The War With Pride, 4 of 5 from November 23, 2025
“In a world clamoring for extraordinary insights we are content with Jesus.”
2 Corinthians 12:1-2 by Michael Lockstampfor (@miklocks)
SUMMARY
This sermon explores the tension between having unlimited knowledge in the "information age" and the Biblical call to find contentment in Christ. Pastor Michael discusses 2 Corinthians 12, where Paul shares a vision of the third heaven and boasts in his weaknesses. It emphasizes that our "unknowing" points us back to God and urges believers to find sufficiency in Jesus, cautioning against pride and the tendency to place ourselves in God's role by demanding He meets our expectations instead of submitting to His will.
REFLECTION & DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
💬 What expectations are we putting on Jesus which put us in God’s place?
💬 What are we most tempted to exaggerate?
💬 Are we content with Jesus’ love and provision?
