I Got Issues

Let's be honest: we've all got issues. This series takes on the big ones—anger, comparison, pride, negativity, and perfectionism—and starts with the main issue Jesus actually came to earth to fix (hint: it might not be what you think). Bring your issues; God isn't scared of them.

The Comparison Issue

John 21:18-22 Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish.” 19 This He spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God.

The Pride Issue

I Got Issues - Week 4 - Pride

God’s hate is driven by God's love

Proverbs 6:16-17 - "These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him. A proud look..."


#1 God Hates Pride

Good pride: is seen in healthy self-respect, dignity, satisfaction in a job well done, joy in seeing others succeed.

Bad pride: is conceited, egotistical. Bad pride manifests itself in arrogance and boasting. Bad pride doesn’t need others.

Do you talk too much?
Do you brag?

  • Pride always has to have a voice

Do you have a problem interrupting people?

Do you have a hard time saying you’re sorry?

Do you never ask for advice?

Do you always have something to add?

The Negativity Issue

I Got Issues - Week 5 - The Negativity Issue

John 15:5-8 I am the Vine, you are the branches. When you’re joined with me and I with you, the relation intimate and organic, the harvest is sure to be abundant. Separated, you can’t produce a thing. Anyone who separates from me is deadwood, gathered up and thrown on the bonfire.

A critical spirit is an attitude of criticism and fault-finding, which seeks to tear down others rather than build up. A critical spirit often sees the worst instead of looking for the best.

Constructive criticism finds problems, but with the mindset of finding hope and solutions to those problems.
