The word "pride" has a long association with self-centeredness. Since Augustine in the 4th century, pride has been described as the chief sin. (And that's still true if you've ever lived in the upper Midwest for any length of time!) However, there is a good kind of pride, too, one in which we are not proud of ourselves or what we can accomplish, but what God in Christ has already accomplished. What does this good pride look like? How does it compare with the "Roman pride" contemporary to Paul? And, since we are celebrating seven young people who will affirm their baptism, what does it mean for them to take pride in a crucified and risen Christ? Pastor David preaches "Good Pride" based on Romans 1:1-17. This begins a three-month series on Paul's Letter to the Romans.
