Above All Else, Guard Your Heart — Part 16

Steven Shelley
New Hope Revival Ministries
This sermon examines how pride and haughtiness partner with offense to create spiritual strongholds in believers’ lives. Using Ezekiel 28’s account of Lucifer’s fall as a biblical foundation, the message reveals how pride originated in heaven before manifesting on earth. Pastor Shelley explains that pride is not merely a personality trait but a spiritual force that deepens offense and creates resistance to correction. The path to freedom comes through genuine humility, seeking understanding of others, and continual dependence on God despite spiritual maturity or experience.
