1. What Humility Is Not:

• What was the first sin that we see in the Bible? Pride

• Isaiah 14:12-15; Proverbs 16:18
• It is pride that will lead you away from God.
• Pride will tell you that you can have it all.

2. What Humility Is:

• Philippians 2:3
• The definition of humility is the quality or state of not thinking you are better than other people.
• John 1:19-28; John 1:29-30
• Humility is understanding our place with others, and our position with God.
• Matthew 8:5-13 
• Meekness is not weakness. Humbleness is knowing your place in God.

• Humility is putting others
• Christlike humility is putting God

3. Jesus’ Humility

• The greatest example of humility was Christ’s death on the cross.
• Philippians 2:5-8; Matthew 16:24; Mark 10:45
