Man-made Religion

Mike Sullivan

Mark 7:1-23

Ritualistic, man-made rule following does nothing to improve our righteousness before God because it does not address our most pressing problem. Our fallen, sinful nature must be addressed not by outward demonstrations but by an inward renewing of our heart that only Jesus can bring about.

Being In the World But Not of It

Conrad Hilario

John 15:18-20

Jesus teaches that since the world rejected Him, followers of Him must expect the same treatment. We must not get distracted by cravings for the things of this world. We must reject the temptations Satan offers and instead choose to be in the world but not of it.

The Pharisee and the Publican

Patrice McCormac

Luke 18:9-14

While the Pharisee exalted himself, the tax collector humbled himself before God and was declared righteous. Pride ignored prevents us from experiencing God's love and care. Pride leads to exalting oneself which leads to being painfully humbled, but humbling oneself leads to being exalted by God.

Choosing the Lesser Place

God has a a challenging call to action for Christians. He calls us to humble ourselves and intentionally take the lower place rather than seek the place of honor. He promises to exalt those who humble themselves and to humble those who exalt themselves.

The Heart of a King

Scott Risley

1 Samuel 11-16

When the Israelites demanded a king, they looked at the outward appearances but God looks inward at the heart. The people saw Saul, tall, handsome and wealthy and desired him for their king, but he did not trust God nor obeyed Him. After God rejected Saul as king, He chose David, a man after His own heart.

God's New Man

Dennis McCallum

1 Samuel 15-17

After Saul's repeated disobedience to God's commands, God picks a new leader, the young shepherd boy, David. When the armies of God are being defied by the Philistine giant, Goliath, David trusts God to give Goliath into his hand even though he is only armed with a stone and a sling. Where the entire Israelite army cowered in fear, David had a divine perspective and was willing to do something audacious.

Clothe Yourself with Humility

Ben Foust

1 Peter 5:5-7

Peter calls on all Christians to clothe themselves with humility because a humble mindset is essential equipment for the "fiery ordeals' we will encounter. He calls us to be humble toward God, those "over' us, those "under" us, one another, and toward our worries. This is God's way! Although it is hard on the pride, it is the way of truth and freedom and confidence.

The Downward Call of God

Mike Woods

Luke 14:7-11

Since God is opposed to the proud but gives grace to the humble, He will lower those who lift themselves up and He will raise up those who lower themselves. God calls us to make a clear choice to not seek honor, recognition or top position. If we humble ourselves, in the right time, God will exalts us.
