Breakthrough Pride

May 16, 2021 by Brad Murphy

This sermon is part 7 of 8 in the Breakthrough 2021

DIGITAL BULLETIN 16 May 2021

Week 7 Breakthrough

Today is your day for breakthrough.

“Breakthrough” is one of the most powerful words; whatever was strong enough to stop you initially, has been defeated!

Hopelessness, abuse, fear, anxiety, grief, pain… you name it, God offers HIS power to help us breakthrough.

In this message, you will learn how the resurrection of Jesus overcomes personal and religious pride, to humble us before God to receive His salvation.

But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Matthew 19:26 (ESV)

Breakthrough Pride

| Acts 9:1-23 | Acts 22:1-21 | Acts 26:1-23 | Philippians 3:4-12 | 2 Corinthians 11:21-33 |

But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest 2 and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. 3 Now as he went on his way, he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven shone around him. 4 And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” 5 And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.

Acts 9:1-5 (ESV)

From Pride to Humility

  1. The Prideful Persecutor (Acts 9:1-5)
  2. Humbled Before Jesus (Acts 9:6-19)
  3. Preaches Jesus Christ (Acts 9:20-23)

though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; 6 as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law,[c] blameless. 7 But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— 10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.

Philippians 3:4-12 (ESV)
