Humility ( James 4:6 ) | Dr Tim Hager

This sermon explores the forgotten virtue of humility, contrasting it with pride and hubris that dominate much of modern culture. Through biblical examples like Naaman, Paul, and ultimately Jesus, the message emphasizes that humility positions us to receive God’s grace, align with Christ’s mission, defer personal preferences, and hold our plans loosely in faith. The call is clear: humility is not weakness, but strength rooted in dependence on God—and it's the essential posture for spiritual growth, leadership, and following Jesus daily.

Ultimately, the message urges the church to reclaim honor as a defining trait of Christ-followers, motivated by the example of Jesus, who honored even those who crucified Him.
