What happens when biblical knowledge becomes a source of pride instead of humility?
Pastor Chet tackles this challenging topic by examining Apollos—a brilliant scholar from Alexandria who was "mighty in the Scriptures" yet humble enough to learn from tent makers.
In this episode, you'll discover:
• Why Jesus spent 30 years in obscurity before His ministry began
• The dangerous trap that catches both seminary graduates and longtime believers
• How knowledge can make us "untouchable" in the worst way possible
• Why Paul prayed for believers to be "rooted and grounded in love"
• The one character quality Jesus used to describe Himself
• Why pride is like "Whac-A-Mole" in the Christian life
Pastor Chet addresses uncomfortable truths about pride in various theological movements, including his own Calvary Chapel background, while calling all believers back to the humility and love that should characterize those who truly know Christ.
Key Scripture References:
• Acts 18 (Apollos' story)
• Matthew 11:28-30 (Jesus' gentle and lowly heart)
• Ephesians 3:14-19 (Paul's prayer for love-rooted knowledge)
• 1 Corinthians 13 (Love above all)
Remember: "Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up." Let your understanding of Scripture lead to greater humility and love, not pride and untouchability.
