Humility

Find a sermon associated with this topic below.

This sermon uses the story of King Saul to illustrate spiritual blind spots, which are areas of disobedience we hide from ourselves through denial, blame-shifting, and self-justification. True healing from these blind spots comes not from our own attempts at self-justification, but from humbling ourselves, confessing our sins, and finding our acceptance in the grace of Jesus Christ alone.

This sermon focuses on the Incarnation—God becoming human in Jesus—as the ultimate example of God's humility, which provides a foundation for a proper view of ourselves and others. It encourages believers to be "incarnation people" by living out this same humility, denying their own rights for the flourishing of others, and bringing "Shalom" (peace) to a broken world, particularly in the face of racial injustice.

This sermon, based on Psalm 8, reveals three aspects of God's majesty: His power shown in creation, His mindfulness in caring for insignificant humanity, and most importantly, His humility revealed in Jesus Christ. The message argues that Jesus, the Creator, willingly became human and suffered a temporary humiliation "a little lower than the angels" to die on our behalf, ultimately restoring humanity's purpose and providing the greatest reason for our worship.

This sermon redefines the biblical concept of waiting as an active stance of patience and obedience, not passive idleness. The message encourages believers to focus on God's presence, find joy in Christ's finished work, and maintain an eternal perspective in the midst of anxieties and trials.

This sermon explains that the doctrine of the Incarnation—God becoming human in Jesus Christ—is the ultimate solution to the church's disunity, which is often rooted in a "glory-starved" pursuit of external validation. By a selfless act of humility, Jesus emptied Himself of His glory so that believers, in a substitutionary act, could be filled with His divine fullness, freeing them from the need for self-exaltation and empowering them to love others.

This sermon explains that humanity, as image-bearers of God, is meant to reflect His greatness and love, but our inherent self-centeredness prevents us from doing so. The message highlights Jesus as the ultimate model of humility, who, despite being God, willingly emptied himself by becoming a servant and dying on the cross, providing the path to true transformation and the ability to reflect God's image.
