    Jul 25 2024

Childhood pretenses are one thing but pretending as an adult, can be devastating. In today’s message, Aaron Brockett, lead minister with Traders Point Christian Church in Indianapolis, Indiana, unpacks what happens when pride becomes pretending and the ways it can destroy lives. So, with a lesson from God’s word on what special seats, phylacteries, tassels, hypocrites, and pride all have in common, here’s Aaron To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/326/29

    The Empty Promises of Pride
    Jul 18 2024
    Every single one of us has a vulnerability or weakness in our character that, left unchecked, can and will bring down our relationships, reputation, and influence. That weakness is pride where pride is an unhealthy preoccupation with self. This week, Aaron Brockett, preaching minister at Trader’s Point Christian Church with multiple campuses in Indianapolis, IN, shares insights into the root of nearly every sin struggle we have. You might be surprised to learn that scripture makes it clear that God hates pride. His hatred is not without reason, He knows pride is at the root of nearly every sin struggle we have, and that explains why the Bible relates one of the most loving things God does for us is oppose pride in our lives. So, here’s Aaron with insight into how there is freedom in letting go of pride, embracing humility, and acknowledging our need for God in everything we do To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/326/29
