Pride

Pastor Dean discusses the dangers of pride through the story of Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4, highlighting how prosperity can lead to a false sense of ownership over one's achievements. Despite God's grace and resulting blessings for Daniel and his friends, Nebuchadnezzar still declares, “Is this not the great Babylon that I have built?” Ultimately, he is humbled and realizes that all glory belongs to God, which reflects the importance of acknowledging that every good thing comes from Him. The sermon encourages believers to remain humble in seasons of success and to remember that everything we have is a gift from God, urging us to handle prosperity with grace rather than pride.
