Sermon Series: Heart Disease - The Deadly Inner World of Sin

Scripture: Philippians 2:1-11

Sermon: The Queen of Sin

Preacher: J.C. Fowler

Explore the ancient struggle with pride, often called the "queen of all sins," and discover its powerful antidote found in the book of Philippians. This message delves into the true meaning of humility—not as self-degradation, but as a radical shift in focus away from self-centeredness. Learn how adopting the self-emptying mindset of Jesus can cure spiritual heart disease and lead to a more fulfilling life of serving others.

FAITHWORK ASSIGNMENT

Take some time to reflect on the nature of pride as a spiritual sickness of self-centeredness, where we often mistakenly believe we know better than God. Remember that true humility is not about degrading yourself or thinking you have no value; it is simply about thinking of yourself less and grounding yourself in God's truth. Your challenge is to actively combat pride by consciously turning your thoughts toward serving the needs of those around you instead of focusing solely on your own interests.

SERMON SERIES

Heart Disease - The Deadly Inner World of Sin

Since the early centuries of the church certain sins have come to be known as deadly. These persistent and pernicious behaviors, while not listed as a group in scripture, have a resonance and application that are timeless. Lust, greed, envy, pride, sloth, wrath, gluttony continue to haunt the life of God’s people throughout the ages. This Lent we want to look at the attitudes that orient us toward these destructive behaviors, and how we as Christians can move beyond these to health. We need to have a heart checkup.
