Dealing With Pride | May 24, 2026

About this episode

Pastor Daniel Strosnider discusses the dangers of pride and its impact on our relationship with God, using biblical examples to illustrate the importance of humility and obedience.

In the first sermon of a brand-new series, Pastor Daniel Strosnider dives into Proverbs 6:16-19, where God identifies seven things He hates, beginning with a proud look. Pastor Daniel then unpacks pride not as something always visible on the surface, but as a posture of the heart that causes people to dismiss others, walk away from God, and ultimately, place themselves above His authority. Grounding the message in 1 Samuel 15, he examines the story of King Saul, whose arrogance, self-justification, and unwillingness to fully obey God led to his rejection as king — a cautionary tale about how pride disguises itself as devotion while quietly destroying our relationship with the Lord. This sermon is a bold & timely call to humility, repentance, and surrendering our pride to God.
