Sometimes people mistake humility for weakness

Sometimes people mistake humility for weakness. Jesus’ life shows us that humility requires great strength and that a humble life reflects God-given courage. Strength and courage come from an unshakeable confidence in God. Knowing who we are in relationship to God frees us to humbly serve God’s purposes with our lives. Does your life reflect Christ-like humility?
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross! Philippians 2:5-7
Prayer: Jesus, I am humbled at Your willingness to become a servant. You know the prideful places in my heart, the places that fight the thought of humbling myself. Thank You that knowing this, You still love me and You forgive me. I humble myself before You today, and ask that Your example of humility would permeate my life today. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Money, money, money

Matt 6:25-33
Don't worry about life, money
Treasures in heaven

Take the plunge, trust
Giving is a heart issue
Don't tip God
Daddy's shovel is bigger than our shovel
You can't out give God

Come and See

When Jesus started calling his disciples in John 2-3 His invitation was simple, "come and see".  This invitation dramatically changed the lives of those who accepted it and in-turn they dramatically changed the world.

Come
Step of faith, leave your current environment, follow me, take that 1st action

See
Come with expectation, not blindly following, see what He will do for you and through you

This is still His invitation to you today, whether for the 1st time or for the 100th time. He is inviting you to Come and See.

Come and See what life is all about
Come and See the blessings He has in store for you
Come and See freedom
Come and See eternity with a God who loves you
