Message: “Humble Yourself Before Our God” from Pastor Fee Soliven

We will need to rely on God’s strength to stand against such evil desires. That strength is available. James offers hope to those who desire friendship with God. God sets himself against the proud because pride makes us self-centered and leads us to conclude that we deserve all we can see, touch, or imagine. It creates greedy appetites for far more than we need. Pride can subtly cause us to no longer see our sins or our need for forgiveness. But humility opens the way for God’s grace to flow into our lives; thus, God shows favor to the humble. Humility is not weakness; instead, it is the only place that believers gain courage to face all their temptations and sins with God’s strength. As God gives us more grace, we realize that this world’s seductive attractions are only cheap substitutes for what God has to offer.
