Mission Hills Church
Purpose doesn’t come from changing your circumstances or your stuff. It comes when the empty tomb changes your perspective. Whether you’re at the top of your game or feel like you’ve hit rock bottom, Jesus offers you a life of more hope, more meaning, and more joy.
Humility is the key to all the more we're looking for.
Humility isn't thinking less of ourselves, it's thinking of ourselves less.
When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?" (John 21:15a)
Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. (Pro 16:18).
Before a downfall the heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor. (Prov. 18:12).
Without humility, more honor just causes more harm.
"Yes/Truly, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you." (John 21:15b)
This is a humble answer.
Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” (John 21:15b)
Humility comes before honor so it doesn't do more harm.
John 21:16-17 NIV
The promise: Jesus will never give up on you.
The principle: humility comes before forgiveness.
1. To receive forgiveness, we have to admit we need it.
2. To receive forgiveness, we have to ask for it.
3. To receive forgiveness, we have to accept it.
Without humility, we're always going to be hungry.
What are you most hungry for and how is a lack of humility keeping your from receiving it?
John 21:18-19 NIV
This is a humble death.

Humility is the key to all the more we're looking for.

Pride thrives on comparison.
