The Humility of Creation and the Poison of Pride | October 12, 2025

First Presbyterian Church of Orlando Season 5 Episode 41

Rev. Tanner Fox | Genesis 1:26-28

Humility is the most natural posture of Adam and Eve. They did not think too little of themselves, nor too much. Their lives were full of delightful humility, knowing who they were, who made them, and what they were made for. Their lives were characterized by dependency as a feature of the great system of God’s creation, not a bug that needed to be fixed. Pride comes like a poison infecting and affecting all that is rightly ordered in the world, and we are left hopelessly self-concerned.
