Take this message with you through a journey of Scripture, reflection, and prayer.
Summary
Themes
Key Points
- 1.Arrogance makes a person a magnet for deception, whereas biblical humility protects us from self-deception.
- 2.Good intentions alone are not enough to protect you from being subtly corrupted by bad company.
- 3.Evolution does not always mean elevation; changing in life does not automatically mean you are growing spiritually.
- 4.True arrogance is not knowing your gifts, but forgetting the God who gave them to you.
- 5.Relationships in your inner circle should not be built solely on shared history, but on shared destiny.
- 6.Taking people into your future whom God intended for you to leave behind creates unnecessary relational friction.
- 7.Setting relational boundaries is not about giving up on people, but giving people up to God.
- 8.Following Jesus' model, we must structure relationships into our 3 (inner circle friends), 12 (associates), and 70 (broader acquaintances) to prevent misplaced access.
Sermon Moments
“Arrogance is a magnet for deception. The more arrogant you are, the more easily you will be deceived.”
“The most dangerous type of deception is self-deception.”
“Evolution doesn't always mean elevation because there are people that change and they do not change for the better.”
“Arrogance doesn't come from you knowing who you are and what God gave you; arrogance comes when you forget who gave it to you.”
“When all you can talk about with someone is the dirt you used to do, you are resurrecting a version of yourself that God is trying to keep buried.”
“You cannot set a boundary in the present because of guilt with the past.”
“There is a difference between giving up on people and giving people up to God.”
“Without boundaries, people that should be in the 70 end up in your 3 and become Lots that cause disruption to your destiny.”
