Day 13: The Enemy of Unity: Pride | Barriers to Unity
• Series: Unity is a Vibe
HOSTED BY: Elder Tiana Clewis, Lady Darneshia Smith, Bro. Mycah Taylor “What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.” James 4: 1-4 (NIV) Pride: “a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements, the achievements of those with whom one is closely associated, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired.” - Oxford dictionary Why is pride talked about so poorly in the church when the definition is almost positive? As a leaders do you ever ask something of someone you are not willing to do yourself? Is that your pride creeping in? Have you ever through about how Christ walked in humility, not pride, by putting The Kingdom first and washing His disciples feet. Join us in the first part of our fifth conversation in “Unity is a Vibe” as our team discusses these questions and explores the Barriers to Unity because sometimes we let our title cloud our judgment.
