Bragging of Boasting

Mar 8, 2026    Pastor Jim Melrose

What is the difference between "boasting" and "bragging"? We are told to "Boast in the Lord" but are warned against building ourselves up above others because of ego and pride. Can we "boast" and still be humble? During the Season of Lent, we are looking at a transformation of our inner selves. Is it possible that "Boasting" is part of that transformation, while "bragging" is detrimental to our relationship with God? Join us this Sunday, and we will look at the difference between bragging for self-promotion and boasting as part of our transformation.
