Scripture and questions for study and reflection:

This morning we\\u2019re continuing our sermon series titled \\u201cGame Changers.\\u201d This week we\\u2019ll be sharing about the promises of God that deal with \\u201cHumility.\\u201d Are you clinging to the Scripture texts given each week? Do you recall the Scripture text that offered you the Promise of God from Week 1 and 2? If so, good for you for clinging to the Word of God that will give you the ammunition needed to combat the evil one when he tries to attack you. If you are unable to recall...we encourage you to start right now by memorizing and clinging to God\\u2019s Word.

1. Are you willing to listen to Biblical instruction and correction in regard to \\u201chumility\\u201d? What in your life is competing with obedience to God or the duties He has given you?

2. Read Philippians 2:3. What does this text mean to you? Is there someone in your life you actively consider more important than yourself? How can you seek to humbly show preference to that person over your own desires or wants?

3. Read 1 Peter 5:5-7. What does God require you to do? Share how this passage may or may not pertain to you? What changes might you need to make in your life to please God?

4. Read Ephesians 4:1-3. What is your immediate takeaway from this text? How do you relate to this passage as a Child of God? How does this passage speak of humility?

5. Do you have a personal life lesson that the Lord has shown you about pride? If so will you share it with your group? Did humility play a part in this lesson?

6. What benefits and promises are there to those who walk in humility?

Prayer for the Week:

Good and gracious Lord, we read in Micah 6:8 how you say: \\u201cO people, the LORD has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.\\u201d Lord, help us to hear these words and choose to walk humbly with You. Help us to choose to live by Your Holy Spirit and to follow Your lead. Help us to hear You clearly, for we do not want to walk by pride or self-sufficiency, we want to walk humbly with You. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
