Humility
What our pastors have said about humility, drawn from messages preached across our campuses.
In their own words
“manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called with all humility and gentleness so the walk of love involves humility that is not thinking highly of ourselves but knowing our place in humility and in gentleness so we're to be humble people that's how we're to love in humility with a humble stance just as paul bowed his knees before the father and got in that place of humility we are called to love with humility and that often means”
· Loved Well Session 2“Matthew chapter 7, verse 11. And the last thing I'd like for us to look at is gratitude promotes humility. And we know what that word humility means. I just want to kind of define it for us. When I say humility, I mean approachable, teachable, respectable. Humility. This is a loss thing, I think. Someone with humility, humbleness.”
Shane Padgett · Gratitude Modifies Prayer“note of how his humility expresses itself. The first thing that I want you to see is that Paul's humility is humility with great confidence. Paul's humility is humility with great confidence. Now, this doesn't make sense, does it? I mean, normally when we see the greatness of God, we just sort of want to shut our mouths. We get low. We sort of are afraid, fear and”
Joseph Humphreys · United in Prayer“washing their feet. This is the model of true humility. It doesn't matter what the task is. It's humble enough to receive and to take on any task. Humility does not mean self-deprecation for the advancement of others. Humility is not thinking less of yourself thinking less of your worth in Christ. Humility is thinking less about yourself. In other words, you are not the center of your universe.”
Riley Blair · Serving Others“And it is that spirit of dependency, humility that is vital. Why is humility so important? I may give you several reasons. One, humility focuses our attention on Christ and His strength. Instead of, I can, I'm easily able to repeatedly say, I can't. Humility reduces the stress of performance and perfection. How many of us are living agitated every day because we're trying so hard to perform”
David H. McKinley · Happy are the Humble“humility that makes anything difficult in life. It is the fact that we all want to rule our own little kingdoms to the degree that no one else touches the borders of my kingdom that makes me a difficult person to be with, to live with, and to follow. And so humility is the starting point. You might say that humility is the oil and the power that makes things happen and move along. I could say it maybe this way, humility is the WD-40 of human relationships.”
David H. McKinley · Men's Forum Week 2“of Christ we've got to have humility and the only way that we exemplify humility is by looking to Jesus and so today as we look to Jesus I want you to see his humility in in two ways first of all I want us to notice his humility in his service Matthew 20 28 said as the son of man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. What I want you to see is that”
Joseph Humphreys · Life in God’s Family“for the advancement of others. Humility is not thinking less of yourself or thinking less of your worth in Christ. Humility is thinking less about yourself. In other words, you are not the center of your universe. Philippians 2 clarifies this so well. Paul writes, do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.”
