In this message from The Seven Things God Hates series, Dr. John Carmichael tackles the first and foundational issue from Proverbs 6: haughty eyes—when self takes the throne. Drawing from Luke 18, James 4, Philippians 2, and other New Testament texts, this sermon exposes pride as a rival throne that resists grace, grieves the Holy Spirit, and blocks spiritual power. This is a Spirit-filled call to humility, repentance, and restored intimacy with God—the posture that makes room for lasting presence and genuine revival.
