Title: Radical Dependence
Text: Luke 23:26-43                              
Summary: What is humility? Humility is often a confusing term, used in different ways in different contexts. Oftentimes humility is seen as a general lowering of self-regard. But does this fully describe the humility of God himself, through Jesus Christ? Augustine, one of the most influential early church fathers on western theology, would say no, it is not incorrect, but it is incomplete. Augustine considered humility the single most important virtue of the Christian faith, and through his perspective, this sermon explores the possibility that humility is actually much more foundational - it is, at its root, radical dependence on God.
