What Does Humility Look Like? // Upside Down Kingdom, Part 3 2Rivers Church Messages

Humility is not by accident but a conscious effort on our part. It’s not present in our resume or a checkbox on our list of accomplishments, but only happens because of who Jesus is. 

In Matthew 23: 11-12, Jesus was speaking among those who looked and acted like they had it all together: The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. 

Today it’s not much different but what does this look like every day? 

Incorporating humility into your daily life might feel like a challenging task in a world that teaches self-promotion, but getting to the heart of it looks like loving and investing in other people.
In a world that rewards self-promotion, learning to be humble in your daily life can seem difficult. At its heart, though, humility is about loving and investing in other people.

See Isaiah 2:12, Proverbs 16:5, Proverbs 16:18 Luke 18:9-14

 So is the way up in this world really to stepcome back down? 

Join Pastor Ron Cathcart as he walks you through the principles and teachings of humility so you can walk in it every single day of your life! 

CHECK YOURSELF 

Examining yourself means a heart check.  The way you walk in your life will come out in the way you live your life!  Ask yourself is it all about me or is it about Jesus? 

Proverbs 4:23, 1 John 2: 15-17, 1 Peter 5: 5-6, James 4: 6-10, Proverbs 13:10 

MEET WITH GOD DAILY 

It’s not just about listening to the sermon on Sunday, but getting into God’s Word everyday. When you make this a daily practice, you will find God will speak into your life and that you in turn, are not the hero of the story. By making this a daily practice, you'll discover that God speaks into your life more often, and, in turn, you'll realize you're not the hero of the story. 

Isaiah 40:25-26 

BE LIKE JESUS 

Jesus humbled himself to the point of death on a cross.  He was the most humble man to ever walk the earth. Today that might look like putting aside your to do list to take care of a person in need.

Philippians 2:3, Philippians 2:5-9

SERVE OTHERS 

Jesus washed the feet of others. In His greatest time of need before going to the cross, Jesus put others before Himself. Getting in the middle of someone else’s mess or circumstances is putting their needs before your own! 

Matthew 23:11-12, Mark 9:33-35, Luke 9:43-48, John 13:12-15
