Humility Handbook

Romans 12: 9 – 21
Rev. Stuart Spencer preaching

Sunday, February 20, 2022

Give Me a Gift

Proverbs 15: 29 – 33

Feets Don’t Fail Me Now

John 13: 1 – 17
Intern Paul Savage preaching
 
Theme: What did Jesus do? Amazingly, He did the job of the lowest servant. Greatness is found by doing those things to those people we would rather avoid.

God’s Gonna Cut You Down

Daniel 4: 34 – 37

Finding Your Seat at the Table

Luke 14: 7 – 14
Rev. Stuart Spencer preaching
5th Sunday, one combined service at 9:30 am in the Sanctuary

Sunday, January 23, 2022

The End of the Civil War

James 4: 1 – 10
Rev. Stuart Spencer preaching
 
Theme: Our pride picks fights and starts wars. Pride is nourished by the values of the world constantly tells us to “have it our way”. Humility brings an end to the fighting, as pride must die.

 
 
Sunday, January 16, 2022

Careful of the Target on Your Back

Luke 18: 9 – 14
Rev. Stuart Spencer preaching
 
Theme: Pride is so easy to spot in others, but much harder in see in ourselves. Good people struggle with pride more than the bad, the broken and the beat-up. Humility lets us see how much we need our God and how much grace He has to give.

 
 
Sunday, January 9, 2022

The Jesus Selfie

Philippians 2: 1 – 11
Rev. Wes Allen preaching
Baptism

New Clothes for a New Year

1 Peter 5: 1 – 11 
Rev. Stuart Spencer preaching
Communion Sunday

Resources on Humility

 
 

Humility: Your Best Friend

Truly, humility is our greatest friend. [Humility] increases our hunger for God’s word and opens our hearts to his Spirit. It leads to intimacy with God, who knows the proud from afar, but dwells with him “who is of a contrite and lowly spirit”. It imparts the aroma of Christ to all whom we encounter. It is a sign of greatness in the kingdom of God. Developing the identity, attitude, and conduct of a humble servant does not happen overnight. It is rather like peeling an onion: you cut away one layer only to find another beneath it. But it does happen. As we forsake pride and seek to humble ourselves by daily deliberate choices in dependence on the Holy Spirit, humility grows in our soul.
 
From the C.S. Lewis Institute

Pride: Your Worst Enemy

Hello my name is Pride.  I am a cheater.  I cheat you of your God-given destiny because you demand your own way.  I cheat you of contentment because you deserve better than this.  I cheat you of knowledge because you already know it all.  I cheat you of healing because you’re too full of me to forgive.  I cheat you of holiness because you refuse to admit when you are wrong.  I cheat you of vision because you’d rather follow your own heart.  I cheat you of genuine friendship because nobody’s going to know the real you.  I cheat you of love because real romance demands sacrifice.  I cheat you of greatness in heaven because you refuse to wash another’s feet on earth.  I cheat you of God’s glory because I convince you to seek your own glory.  My name is Pride.  I am a cheater.  You like me because you think I’m always looking out for you.  Untrue.  I’m looking to make a fool of you.  God has so much for you, I admit.  But don’t worry…If you stick with me you’ll never know!
