    The Humble Will Receive Grace, I Promise! Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jul 13, 2020
     | 7,388 views

    God hates pride, but loves humility. God's promise is that if we humble ourselves before God, He will give us His grace. This truth is clearly displayed in the story of Nebuchadnezzar, and in the story of the Pharisee and the tax collector.

    A. One day a certain preacher began to pride-fully muse about what a fine preacher he had become. 1. So he said to his wife, “How many really great preachers do you think there are?” 2. His wife thought for a minute and said, “Well, I don’t know how many really great preachers there are, but ...read more

    God relentlessly pursues us with grace, even when we run or resist, inviting us to trust His presence and respond to His call.

    Some of us know the sound of God’s whisper as well as we know our own name. It comes in the quiet of a morning commute, in the nudge you can’t shake, in the Scripture that lands like a letter with your address on it. And some of us know the sound of our feet when they’re running in the opposite ...read more
