Honoring Humility (5 of 5)
Series: A Life that Honors God

Introduction: Humility. What comes to your mind when you hear the word ''humility?'' Humble. When you say, ''So and so is really a humble person,'' what do you mean?

A. Our natural tendency is toward a ''self'' that is rooted in sin and a sinful ego
1. We were - by nature - born into this world rebellious, stubborn and self-willed. We were sinners at birth.
2. We lean toward selfishness, self-protection and self- ...
