We can all agree that humility is something we all need. Yet, humility is something we often misunderstand. Much like character, humility is not something that we simply have – it is to be fought for, it is to be worked on.
As a church family we want to Make Every Effort to grow in humility.
Take a look at the key points in yesterday’s sermon. Did any resonate in your spirit? Did any cause a conviction? Ask God to remove any wrong understandings of humility. Ask God to remove any traces of pride. Let us prepare the soil for this upcoming Sunday where we will talk about Godly humility.
What may LEAD to pride:
- Knowledge
- Possessions
- Abilities
- Power
- Youthfulness
- Achievements can lead to pride
- Culture may breed pride
What humility ISN’T:
- Spiritual talk doesn’t prove you’re humble
- Lowly station in life doesn’t mean you’re humble
- Possessing great spiritual gifts doesn’t mean you’re humble
- Boasting doesn’t mean that you’re NOT humble
- Self-confidence doesn’t mean you’re NOT humble
