Let The Lord Exalt You

Contributed by William Baeta on Aug 31, 2013

“Do not put yourself forward in the king's presence or stand in the place of the great, for it is better to be told, “Come up here,” than to be put lower in the presence of a noble” Pr. 25:6-7.

Parable Of The Arrogant/Humble Servant

Contributed by James Snyder on Sep 2, 2013

If we exalt ourselves, we hinder God’s work and His ability of using us for His work and glory.

Everything Is Ready

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 25, 2025

Jesus pictures the kingdom as a banquet—an invitation to joy. In Luke 14:7–24 He confronts pride, exposes excuses, and calls for a humble, wholehearted response to His invitation—today, not “someday.”

The next couple of weeks we're going to be spending time in Luke 14, in a mini-series called "Come to the Table." I named the series this because - don't you just love invitations to eat? At first I thought that "Let's Eat" may have been a better title for this ...read more
