Summary

Prideful thoughts sound like these: Who do they think they are? She/he thinks her/his way is the only way to do things. Why do they get praised for doing the same work that I do? I should get recognition for this. I'm not bragging, but... Welcome to a Bible Study segment from the series, ICU: In Christ Unconditionally-Heart Conditions. This week's episode is a study of "The Proud Heart." This is a 25-minute episode, since it is the entire lesson from ICU. We do not need lessons on how to be prideful. It comes naturally. In this episode, we'll look at a poster child for the prideful heart: King Nebuchadnezzar. He thought way too highly of himself, but aren't there times when we're doing the same thing? If you're planning to teach a Bible study group, get the Leader Guide which includes teaching notes. The Leader Guide is also appropriate for solo study. The participants in your group would each need a Participant Guide, which includes interactive blanks to fill in, along with space for study notes. Get your group together and play this episode. You'll complete this lesson in less than 30 minutes. You'll confidently teach the other lessons on your own. Bible study groups are a great way to form lasting bonds of friendship around the Word of God! The episode ends with a BONUS SEGMENT of tips for leading your next Bible study group. "Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom." (Proverbs 13:10) START YOUR BIBLE STUDY GROUPS WITH THESE TOOLS!

0:00.0	There's a good kind of pride, and that's being proud of someone for their accomplishments.
0:04.0	But we also know there's a negative side to the coin of pride.
0:08.0	It's that self-worship, self-elevation, and really thinking too highly of ourselves.
0:14.6	Basically, it's arrogance with conceit, and it can get us into trouble.
0:19.7	There was someone in Scripture who had a problem with
0:22.0	pride, but sometimes I wonder if we think we don't, when actually we might.
0:32.4	Welcome to Keep the Heart podcast with Francie Taylor. Francy is an author, teacher, and conference speaker known for sharing biblical insights
0:42.3	that are practical and inspiring.
0:45.3	Now back to today's valuable study.
0:52.0	If you don't already have a copy of ICU heart conditions that's in Christ unconditionally,
0:58.6	the Bible study that we have in the shop at Keep the Heart, you'll want to get the leader guide,
1:03.5	and that would also work for solo study, but it's really good, especially if you think you might
1:08.3	end up leading a Bible study group. But today we're talking
1:11.4	about the proud heart, and that means we're also going to use someone from Scripture who really
1:17.0	set the example. Nebuchadnezzar. King Nebuchadnezzar was motivated by unrestricted power. Pride can be a
1:25.2	really natural side effect of having wealth and position, but it can also be found
1:29.7	in the heart of anyone. Under the right conditions, it is human nature to elevate self. In fact,
1:37.0	if a person thinks they're too humble to struggle with the problem of pride, they're already struggling
1:41.9	with false humility and genuine pride. Our responses and reactions
1:46.7	to the events of each day expose our levels of pride. The way we handle praise or admiration can also
1:53.5	uncover a proud heart. Did you know that no one has to teach us how to have a proud heart? I bet you
1:59.5	knew that. We come equipped with this from
