    We tend to think that meekness is for losers, but Jesus teaches that the earth belongs to those who humility and meekness is seen in their trust of Christ.

    Blessed are the Meek Matthew 5:5 May 29, 2005 This is the third sermon on the beatitudes. We have come down to Matthew 5:5. “Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth.” I have a feeling that we have a problem today as we come to this beatitude on meekness.

    We learn from the story of the Tower of Babel the futility of trying to make a name for ourselves.

    I. Making a name We see in the first chapters of Genesis that people basically chose one of two paths. A few of them humbled themselves and followed God, trusting in him and his protection. Such were the descendents of Seth. The other group was principally the descendents of Cain. These ...read more

    God rewards those who earnestly seek Him. God gave Uzziah success when he sought Him. When he turned away and disobeyed God because of his pride, he lost everything.

    Heb 11:6 “...anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” God have given us a promise, that if we seek Him earnestly, we shall be rewarded. • This is an offer with a guarantee returns The question is not whether you attend church or how ...read more

    Rather than demand His rights as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus expected no special treatment - in fact, He turned the idea of service upside down.

    Don’t You Know Who I Am? TCF Maundy Thursday sermon April 13, 2006 You may have heard on the news the past few weeks about the congresswoman from Georgia, who tried to walk past Capitol security without proper identification. When the security officer tried to stop her, she struck him. Though ...read more

     | 5,099 views

    This message explores the contrast of the Pharisee and the tax collector, helping us see why humility matters.

    “Respond Humbly” (Luke 18:9-14) Humility. It seems to be a distant character trait in our world today, doesn’t it? Even in our circle of churches, pride can creep in and become way too evident in our midst. Sometimes when I look around at our Christian culture, it reminds of this video… [Show ...read more

    We live in a society obsessed with being number one, while following Jesus who calls us to humble, faithful service. To meet the challenge of Jesus’ call, we must start at the foot of the cross.

    Luke 14:1, 7-14 “The Blessings of Last Place” INTRODUCTION This week a 41 year-old father was indicted on drug charges.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,411 views

    The poor in spirit understands that they are bankrupt before God. They have nothing to offer, nothing to plead, nothing with which to buy the favour of heaven. When we understand that, God can use us in a great way.

    The Beatitudes describe what every Christian ought to be. • Jesus says these are those who are truly blessed. • And He expects us to manifest these traits. • None of these traits are natural human tendencies; it is what we can become by the grace of God. • They are attainable and achievable ...read more

    Arrogance appears in our lives when we judge others and plan without God. The solution is found in the Lord.

    The Cure for Arrogance James 4:11-17 Introduction James presents a problem everyone has, arrogance, also called pride. It is a real problem when it is found in the church.

    Proposition: The humble make up the population of God’s kingdom.

    Luke 14:7-35 (ESV) Introduction A. One of the delights of pastoring this church is the fact that few of us are considered to have come from the best part of society.
