• K1 Dan shared a meme that read “I struggle with pride. I get prideful from being willing to admit that I’m prideful”. What does this meme reveal about our human nature?

• G1 From Sunday’s message, in what way is pride madness? Does Colossians 1:16 shed light on this?
• G2 If the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom (Prov 1:8), then what is the destination or goal of wisdom?
• G3 Dan said that pride is the absence of gratitude. How then do we account for Luke 18:9-14 where the Pharisee seems to be both proud and grateful?
• G4 Dan said that pride is at the root of all other sins. Do you agree with this statement or not? Think of examples.
• G5 Pride comes from within (Mark 7:20-23) but humility comes from without (Romans 12:3). How do these impact our struggle with pride? What are the weapons that we have at our disposal?
• G6 How might viewing ourselves as (a) unworthy servants of Jesus (Luke 17:10) and (b) friends of Jesus (John 15:15) help is in living a God-honouring, healthy life? How does this connect with living with gratitude?
• G7 Consider Nebuchadnezzar’s account in Daniel 4. Does this show God’s judgment or God’s love?

• S1 Think about the phrase the Utter Relief of Humilty / Gratitude. Take time this week to seek this relief. And thank God for it.
