A Better Banquet Bunch

I hope that you are open this morning to an encouragement, but also a challenge, because some of the things that I want to say this morning come out of Scripture, and we're going to be talking about in a way that it could kind of come up against some things, because we're talking about something that, you know, like you maybe struggle with once in your life or so, and that's pride.

Anybody? Never mind.

You and I have a thing for pride.

And it's what Satan fell with, the fallen angel, in the first place.

It's an insidious thing that's back behind us.

And rather than focusing on that part, you know what Jesus does mostly? He focuses on the other side of it, which is humility.

And I want to talk to you this morning about practical ways of how you can grow that thing in your life.

And there are some incredible things that Scripture unfolds for us that helps us to grow in that area and helps us to become those kind of people.

So here's my definition of humility.

It's thinking less about yourself.

and thinking more about God and others.

I'll say it one more time.

Not thinking that I am no good, or that I am not what God has made me to be, but just thinking about yourself less, and thinking about God and others more, and then live.

Because it's actually supposed to be natural.

It's supposed to flow out of you.

That's how God's designed you to have that happen.
