A Humble Life Series

Contributed by D Marion Clark on Aug 18, 2012

What the humble life looks like.

Introduction Humility is not a minister’s favorite subject. How can you exhort others to be humble with a clear conscience or presume to know what you are talking about?

Humble Yourself Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Jul 22, 2013

If you want to meet Jesus, you won’t find him at the pinnacle of earthly successes; you have to climb down to the Cornerstone-Jesus is always at the bottom of things, holding everyone else up.

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:6-7 There are four points here, and, I believe, they are connected. Humble Yourselves Peter (and the rest of the New Testament) has ...read more

Be Humble, Everyone.

Contributed by Neal Gracey on May 15, 2016

How do you and I avoid self-exaltation? How does your church avoid it? Beloved, humility is a matter of the heart and a complete understanding of our relationship with the Lord.

Be Humble, Everyone! This story told by Jesus is a familiar one to many. It’s the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector from Luke 18:9-14. I won’t go into the parable itself; we can do that in class, but this story does remind me of several people I know and you probably know ...read more

Blessed Are The Humble Series

Contributed by David Swanger on Jan 22, 2013

God has never spent one moment thinking He is me. Meekness is understanding who I am, who God is, and responding accordingly.

“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” Jesus’ first statements were shocking to the audience that sat before Him on this Galilean hillside.. He challenged them with things totally foreign to their way of thinking. No doubt, they expected to be commended for ...read more

if we pray with an open heart, it will be heard and we will be forgiven

Humble Thyself

Contributed by Tim Carpenter on Feb 13, 2019

Do not exalt yourself. Do not be prideful. Do not claim to be the best at anything, even if it's true. You are not really 10 ft. tall and bullet proof. Even Superman has weakness. Pride is our Kryptonite.

Humbly Heartfelt

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 24, 2025

Christ’s humility reveals heaven’s heart—God stooping in love. When His mind lives in us, pride dies, grace flows, and hearts rise.

I. The Heartbeat of Heaven There are moments in Scripture that let us overhear the heartbeat of heaven. Philippians 2 : 5-11 is one of them. It’s as if Paul pulls back the curtain and lets us listen to how God thinks and feels. It’s not thunder or trumpet—it’s the quiet pulse of divine ...read more

Hard To Be Humble Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 22, 2025
