We often think in terms of who we are and what we have "in Christ." For instance, Jesus is our Peace, Jesus is our Righteousness and Jesus is our Healer. But Jesus is not our humility! That is something we have to choose. It's an attitude that we put on like a piece of clothing. Of course, Jesus is our example of humility and the One we should pattern our choices after. This week we have a special guest speaker @BranchChurch. Our very own Stephen Eichholtz! Stephen is the Discipleship Pastor and heads up all missions and outreach. He's also my Brother-in-law. He personifies humility. Humility is not thinking less of yourself... it's thinking of yourself less. True worship involves true humility and allows us to walk in the authority of Jesus.

To Walk in Authority is To Walk in Humility
Proverbs 29:23 MSG - Pride lands you flat on your face; humility prepares you for honors.
Proverbs 11:2 NCV- Pride leads only to shame, it is wise to be humble.

Jesus = Humility
Humility is agreeing with what God says about you, your life, your situation.
Ephesians 4:1-3 - God honors the humble.
Philippians 2:1-11 - Humility is not an act or deed, it is a mind-set, an attitude.
True humility is recognizing how important you are to God.
Branch Out
Humility puts you in the shoes of Jesus - walking in His authority.
