Humility

Is faith a gift or a choice? Is it something God does in us or something we do for God? The answer is, “Yes!” Faith is a mixture of all that and more. It’s a partnership with God as we enter into relationship for our good and the good of the community and the world around us. We have the choice every day to live by our faith, to be shaped by our faith, and to submit all our actions and relationships to the measure of faith. In this worship series, we’ll examine what it means to be people who choose faith.

Verse 13 of Luke 18 says “But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven but was beating his breast and saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’”

Humility grounded in faith, firm on the foundation of Christ, is humility that no longer needs to prove itself. We stand secure in the truth that even when we miss the mark, we are loved by God. We practice our witness to the world as we worship “under our roof and beyond our walls” in humble faith.
