Swallowed by Pride

 • Series: In the Wilderness | Numbers

In this message from our In the Wilderness series, we explore the sobering account of Korah’s rebellion in Numbers 16. What happens when pride challenges God’s design for leadership and worship? What does it mean to treat God’s holiness with the reverence it deserves? Through this powerful narrative, we’re reminded that pride is more than a personal flaw—it’s a spiritual danger that resists correction and rejects God’s boundaries. Yet even in the midst of judgment, God provides a way of mercy. Just as Aaron stood between the living and the dead, Jesus stands between us and the just consequence of sin. This message invites us to check our pride, respond to God’s holiness, and trust in Christ’s atoning work. Key themes: • Pride as the root of rebellion • God’s holiness and its weight • Just judgment for sin • Intercessory prayer and spiritual leadership • Jesus as our perfect mediator To walk with God is to walk humbly, set apart, and surrendered.
