James chapter four addresses several problems. PRIDE Wars and strife Worldliness Speaking evil of and judging our brethren Arrogant boasting Failing to do good (which is sin)

Pride is a great problem for man. Pride is hated by God (Prov. 6:16-17). Pride brings destruction (Prov. 16:18). Pride is one of Satan’s avenues of temptation (1 John 2:16).

1. Pride Leads To Strife vs. 1-4 Strife with others (v. 1) Strife with self (vs. 1-3) Strife with God (vs. 4-6)

2. Pride Distorts Reality Life is about seeking and satisfying personal pleasures (vs. 1-2) The proper objects of our prayers (v. 3) Seeking friendship with both God and the world (v. 4) Taking tomorrow for granted (vs. 13-16)

3. Pride Elevates Man Above God James 4:11-12 In order to speak evil of and judge our brother, we must have first judged God’s law forbidding such to be unworthy of following. Doing so puts us in a very dangerous position - sitting in judgment of God and His law.

Overcoming Pride Submit to God (v. 7) Resist the devil (v. 7) Draw near to God (vs. 8-9) cleanse our hands – seek forgiveness purify our hearts – repent lament, mourn, weep – show godly sorrow Humble ourselves in the sight of God (v. 10)
