This week we begin with a look at Humility, which is also sometimes translated as Lowliness. It’s been said that humility is shy, because as soon as it is brought up, it’s nowhere to be found. Humility was not a positive attribute in the Roman world that Paul wrote into. In fact, it was despised. The idea that people would choose a posture that would honor others above their position, station, or rank was ridiculous. While our culture looks for at least a veneer of humility, pride still reigns in human hearts. This Sunday we will explore what humility is. If it’s not mere self-deprecation or sadness, then how do we define it, and why is it so important?
