2 Samuel 16:15 - Samuel 18 - Pride Breeds Destruction

Why does pride blind us long before it destroys us? As Pastor Paul walks through Absalom’s final rise and fall, he shows how unchecked arrogance blinds a person to good counsel, distorts judgment, and ultimately leads to ruin. These chapters reveal the stark contrast between Absalom’s prideful ambition and David’s humble dependence on God. You’ll see how pride fuels rebellion, how humility protects the heart, and why Scripture warns that “pride goes before destruction.” This teaching invites you to examine your own heart and embrace the freedom that comes from walking low before the Lord.
