Humility and Obedience

Pastor Bill Bush · Apr 17, 2023

True humility is not thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less — and it is proven by whether you trust God. Both arrogant pride (I know better than God) and insecure pride (I can't do what God asks because I'm not qualified) are forms of self-centeredness that lead to disobedience. The story of David and Goliath shows that God does not ask us to be qualified; He asks us to be obedient, to take what He has given us, and to get into the fight He has called us to — trusting that where He guides, He will provide.

Walking through John 9, Pastor Scott Rogers shows that a genuine encounter with Jesus produces real, visible life change. The man born blind could not explain the theology of his healing, but he could not deny what had happened to him: 'I was blind, but now I see.' The sermon calls followers of Jesus to approach Him with humility and obedience — the same posture the blind man took — and to hold firmly to what they know God has done in their lives, even when they cannot answer every skeptical question about faith.
