Ep. 123: More Than Conquerors: The Giant of Pride vs. The Lord of Heaven’s Armies,

<p class="p1">In Podcast Episode 123, “More Than Conquerors: The Giant of Pride vs. The Lord of Heaven’s Armies,” Kim discusses the many faces of the giant of pride. Many equate the sin of pride to someone like Goliath, who is so obviously full of himself and his perceived self-worth. Yet, loud proclamations of how great you think you are is not the only manifestation of pride. We see another element of pride in Eliab, David’s older brother, and we will also look at the faces of pride from the two sons described in the story most commonly referred to as “The Prodigal Son” in the Gospel of Luke. </p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">The primary scripture text for this episode is 1 Samuel 17:1-58 with the key verses 8-11, 28.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">8 Goliath stood and shouted a taunt across to the Israelites. “Why are you all coming out to fight?” he called. “I am the Philistine champion, but you are only the servants of Saul. Choose one man to come down here and fight me! 9 If he kills me, then we will be your slaves. But if I kill him, you will be our slaves! 10 I defy the armies of Israel today! Send me a man who will fight me!” 11 When Saul and the Israelites heard this, they were terrified and deeply shaken.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">28 But when David’s oldest brother, Eliab, heard David talking to the men, he was angry. “What are you doing around here anyway?” he demanded. “What about those few sheep you’re supposed to be taking care of? I know about your pride and deceit. You just want to see the battle!”</p> <p class="p3"><a href='https://www.facebook.com/groups/encouragingothersinlovingjesus/'></a></p> <p class="p1">Additional Verses:</p> <p class="p3"> </p> <p class="p4"><a href='https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+15%3A11-32&version=NLT'>Luke 15:11-32 The Parable of the Prodigal Son</a></p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">Weekly Assignment Feature: </p> <p class="p3"> </p> <p class="p1">Humble yourself before the Lord and invite Him
