It's All About Love Episode 4
Description
Pastor Danny Wolford continues the series on Love, focusing on humility as a key characteristic of true love. He emphasizes that love is not proud or conceited, and that pride and humility cannot coexist.
1. Understanding Humility:
• Humility is not timidity, insecurity, or self-deprecation.
• It takes courage, confidence, and security in Christ to be humble.
2. Jesus as the Ultimate Example of Humility:
• He was born in a stable, rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, and died a humiliating death on the cross.
• Philippians 2:3-8 describes how Jesus humbled Himself for humanity.
3. Practical Ways to Practice Humility:
• Giving preference to others – putting others before ourselves (Romans 12:10 ).
• Learning from others – being open to wisdom and correction (Proverbs 15).
• Admitting when we are wrong – avoiding the pride that leads to resistance.
• Surrendering our plans to God – choosing His path over our own (Romans 6:13 ).
4. Key Scriptures:
• Matthew 11:29 – “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart.”
• Micah 6:8 – “Act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.”
• James 4:6-7 – “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
5. Final Challenge:
• Danny challenges everyone to ask themselves: Have I fully surrendered to God?
• The service closes with an invitation to trust in Christ.
