The Virtue of Humility - 05/30/2021
Greetings on this beautiful Sunday,
Today we finish up our series on the Virtues of Faith. These tools that support our path to spiritual maturity and give us strength against the vice of sin in our lives. Today we welcome Rev. Rick Carder to share his message on the Virtue of Humility with a message titled "Getting Over Yourself".
Pride, is the sin that is most commonly defeated by humility. Pride is a prison sentence. Humility is freedom from that sin. We can practice humility in our lives in 3 main ways:
1. Purposeful Kingdom Living - Remembering where we are going and what map (The Bible) we are using to get there.
2. Professing Genuine Love - Seeing others allows us to see things God wants us to see. Serving others is sharing His Love and reminds us that life is about something beyond ourselves.
3. Practicing a Gracious Lifestyle - Living with meekness (not weakness) with a convicted heart confident that God is in control.
Seeking humble living requires us to discover and embrace our identity in Christ. This is found first in the Bible and through a relationship with God who loves you so much.
Seek Him today. When the focus on ourselves decreases, we are humbled and He, God, increases.
Here is the link to this week's message:
Blessings to you as you practice these virtues and grow in your faith this week.
Pastor Jeremy
