Stay Humble

About this episode

This episode discusses the story of King Uzziah, exploring how pride led to his downfall despite his initial success and faithfulness to God.

Ever wonder how someone doing everything right can still lose their way? King Uzziah started strong—16 years old, reigning 52 years, blessed by God with military victories and prosperity. But somewhere along the way, pride crept in. This sermon from our "Crowned But Compromised" series walks through the sobering story of King Uzziah (also called Azariah), a leader who did right in God's eyes but fell into the trap of thinking he'd become so strong he didn't need God's help anymore. His name literally means "Yahweh is my strength"—yet he forgot that truth. The result? Leprosy, isolation, and a cautionary tale for all of us.
