Pride: The Secret Assassin of the Family | My Crazy Blessed Family Pt. 3 |

Nov 23, 2025    Adam McCain

In My Crazy Blessed Family Part 3, Pastor Adam continues the Hill City Church series by exposing one of the most destructive forces in every home—pride, the silent assassin that destroys marriages and families from the inside out. Drawing from Isaiah 14 and the fall of Lucifer, Pastor Adam shows that pride was the first sin ever committed and remains the root of rebellion, division, and relational breakdown today. When pride rises in a home, it becomes nearly impossible to say “I was wrong,” “I’m sorry,” or “I forgive you”—and that refusal kills intimacy, blocks God’s grace, and creates distance between the people God has joined together as one. In contrast, Jesus models true humility, teaching us that families thrive when hearts are gentle, repentant, and surrendered to God.


Pastor Adam walks Hill City through the biblical keys to cultivating humility—repenting quickly, practicing forgiveness, serving without applause, showing gratitude, celebrating each other’s strengths, and welcoming honest feedback. He reminds us that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble, meaning pride will always lead to frustration, but humility opens the floodgates of God’s blessing. Whether you’re navigating marriage, parenting, or family relationships, this message will help you identify where pride is creeping in and teach you how to replace it with Christlike humility that heals, strengthens, and restores. In this powerful teaching, Pastor Adam reveals that pride may be the secret assassin—but humility is the secret weapon.
