No, this is not a pun on Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. In this
sermon, Matt Livers will discuss how seeing a loved one’s shared post on Facebook got him thinking more about the word pride with all its various meanings and implications.
Pride is a powerful word with the ability to build community or to harm it. Do we, as community members, have the courage to love ourselves and celebrate our accomplishments as one meaning of pride suggests? Do we also have the courage to acknowledge when we are living apart from others because we feel we are better than them or we do not wish to feel vulnerable in asking for help, or to apologize for our actions, as another meaning of pride suggests?
