SERMON NOTES I. Pride wants to stay in control of the situation. II. Pride clings to its own life, and loses it in the process. III. Jesus sees right through us. IV. Humility is the death of pride.   FOR DISCUSSION AND REFLECTION - Tell about a time when your pride got puffed up, and then deflated. - What do you think was the biggest problem with Simon Peter’s hypocrisy between what he said he’d do, and what he actually did? - Where does our culture teach us to cling to our own lives instead of living fully for Jesus Christ? Why is it effective? - If Jesus were looking into your eyes right now, what’s the thing He sees that makes you break into tears? - Where does God want you to think of yourself less? How will you live into that this coming week? - What is God saying to you through today's scripture?
