SPL Worship | “The Need for Followership” | September 22, 2024

SPL Worship | “The Need for Followership” | September 22, 2024

Sep 20th, 2024 | By: Pastor Bode

Humility and pride are polar opposites. Pride exalts self at the expense of God and others. Humility exalts God and others at the expense of self. Pride is the essential vice, for it increases one’s hunger for all other sins. Humility increases one’s hunger for the forgiveness and healing found in Christ. The one who is proud demands to be served. The one who is humble is not content unless serving others. St. Augustine described it this way: “It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.” As we see all Christ did to serve us, our hearts melt. Within us grows a Christ-like obsession to serve others, without counting the cost, without any desire to be repaid. Those who are in positions of Christian leadership understand that their purpose is only achieved through service. For followers of Christ are humble servants. Our sermon comes from Mark 9.
