Puffed Up!
1 Corinthians 4:6-7
February 28, 2007

We can be so full of ourselves that we become puffed up. When we are puffed up with pride and selfishness our relationships will be hindered. Humility is needed in all of our relationships. Every believer has four relationships in which humility must play a part. If one of these relationships is wrong the others will be affected in a negative way.
