1 Chronicles 10:106,13,14
“70% of leaders do not finish well…(the Ascent of a Leader)

3 lies that pride whispers in our ears
The Lies of Pride
1] I am special and priviledged
2] The Rules don’t apply to me
3] I deserve more than I have

Lessons for finishing well:

Focus on Faithfulness, not success
Focus on Character, not fame or wealth
Focus on Others, not self
