Pride, Humility, and Teachability | Pastor Brian Bell | Proverbs Series (Week 7)

Описание: Pride is often the hardest sin to recognize in ourselves—but it may also be one of the most dangerous. In this message from our study in the Book of Proverbs, Pastor Brian explores the powerful contrast between pride, humility, and teachability, revealing how pride quietly isolates us while humility positions us to receive God’s grace and wisdom.

Through Proverbs and biblical insight, we see that pride isn’t simply confidence—it’s the illusion of self-sufficiency that resists correction and pushes God out of the center of our lives. Humility, on the other hand, welcomes wisdom, receives correction as a gift, and remains teachable no matter our age or stage of life. Pastor Brian challenges us to consider how pride can show up in everyday areas like relationships, leadership, faith, and family—and how God uses humility to shape our character and future.

Ultimately, this message points us to Jesus, the humble King who modeled perfect dependence on the Father. His life shows us that true greatness in God’s kingdom comes not from elevating ourselves, but from humbling ourselves before Him.

As you watch, consider:
• When was the last time you changed your mind?
• Who in your life can lovingly correct you?
• Are you still teachable?

At Calvary Murrieta we are learning together how to be Jesus followers who are authentic and transparent with each other. We know that we are more sinful and flawed than we ever dared believe; yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus than we ever dared hope. We believe this is the essence of Jesus’ really Good News. Our church family is doing our best to create a space to entangle our lives, right in the midst of the messiness of community. If your long term goal is to love God completely, love people authentically, and make Jesus followers globally, then you’ve come to the right place.
