Welcome to all from Brown Chapel/Avant, Shiloh and Mt. Pleasant
Prayer: Rev. Pelton
Scripture: 1 Peter 5:6-7 - Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he cares for you.
Text: The Promise of Humility
- God promises to give us peace
- God wants us to claim all of his promises.
- He wants to be strengthened thru time of trouble.
- Some promises from God are unconditional such as in Genesis 12:7 - The Lord appeared to Abram and said, "To your descendants I will give this land."
- Some promises are conditional such as 2 Chronicles 7:14 - if my people, who belong to me, will humble themselves, pray, seek to please me, and repudiate their sinful practices, then I will respond from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.
- Three things that might keep us from being humble: (1) We are impatient. We want it right now. But the bible says in Isaiah 40:31 - But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength. (2) We have a spirit of insecurity. But the bible says in Philippians 4:6 - Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by pray and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. (3) We have an identify crisis. Our thinking is confused. The bible says in Proverbs 16:18 says - Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
