In this powerful message, we explore the vital truth that without abiding in Christ, we can do nothing (John 15:4-5). True humility recognizes our complete dependence on God’s grace and strength, just as Jesus Himself humbled Himself (John 5:19, 30). Discover how biblical heroes of faith like Joseph, David, Moses, and Paul openly acknowledged that their successes were by God’s grace alone — not by their own power. Beware the danger of pride when things go well (Daniel 4:30-32; 2 Chronicles 26:16-21; Acts 12:20-23). Pride blinds us to God’s hand and leads to downfall. Learn why God gifts us abilities (1 Peter 4:10; 1 Timothy 1:12) and how we must steward these gifts with humility, giving Him all the glory (1 Corinthians 3:10; Ephesians 3:7). This message challenges us to live with a humble heart, asking “Who am I?” before God, embracing that all good comes from Him (Romans 7:18; James 4:6).

From Series: "Humility Before Honor"

In this eye-opening series, we dive deep into the spiritual principle found in Proverbs 18:12 — “Before honor comes humility.” God desires to honor, protect, and promote His people, but there's a path we must take to receive it: the path of humility. In this message, we explore the clear connection between humility and honor, and pride and destruction. Humility gives God access to lift you up, protect your life, and pour out His blessings. On the other hand, pride creates a way of living that opens the door for the enemy to steal, kill, and destroy. God has promotion and protection on His mind — but He calls us to walk in humility so we can receive the honor He wants to give.
