sermon - attitude

[Audio] Today, let us take the time to reflect upon the humble and selfless attitude Jesus displayed throughout his earthly ministry. He, being fully God, chose to humble himself by taking on the form of a servant, human in likeness. He allowed himself to be obedient, even to the point of death on the cross. It is through this attitude of self-sacrifice and humility that God exalted him to the highest place. As Christians, we should strive to emulate Jesus' example and strive for unity through a mindset of humility, respect, and sacrificial love. We can do this by cultivating an attitude of servanthood in our everyday lives and relationships..

[Audio] As Christians, our calling is to reflect the humility of Christ. This is exemplified in Philippians 2:6, which says, “Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage.” Jesus voluntarily renounced all power and authority to follow the will of His Father. His call for us to take up our own cross and follow Him (Luke 9:23) is an invitation to surrender our own desires and needs, so that we may be closer to God. As we strive to be more like Jesus, our attitude of humility should be evident in how we interact with each other. We can show kindness and compassion, listen without judgment, and use words of grace instead of criticism. Let us strive to reflect the attitude of humility that Jesus demonstrated in His earthly ministry..

[Audio] Humility is a trait that Jesus Christ displayed which we can strive to imitate in our relationships with one another. We should strive to replicate Jesus' attitude of surrender and servitude, putting other people's needs above our own. The song 'All to Jesus I Surrender' is a reminder of the importance of submission to God and to put our faith in Him in all aspects of life. Through this we can then serve each other in the way that Christ has selflessly served us..

[Audio] Humility is essential to achieving greatness and no one demonstrated it better than Jesus. His actions throughout his life conveyed his total commitment to serve both God and man. He was never scared to interact with people who were disregarded by others. He identified the importance of each individual and honored them with his time and consideration. We can take inspiration from his demonstration of love and service and make an effort to imitate it in our behavior and communication with others. Humility is pointless unless it is coupled with action. Selecting to serve, even when it is not the easiest option, is what makes true humility valuable. Despite having endless power at his disposal, Jesus showed that greatness is acquired through service. We can echo his greatness by helping those around us, offering advice, and generously allocating our time and possessions. Let us try always to imitate his spirit of humility and service..

2. Service to man God has given each and very one abilities and gifts which we are to used to serve each other. In your profession, in your job, in your trade, you are required to serve others. And as you do for others you do for God. Let us therefore make every effort to serve others by serving to the best of our abilities and not doing things for our selfish gains. The bible says that as we do for these once we do it for God..

[Audio] Jesus' selfless act of submitting to death on the cross serves as an example of how we should approach our relationships with one another. He chose to obey God over his own desires despite knowing the pain and suffering it would bring. Similarly, we can demonstrate humility and submission by putting God's will above our own. This could entail obeying Scripture, treating each other with respect, and making sacrifices for the benefit of others. It is vital that we strive to act with the same humility and love Jesus showed us, and take every chance to show love, respect, and kindness to those around us..

[Audio] When faced with greatness, Jesus humbly gave of Himself for the good of others, going so far as to sacrifice His life despite the humiliation He underwent. This self-sacrifice should serve as a reminder of the need to put our own comforts aside and serve one another; we can do this by offering sacrifices of our lips through confession of His name or our bodies as a living sacrifice, as well as expressing our love and sharing with others, showing that our worship of Him is sincere and pleasing to God. These are practical ways to demonstrate our humble dedication to each other..

[Audio] Humility, surrender, servitude, submission and sacrifice are qualities that we should all strive to embody in our lives, using Jesus Christ as an example. We should recognize, understand and prioritize these virtues in our relationships so that we can have confidence in our hearts on judgment day..
