TRUTH: The road to being Gospel-centered is obstructed by pride.

Pride keeps me from…

1. Hearing
Mark 9:32 :: But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.

2. Serving
Mark 9:35 :: And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, “If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.”

3. Recognizing others
Mark 9:39 :: But Jesus said, “Do not stop him, for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me.

4. Fearing Hell
Mark 9:49 :: For everyone will be salted with fire.
