The Race to Look, Act and Think Like Jesus!

Hebrews 12:1-4

The Finish Line: Jesus! Philippians 2:1-13

• The Attitude of the Selfless! We Help!
• The Attitude of the Servant! We Serve! John 13:1-13

• The Attitude of the Humble! We Obey!

Humility’s Opposite: Pride!

Through Pride

• We Lose all Reason! Daniel 4:28-37
• We Forget God! Deuteronomy 8:11-17
• We Lose Perspective on the Temporal!
• We Give Glory to Self!

Humility! The Beginning of Everything Good!

• Of Faith and Salvation: Luke 19:9-14
• Of Grace! James 4:5-10

Grace: That which affords joy, pleasure, delight, sweetness, loveliness! It’s the merciful Kindness by which God exerting His Holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in Christian faith, knowledge, affection and kindles them to the exercise of the Christian virtues!

Titus 2:11-13

For the Grace of God has appeared bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness, and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age! Looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus!
The Humility of Jesus! 1 Peter 2:20-25

The Race: Laying Aside Every Sin and Encumbrance, Fix Your Eyes On Jesus, Run With Endurance!

Colossians 3:1 – The How!

• Set Your Eyes On Jesus!
• Take Off the Things That Aren’t Christ’s
• Put On the Things Of Christ!
