About This Message
Filling in while Pastor Addison preached elsewhere, the speaker works through Judges 12, where the men of Ephraim threaten Jephthah after refusing to help him fight the Ammonites. He traces several marks of pride in their response, including feeling entitled to credit, overconfidence, refusing to rejoice with others, and making false accusations, noting that the resulting conflict cost forty-two thousand Ephraimites their lives.
Key Takeaways
- Pride often shows up as feeling entitled to unearned recognition.
- Pride keeps you from rejoicing when others succeed.
- Unchecked pride can bring devastating, even deadly, consequences.
