Character - Humility This session will explore embracing humility in our thoughts, actions, and relationships to foster spiritual growth and fulfillment. As we practice humility we grow more like Christ.
What is humility? Jesus’ life was built on humility. He showed how to lead with humility and models it for us as His followers. Humility is submission to God’s authority, guidance, and provision. Humility is not seeing oneself as better than others. Humility is valuing others by treating them with respect, prioritizing their needs, and both learning from, and serving, them.
What are the characteristics of humility? Submission to God’s will. Servant-heartedness. Compassion for others.
How do we develop humility? Practicing spiritual disciplines will grow our humility, through Bible study, prayer, worship, and repentant living. Seek God and His ways. Practice self-reflection and seek feedback from other trusted people. Serve others who can never pay us back, especially the least and the lost.
