As we bring to close this series on humility and begin looking at the practical ways of living humble lives, I wanted to draw our attention back to the passage Brian walked through on Easter. In his letter to the Philippians, Paul calls the Philippian church to have the same mindset as that of Christ Jesus. A mindset of humility.
The post Humility Lived Out appeared first on Foothills Church.
This morning we are going to take a look at the book of James and see how James unpacks the topic of humility and we will see how it plays a role in four specific areas of life. Either we can live in the pride that is so easily cultivated in the world, or we can walk in humility.

The post Humility Practices appeared first on Foothills Church.
Happy Easter everyone! It’s good to be together on this pinnacle event in the Christian faith. If the resurrection did not happen, then the Bible says Christians everywhere are the most foolish people around, and most to be pitied. But the evidence is in friends, and it proves the resurrection did happen. And it changes everything.
The post Easter Service (Qualified By Grace) appeared first on Foothills Church.
The external posture of humility indicates the internal heart’s posture, which is a heart posture that fundamentally lacks awareness. Pride is a confused heart, confused on who is the Creator and who is the created. This confusion comes from a complete lack of self-awareness. Since humility is the antidote to pride, that must mean that humble people are self-aware people.
The post The Characteristics of Humility appeared first on Foothills Church.
It is simply a terrible idea to allow pride to reside and go undisturbed in your life, in your attitudes, and in your style of relating. We have to locate and seek to illuminate pride, as the first step in learning to recognize it in your life. So, I’ve asked you to be making this a matter of prayer. And we’ve been looking at examples in the Bible to help us see it’s destructive, poisonous affects in our lives.
The post Pride Ruins Everything Beautiful appeared first on Foothills Church.
There is such a thing as appropriate pride. To be sure, pride is predominantly condemned in the Bible. However, there are a few instances where pride is used positively. In Deuteronomy 32:29, God is called Israel’s pride. And Israel is referred to as God’s pride and joy in Isaiah 60:15.
Over and over in the Bible, God calls us to rid our lives of pride and all its expressions because it poisons all life and health in our lives. I asked you to make this a matter of prayer and ask God to open your eyes to any petri dishes of pride or expressions of pride in your life or in those around you.

What would you say if I told you there was one sin, one vice that if with God’s help, you could purge out of your life, you could lessen your struggles with every other sin?
What would you say if I told you there was one sin, one vice, that if with God’s help you could purge out of your system, you could improve every relationship in your life?
If you purged this one vice, this one sin out of your life, your gifts, abilities, skills, and efforts would all be enhanced. What would you say?
