The Way of the Saint - Humility

In this sermon, Pastor Devin explores the Christian principle of humility through Philippians 2:5-11. He emphasizes that humility is not natural to the human condition, which tends toward pride and self-focus. The pastor explains that Jesus exemplified perfect humility by emptying himself, taking the form of a servant, and submitting to death on a cross despite being fully God. This humility led to his exaltation by God.

Humility is not natural to humans but is essential for Christians as it was exemplified by Jesus throughout His life and death.

True humility begins in the heart as an inner disposition, not just outward actions or a soft exterior.

Jesus, though fully God, emptied Himself by taking the form of a servant and submitting to death on a cross.

In God's upside-down kingdom, the way up is down - those who humble themselves will be exalted by God at the proper time.

Humility requires actively crucifying pride and recognizing that everything we have comes from God.
