From God's Encouraging Word Sunday 8/22/10 Thirteenth Sunday After Pentecost
Scripture Readings: Proverbs 25:2-10; Hebrews 13:1-17; Luke 14:1-14 Serving Like Jesus with Humility
The amazing revelation of God in the Bible is that He came to serve His own creation. He did this through the sending of His Son, Jesus to serve by forgiving sins based on His death as the price to forgive sins and His resurrection as the proof that He has all authority in heaven and in earth. In Luke 14 Jesus demonstrates His humble service in healing a man. He then called His followers to humility by telling us to take the low place not the place of status and position and let God exalt you. Finally He points out that it is His presence in us along with the indwelling Holy Spirit that empowers us to live a life of service in humility. Listen to the whole message under "church" and "sermon audio".
Have a great week in Christ; Pastor Rich
