00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.240
 Good morning.

00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:15.759
 As we begin, I want to pray.

00:00:16.420 --> 00:00:18.620
 I want to ask you to pray with me.

00:00:18.620 --> 00:00:18.679
 Amen.

00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:34.079
 Lord, we come before you this morning in desperate need of you to help us.

00:00:36.780 --> 00:00:43.600
 Because even as we have sung and prayed just now that you would speak to us,

00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:52.240
 Lord, we need your help because in our natural selves we do not want to hear from you.

00:00:53.060 --> 00:00:55.560
 We do not seek to hear from you.

00:00:56.140 --> 00:01:04.659
 Lord, how often we desire to go our own way and to think our own thoughts

00:01:04.659 --> 00:01:08.740
 rather than hear your word speak to us.

00:01:08.739 --> 00:01:14.879
 I pray this morning that your Holy Spirit would have mercy upon us.

00:01:16.299 --> 00:01:20.699
 Lord, that we would sit together under your word and that you would teach us.

00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:23.519
 Lord, I pray this morning.

00:01:24.659 --> 00:01:28.159
 Lord, who is worthy to preach of these things?

00:01:29.459 --> 00:01:34.519
 I pray, Lord, that you, Lord, would work through me this morning,

00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:42.859
 that my words would be fitting, useful in your hands for all of our good,

00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:47.619
 that we may know more of your greatness.

00:01:50.479 --> 00:01:53.299
 Lord, we pray these things in Jesus' name.

00:01:54.259 --> 00:01:54.599
 Amen.

00:01:54.599 --> 00:02:03.479
 Tim Keller, in his masterful short book,

00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:08.659
 The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness, writes this.

00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:10.699
 Up until the 20th century,

00:02:11.259 --> 00:02:15.959
 traditional cultures have always believed that too high a view of yourself

00:02:15.959 --> 00:02:19.919
 was the root cause of all evil in the world.

00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:23.419
 And he goes on to point out that exalted self-regard

00:02:23.419 --> 00:02:28.419
 has been typically seen as the root of most crime,

00:02:28.819 --> 00:02:32.139
 violence, abuse, cruelty, and just plain bad things.

00:02:33.139 --> 00:02:34.259
 He goes on to say,

00:02:34.339 --> 00:02:38.019
 Traditionally, the answer for why these things happened was hubris,

00:02:38.539 --> 00:02:43.560
 the Greek word meaning pride or too high a view of yourself.

00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:47.759
 Traditionally, that was the reason why people misbehave.

00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:50.840
 Tim Keller goes on in this little book,

00:02:50.959 --> 00:02:52.099
 let me recommend it to you,

00:02:52.179 --> 00:02:53.620
 The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness.

00:02:53.799 --> 00:02:55.679
 It's downstairs on the bookstall.

00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:57.799
 He goes on then to say,

00:02:57.899 --> 00:02:59.259
 In our modern Western culture,

00:02:59.399 --> 00:03:02.319
 we have shifted to a different way of thinking,

00:03:02.819 --> 00:03:05.419
 that it is not a too high view of ourselves,

00:03:05.519 --> 00:03:07.759
 but in fact, too low of a self-regard,

00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:10.359
 or as it's commonly stated,

00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:12.019
 a lack of self-esteem

00:03:12.019 --> 00:03:14.899
 that has caused people to misbehave.

00:03:14.900 --> 00:03:16.780
 So he goes on,

00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:18.140
 and here he says this,

00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:19.099
 For example,

00:03:19.260 --> 00:03:21.700
 the reason husbands beat their wives,

00:03:21.760 --> 00:03:23.259
 and the reason people are criminals,

00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:25.879
 is they have too low a view of themselves,

00:03:26.060 --> 00:03:28.300
 that we have too little self-esteem.

00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:30.980
 He goes on in the book to say

00:03:30.980 --> 00:03:33.020
 that there's actually been some research done,

00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:36.500
 because much of the restorative work

00:03:36.500 --> 00:03:38.640
 that's trying to be done in prisons and schools

00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:39.379
 and other places

00:03:39.379 --> 00:03:41.659
 is based on this view of self-esteem.

00:03:41.659 --> 00:03:43.299
 And in fact,

00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:45.280
 the scientific studies have shown

00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:49.719
 that these approaches have not been successful

00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:53.319
 in transforming people.

00:03:54.819 --> 00:03:56.800
 Keller concludes by saying,

00:03:57.479 --> 00:03:59.400
 Perhaps the modern Western culture

00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:01.039
 has more to learn

00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:03.259
 from the traditional understanding

00:04:03.259 --> 00:04:04.859
 of where the root

00:04:04.859 --> 00:04:07.259
 of the problems that we face

00:04:07.259 --> 00:04:09.659
 in our own lives and in our world come from.

00:04:09.659 --> 00:04:12.960
 What does the Bible say about this?

00:04:14.139 --> 00:04:17.300
 How do we understand pride and humility

00:04:17.300 --> 00:04:19.680
 from a biblical standpoint?

00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:20.939
 Particularly today,

00:04:21.060 --> 00:04:23.300
 as we continue in our series of Proverbs,

00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.279
 we're looking at the second big chunk of the book

00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:27.379
 from 10 to 31.

00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:31.199
 We're looking at topics.

00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:33.959
 We're looking at collections of Proverbs

00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:35.579
 that help us understand a little bit

00:04:35.579 --> 00:04:36.819
 about the way of wisdom.

00:04:36.819 --> 00:04:38.319
 And so,

00:04:38.459 --> 00:04:40.319
 I want to point out as we continue

00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:41.800
 that in your bulletin,

00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:43.620
 right after the order of service,

00:04:43.939 --> 00:04:45.379
 there's a sermon supplement

00:04:45.379 --> 00:04:46.740
 that has many

00:04:46.740 --> 00:04:49.219
 and maybe even a few extra Proverbs

00:04:49.219 --> 00:04:52.120
 regarding the topic of wisdom,

00:04:52.540 --> 00:04:54.439
 the topic of pride and humility.

00:04:55.899 --> 00:04:57.079
 And so,

00:04:57.319 --> 00:04:58.759
 I point you to that

00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:00.240
 rather than furtively

00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:02.319
 and furiously trying to flip around

00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:02.860
 in your Bible

00:05:02.860 --> 00:05:04.420
 from passage to passage.

00:05:04.420 --> 00:05:05.240
 If you look at that,

00:05:05.300 --> 00:05:07.160
 that will help you follow along

00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:08.939
 as we look this morning.

00:05:09.960 --> 00:05:10.699
 This morning,

00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:12.100
 we're simply going to explore

00:05:12.100 --> 00:05:13.939
 these two concepts in sequence,

00:05:14.500 --> 00:05:15.720
 pride and humility.

00:05:15.900 --> 00:05:17.300
 What does Proverbs say about it?

00:05:17.640 --> 00:05:19.819
 How do we understand it in our own lives?

00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:21.900
 And what do we do about it?

00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:22.340
 So,

00:05:22.819 --> 00:05:25.160
 let's look at these things in order.

00:05:25.300 --> 00:05:26.080
 First of all,

00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:27.139
 pride.

00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:28.120
 What is it?

00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:29.520
 If you look it up in a definition,

00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:31.160
 in a dictionary,

00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:33.400
 you might read something like this.

00:05:33.960 --> 00:05:35.840
 Pride is pleasure or satisfaction

00:05:35.840 --> 00:05:37.439
 in one's own accomplishments

00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:40.360
 or of those closely related to you.

00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:40.560
 So,

00:05:40.620 --> 00:05:42.660
 you might be proud of your family

00:05:42.660 --> 00:05:44.720
 or proud of your associations,

00:05:44.940 --> 00:05:45.900
 proud of your country.

00:05:47.140 --> 00:05:48.660
 It might also mean

00:05:48.660 --> 00:05:50.760
 an excessively high view

00:05:50.760 --> 00:05:51.940
 of oneself.

00:05:53.100 --> 00:05:53.940
 And this is true,

00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:54.320
 isn't it?

00:05:54.320 --> 00:05:55.540
 When we use the word pride

00:05:55.540 --> 00:05:56.420
 as we talk about,

00:05:56.540 --> 00:05:57.500
 there are times when pride

00:05:57.500 --> 00:05:58.360
 can be positive.

00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:00.060
 You can take pride

00:06:00.060 --> 00:06:00.960
 in an accomplishment

00:06:00.960 --> 00:06:02.340
 of a job well done.

00:06:02.620 --> 00:06:03.580
 You could take pride

00:06:03.580 --> 00:06:04.699
 that you have been recognized

00:06:04.699 --> 00:06:05.780
 for your hard work

00:06:05.780 --> 00:06:07.259
 and gotten a promotion.

00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:09.439
 It could also have

00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:10.220
 a proper sense

00:06:10.220 --> 00:06:11.240
 of human dignity

00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:13.960
 that an athlete,

00:06:14.220 --> 00:06:15.560
 having laid it all out

00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:16.720
 on the field,

00:06:17.460 --> 00:06:18.860
 though he may not have won,

00:06:18.960 --> 00:06:20.120
 he could carry his head

00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:21.860
 off the field with pride

00:06:21.860 --> 00:06:24.020
 because he has fought well

00:06:24.020 --> 00:06:26.080
 and played well to the end.

00:06:26.980 --> 00:06:28.160
 There's a sense of dignity

00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:29.480
 that can come from it.

00:06:29.840 --> 00:06:30.820
 And all of these things

00:06:30.820 --> 00:06:31.580
 are good things

00:06:31.580 --> 00:06:32.920
 because they recognize

00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:34.540
 that God-given goodness

00:06:34.540 --> 00:06:37.120
 and celebrate them.

00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:39.560
 But interestingly,

00:06:39.939 --> 00:06:41.320
 when you come to the Bible,

00:06:41.940 --> 00:06:44.020
 it doesn't use these words

00:06:44.020 --> 00:06:45.080
 in these ways.

00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:47.300
 It is pretty uniform

00:06:47.300 --> 00:06:50.520
 that the Bible uses pride

00:06:50.520 --> 00:06:52.320
 as a negative term.

00:06:53.860 --> 00:06:54.480
 Specifically,

00:06:54.760 --> 00:06:56.400
 that it talks about

00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:58.139
 how quickly and how often

00:06:58.139 --> 00:06:59.439
 we make ourselves

00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:01.560
 the center of our universe,

00:07:01.779 --> 00:07:03.779
 how quickly we arrogantly

00:07:03.779 --> 00:07:05.060
 exalt ourselves

00:07:05.060 --> 00:07:06.819
 above the people around us,

00:07:07.019 --> 00:07:08.279
 wanting desperately

00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:09.639
 for their praise

00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:11.139
 and affirmation,

00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:14.339
 and how we seek glory,

00:07:14.620 --> 00:07:17.139
 not because of God-given goodness,

00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:18.579
 but for ourselves,

00:07:18.899 --> 00:07:20.599
 that we might be seen

00:07:20.599 --> 00:07:21.259
 as glorious.

00:07:21.259 --> 00:07:22.599
 And so,

00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:23.959
 Proverbs says things

00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:25.079
 like this.

00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:29.219
 Proverbs 16, 5,

00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:30.539
 Everyone who is arrogant

00:07:30.539 --> 00:07:31.319
 in heart

00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:32.539
 is an abomination

00:07:32.539 --> 00:07:33.439
 to the Lord.

00:07:33.539 --> 00:07:33.980
 Be assured,

00:07:34.060 --> 00:07:35.439
 he will not go unpunished.

00:07:35.860 --> 00:07:37.680
 Or Proverbs 21, 24,

00:07:37.899 --> 00:07:39.180
 Scoffer is the name

00:07:39.180 --> 00:07:40.039
 of the arrogant,

00:07:40.620 --> 00:07:41.439
 haughty man

00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:42.339
 who acts

00:07:42.339 --> 00:07:44.079
 with arrogant pride.

00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:46.159
 Here we see

00:07:46.159 --> 00:07:47.759
 the way the Proverbs

00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:48.759
 refer and use

00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:49.539
 the word pride

00:07:49.539 --> 00:07:52.819
 in all negative connotations.

00:07:54.699 --> 00:07:55.659
 And interestingly,

00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:56.779
 if you shift over

00:07:56.779 --> 00:07:57.579
 to the New Testament,

00:07:57.759 --> 00:07:58.699
 though you will also see

00:07:58.699 --> 00:08:00.420
 pride well scattered

00:08:00.420 --> 00:08:01.480
 throughout the writings,

00:08:01.719 --> 00:08:03.779
 one of the other concepts,

00:08:04.180 --> 00:08:05.300
 categories for you

00:08:05.300 --> 00:08:05.939
 to look for

00:08:05.939 --> 00:08:07.039
 as you read particularly

00:08:07.039 --> 00:08:08.560
 the Pauline epistles

00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:10.219
 is the idea of boasting.

00:08:10.719 --> 00:08:12.019
 For Paul brings in

00:08:12.019 --> 00:08:13.240
 this idea of boasting

00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:15.659
 as a recognition of pride

00:08:15.660 --> 00:08:17.200
 and how easily

00:08:17.200 --> 00:08:19.820
 we in boastful spirits

00:08:19.820 --> 00:08:21.320
 exalt ourselves.

00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:24.640
 How do we understand then

00:08:24.640 --> 00:08:26.080
 if this is what pride is,

00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:27.020
 where does it come from?

00:08:27.140 --> 00:08:28.320
 Why do we do this?

00:08:29.020 --> 00:08:29.400
 Well,

00:08:29.660 --> 00:08:30.520
 it comes from

00:08:30.520 --> 00:08:31.879
 the very, very root.

00:08:33.040 --> 00:08:34.019
 It comes from

00:08:34.019 --> 00:08:34.940
 our relationship

00:08:34.940 --> 00:08:35.660
 to God

00:08:35.660 --> 00:08:36.480
 and to others

00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:37.320
 and self.

00:08:38.300 --> 00:08:39.740
 We've talked about this

00:08:39.740 --> 00:08:41.040
 as we've gone on

00:08:41.040 --> 00:08:41.620
 about wisdom.

00:08:41.779 --> 00:08:42.519
 What is the way

00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:43.000
 of wisdom

00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:43.700
 that Proverbs

00:08:43.700 --> 00:08:45.600
 is encouraging us to do?

00:08:45.659 --> 00:08:47.919
 It's living in light

00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:49.860
 of God's created order

00:08:49.860 --> 00:08:50.799
 and it's living

00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:52.159
 along the grain

00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:53.860
 of how God created us

00:08:53.860 --> 00:08:55.620
 and what He created us for.

00:08:56.379 --> 00:08:57.899
 And as we walk in wisdom,

00:08:58.179 --> 00:08:59.620
 we do those things.

00:09:01.100 --> 00:09:03.159
 And pride is in fact

00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:04.819
 the opposite of that.

00:09:05.379 --> 00:09:06.799
 Pride is cutting across

00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:07.439
 the grain

00:09:07.439 --> 00:09:08.899
 at every turn

00:09:08.899 --> 00:09:11.299
 of God's plan for us.

00:09:11.860 --> 00:09:13.220
 Because in relationship

00:09:13.220 --> 00:09:14.040
 to God,

00:09:14.040 --> 00:09:15.580
 we want to make God

00:09:15.580 --> 00:09:16.860
 smaller and ourselves

00:09:16.860 --> 00:09:17.340
 bigger.

00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:18.899
 We want God

00:09:18.899 --> 00:09:20.360
 to serve our needs

00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:21.340
 rather than

00:09:21.340 --> 00:09:22.360
 our serving

00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:23.139
 Him

00:09:23.139 --> 00:09:24.540
 in His glory.

00:09:25.340 --> 00:09:26.180
 We want,

00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:27.879
 in fact,

00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:29.240
 as James prayed earlier,

00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:30.500
 to usurp Him

00:09:30.500 --> 00:09:32.680
 and to take His place.

00:09:33.379 --> 00:09:34.340
 Is this not

00:09:34.340 --> 00:09:35.279
 the very story

00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:35.899
 of the Bible

00:09:35.899 --> 00:09:37.180
 that we read?

00:09:37.300 --> 00:09:38.820
 From the very beginning,

00:09:38.820 --> 00:09:40.800
 what happened

00:09:40.800 --> 00:09:42.640
 in the Garden of Eden

00:09:42.640 --> 00:09:44.040
 in chapter 3?

00:09:47.280 --> 00:09:48.080
 Adam and Eve

00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:48.900
 lived in a place

00:09:48.900 --> 00:09:49.400
 where they were

00:09:49.400 --> 00:09:50.700
 perfectly provided for

00:09:50.700 --> 00:09:51.620
 in every way.

00:09:52.560 --> 00:09:52.860
 And yet,

00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:53.800
 the tempter came

00:09:53.800 --> 00:09:54.400
 and said,

00:09:54.520 --> 00:09:55.840
 is it really good enough?

00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:58.020
 Do you think God

00:09:58.020 --> 00:09:59.280
 is really being

00:09:59.280 --> 00:10:00.620
 all good to you?

00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:02.780
 Maybe He's holding back.

00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:04.079
 Why did He say

00:10:04.079 --> 00:10:05.279
 don't eat that fruit?

00:10:07.419 --> 00:10:08.759
 You could be like God,

00:10:08.819 --> 00:10:09.199
 you know.

00:10:13.299 --> 00:10:14.639
 And they took the bait.

00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:17.679
 And they disobeyed.

00:10:18.419 --> 00:10:19.679
 But even more than that,

00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:20.439
 what they did

00:10:20.439 --> 00:10:22.079
 is they decentered God

00:10:22.079 --> 00:10:22.919
 from the universe

00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:23.899
 that they lived in.

00:10:24.079 --> 00:10:25.240
 And they put themselves

00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:26.000
 in their place.

00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:27.220
 They aspired

00:10:27.220 --> 00:10:28.199
 and grasped

00:10:28.199 --> 00:10:30.319
 to be like God

00:10:30.319 --> 00:10:31.039
 themselves.

00:10:31.379 --> 00:10:32.299
 And in doing so,

00:10:32.299 --> 00:10:33.879
 shattered the fabric

00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:35.240
 of the created order.

00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:37.919
 And friends,

00:10:38.019 --> 00:10:38.620
 this has been

00:10:38.620 --> 00:10:39.439
 the human heart

00:10:39.439 --> 00:10:40.299
 ever since.

00:10:42.019 --> 00:10:43.559
 From the very beginning,

00:10:43.740 --> 00:10:44.759
 we are like this.

00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:48.419
 If you've ever had

00:10:48.419 --> 00:10:49.399
 a one-year-old

00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:50.439
 and a two-year-old,

00:10:50.539 --> 00:10:51.099
 you know

00:10:51.099 --> 00:10:52.799
 that they come out

00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:53.659
 ready to be

00:10:53.659 --> 00:10:54.879
 the center of the universe.

00:10:55.459 --> 00:10:56.439
 And they are ready

00:10:56.439 --> 00:10:57.299
 to get you

00:10:57.299 --> 00:10:58.019
 wrapped around

00:10:58.019 --> 00:10:59.719
 their finger

00:10:59.719 --> 00:11:00.459
 so that you

00:11:00.459 --> 00:11:01.539
 will serve them.

00:11:02.299 --> 00:11:04.120
 And the challenge

00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:05.339
 of the terrible twos

00:11:05.339 --> 00:11:07.199
 is a wonderful

00:11:07.199 --> 00:11:08.639
 and glorious

00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:10.099
 and heartbreaking

00:11:10.099 --> 00:11:12.099
 and exhausting job

00:11:12.099 --> 00:11:13.399
 of trying to help them

00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:14.359
 see that that's not

00:11:14.359 --> 00:11:15.359
 actually a good thing

00:11:15.359 --> 00:11:16.000
 for them

00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.000
 to be in the center

00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:18.799
 of their world.

00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:26.859
 because if you've seen

00:11:26.859 --> 00:11:27.779
 people as they

00:11:27.779 --> 00:11:28.620
 make themselves

00:11:28.620 --> 00:11:29.579
 the center of the world,

00:11:30.059 --> 00:11:31.459
 as you see the

00:11:31.459 --> 00:11:33.000
 dynamics of your own heart

00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:34.379
 as you strive

00:11:34.379 --> 00:11:35.179
 to do this,

00:11:35.479 --> 00:11:36.479
 it doesn't just affect

00:11:36.479 --> 00:11:37.019
 our relationship

00:11:37.019 --> 00:11:37.500
 with God,

00:11:37.579 --> 00:11:37.899
 does it?

00:11:37.899 --> 00:11:39.000
 It reflects our relationship

00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:39.719
 with others.

00:11:40.379 --> 00:11:41.399
 If we're the center

00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:41.959
 of the world,

00:11:42.059 --> 00:11:43.019
 then others are

00:11:43.019 --> 00:11:44.699
 there to serve us,

00:11:44.899 --> 00:11:46.559
 to do whatever

00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:47.399
 we need

00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:48.319
 in order for us

00:11:48.319 --> 00:11:49.299
 to feel good,

00:11:49.459 --> 00:11:50.579
 to feel affirmed,

00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:51.759
 to be glorified,

00:11:51.959 --> 00:11:54.299
 to be recognized.

00:11:55.299 --> 00:11:55.739
 And so,

00:11:55.859 --> 00:11:56.719
 in our relationships,

00:11:56.939 --> 00:11:58.059
 we use other people.

00:11:58.419 --> 00:11:58.759
 Sometimes,

00:11:59.019 --> 00:11:59.819
 as we've talked about

00:11:59.819 --> 00:12:00.779
 earlier in this series,

00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:01.739
 we look down

00:12:01.739 --> 00:12:02.559
 on people

00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:03.559
 so that we might

00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:04.819
 exalt ourselves.

00:12:04.820 --> 00:12:11.420
 we even do it

00:12:11.420 --> 00:12:12.180
 with ourselves.

00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:13.740
 Our relationship

00:12:13.740 --> 00:12:14.460
 to ourself

00:12:14.460 --> 00:12:15.080
 is broken

00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:15.840
 as we try

00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:16.540
 to take on

00:12:16.540 --> 00:12:18.180
 this arrogant

00:12:18.180 --> 00:12:20.440
 perfectionism.

00:12:20.700 --> 00:12:21.879
 It drives us

00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:22.440
 to deny

00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:22.940
 that we have

00:12:22.940 --> 00:12:23.640
 any faults.

00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:25.520
 It causes us

00:12:25.520 --> 00:12:26.500
 to focus

00:12:26.500 --> 00:12:27.960
 only on our strengths

00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:29.620
 and in doing so,

00:12:29.780 --> 00:12:30.480
 make us

00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:31.600
 disconnected

00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:32.460
 with who we

00:12:32.460 --> 00:12:33.240
 really are.

00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:39.399
 this impulse

00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:39.919
 of pride

00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:40.680
 is so

00:12:40.680 --> 00:12:41.960
 central to us

00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:42.840
 that it is

00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:43.379
 impossible

00:12:43.379 --> 00:12:44.000
 for us

00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:44.560
 to imagine

00:12:44.560 --> 00:12:45.200
 ourselves

00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:46.639
 without at least

00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:47.480
 this temptation.

00:12:49.379 --> 00:12:50.259
 Let me just

00:12:50.259 --> 00:12:50.860
 ask a couple

00:12:50.860 --> 00:12:51.379
 of questions

00:12:51.379 --> 00:12:51.840
 for you

00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:52.519
 to think about.

00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:54.639
 Have you ever

00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:55.360
 lost

00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:57.019
 an argument

00:12:57.019 --> 00:12:57.580
 that you've

00:12:57.580 --> 00:12:58.139
 replayed

00:12:58.139 --> 00:12:58.700
 in your mind

00:12:58.700 --> 00:12:59.200
 with someone?

00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:05.899
 have you ever

00:13:05.899 --> 00:13:07.039
 walked into a room

00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:08.820
 and sized up

00:13:08.820 --> 00:13:11.299
 everyone in the room

00:13:11.299 --> 00:13:12.460
 where you stand

00:13:12.460 --> 00:13:13.539
 in the pecking order?

00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:15.039
 Who's better than you?

00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:16.019
 Who's worse than you?

00:13:17.820 --> 00:13:18.680
 Who am I going to

00:13:18.680 --> 00:13:19.419
 spend time with

00:13:19.419 --> 00:13:20.180
 for my good?

00:13:21.779 --> 00:13:22.940
 Have you ever

00:13:22.940 --> 00:13:24.039
 found yourself

00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:24.720
 defensive

00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:25.480
 when someone

00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:26.100
 questioned

00:13:26.100 --> 00:13:26.940
 your actions

00:13:26.940 --> 00:13:27.860
 or your motive?

00:13:32.900 --> 00:13:33.660
 How do you

00:13:33.660 --> 00:13:34.180
 respond

00:13:34.180 --> 00:13:35.260
 when you've

00:13:35.260 --> 00:13:35.820
 been passed

00:13:35.820 --> 00:13:36.220
 over

00:13:36.220 --> 00:13:37.340
 for recognition

00:13:37.340 --> 00:13:38.860
 or promotion

00:13:38.860 --> 00:13:39.640
 that you think

00:13:39.640 --> 00:13:40.360
 you've deserved?

00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:44.360
 So just some

00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:44.720
 questions

00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:45.159
 for you

00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:45.700
 to ask

00:13:45.700 --> 00:13:46.820
 maybe to help

00:13:46.820 --> 00:13:48.060
 you see

00:13:48.060 --> 00:13:48.960
 in yourself

00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:50.980
 the impulse

00:13:50.980 --> 00:13:51.620
 of pride.

00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:52.879
 So what does

00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:53.480
 it look like?

00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:54.100
 If that's the

00:13:54.100 --> 00:13:54.680
 source of it

00:13:54.680 --> 00:13:55.259
 what does it

00:13:55.259 --> 00:13:55.700
 look like?

00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:56.500
 Proverbs helps

00:13:56.500 --> 00:13:57.220
 us a little bit

00:13:57.220 --> 00:13:59.200
 more concretely

00:13:59.200 --> 00:13:59.800
 with this.

00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:01.139
 There are a number

00:14:01.139 --> 00:14:01.980
 of different things.

00:14:02.500 --> 00:14:03.300
 First of all

00:14:03.300 --> 00:14:04.080
 one of the things

00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:05.159
 that's most clear

00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:05.899
 in the Proverbs

00:14:05.899 --> 00:14:07.220
 is that pride

00:14:07.220 --> 00:14:08.620
 shows itself

00:14:08.620 --> 00:14:09.580
 in those

00:14:09.580 --> 00:14:10.560
 who are wise

00:14:10.560 --> 00:14:11.360
 in their own

00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:12.000
 eyes

00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:13.920
 and unwilling

00:14:13.920 --> 00:14:14.759
 to receive

00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:15.300
 correction

00:14:15.300 --> 00:14:16.220
 from others.

00:14:16.940 --> 00:14:17.440
 And so

00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:18.480
 Proverbs

00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:19.820
 26 12

00:14:19.820 --> 00:14:20.160
 says

00:14:20.160 --> 00:14:20.600
 do you see

00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:20.940
 a man

00:14:20.940 --> 00:14:21.560
 who is wise

00:14:21.560 --> 00:14:22.040
 in his own

00:14:22.040 --> 00:14:22.480
 eyes?

00:14:22.940 --> 00:14:23.620
 There is more

00:14:23.620 --> 00:14:24.500
 hope for a fool

00:14:24.500 --> 00:14:25.560
 than him.

00:14:27.160 --> 00:14:27.840
 And perhaps

00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:28.360
 one of the most

00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:29.180
 famous sections

00:14:29.180 --> 00:14:29.960
 in Proverbs

00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:31.440
 3 5

00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:32.139
 through 7

00:14:32.139 --> 00:14:33.720
 trust in the

00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:34.280
 Lord with all

00:14:34.280 --> 00:14:34.860
 your heart

00:14:34.860 --> 00:14:36.120
 and do not

00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:36.820
 lean on your

00:14:36.820 --> 00:14:38.020
 own understanding

00:14:38.020 --> 00:14:39.240
 in all your

00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:39.520
 ways

00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:40.340
 acknowledge him

00:14:40.340 --> 00:14:40.899
 and he will

00:14:40.899 --> 00:14:41.419
 make straight

00:14:41.419 --> 00:14:42.100
 your paths.

00:14:42.699 --> 00:14:43.860
 Be not wise

00:14:43.860 --> 00:14:44.740
 in your own

00:14:44.740 --> 00:14:45.360
 eyes.

00:14:45.980 --> 00:14:46.679
 Fear the

00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:47.240
 Lord and

00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:47.919
 turn away

00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:48.799
 from evil.

00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:51.720
 We talked

00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:52.220
 about this

00:14:52.220 --> 00:14:52.699
 back in

00:14:52.699 --> 00:14:53.439
 late June

00:14:53.439 --> 00:14:53.759
 when we

00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:54.399
 talked about

00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:55.919
 words of

00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:56.340
 correction.

00:14:56.699 --> 00:14:57.039
 You can go

00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:57.319
 back.

00:14:57.379 --> 00:14:57.699
 It's on the

00:14:57.699 --> 00:14:58.319
 website if you

00:14:58.319 --> 00:14:59.319
 want to hear

00:14:59.319 --> 00:14:59.539
 it.

00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:00.439
 But here we

00:15:00.439 --> 00:15:01.079
 see one of

00:15:01.079 --> 00:15:01.439
 the root

00:15:01.439 --> 00:15:01.980
 issues.

00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:03.319
 Pride is

00:15:03.319 --> 00:15:03.840
 one of the

00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:04.699
 things that

00:15:04.699 --> 00:15:05.500
 makes us

00:15:05.500 --> 00:15:06.879
 unable or

00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:07.480
 unwilling

00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:09.080
 to receive

00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:09.600
 correction.

00:15:10.019 --> 00:15:10.259
 And in

00:15:10.259 --> 00:15:10.659
 fact it's

00:15:10.659 --> 00:15:11.080
 one of the

00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:11.460
 great

00:15:11.460 --> 00:15:12.180
 symptoms

00:15:12.180 --> 00:15:13.460
 or signals

00:15:13.460 --> 00:15:13.940
 of how

00:15:13.940 --> 00:15:14.560
 great our

00:15:14.560 --> 00:15:15.580
 pride is.

00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:16.759
 We don't

00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:18.340
 want other

00:15:18.340 --> 00:15:19.000
 people to

00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:19.480
 tell us

00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:19.980
 what to

00:15:19.980 --> 00:15:20.320
 do.

00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:21.259
 We don't

00:15:21.259 --> 00:15:21.960
 want other

00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:22.519
 people to

00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:23.019
 tell us

00:15:23.019 --> 00:15:23.580
 when we're

00:15:23.580 --> 00:15:24.080
 wrong.

00:15:24.500 --> 00:15:25.019
 We don't

00:15:25.019 --> 00:15:25.639
 want other

00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:26.340
 people to

00:15:26.340 --> 00:15:27.120
 question us

00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:27.820
 or correct

00:15:27.820 --> 00:15:28.399
 us.

00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:32.720
 Proverbs

00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:33.600
 says this

00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:35.220
 runs from

00:15:35.220 --> 00:15:35.740
 this root

00:15:35.740 --> 00:15:36.300
 of pride

00:15:36.300 --> 00:15:36.860
 where we

00:15:36.860 --> 00:15:37.240
 are in

00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:37.639
 the center

00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:37.920
 of the

00:15:37.920 --> 00:15:38.379
 universe.

00:15:38.580 --> 00:15:39.120
 If we

00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:39.779
 recognize

00:15:39.779 --> 00:15:40.519
 that God

00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:41.200
 is the

00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:41.600
 creator

00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:41.980
 and we

00:15:41.980 --> 00:15:42.460
 are simply

00:15:42.460 --> 00:15:43.180
 a creation,

00:15:43.460 --> 00:15:43.840
 if we

00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:44.519
 recognized

00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:45.220
 our human

00:15:45.220 --> 00:15:45.980
 frailty

00:15:45.980 --> 00:15:46.800
 and weakness,

00:15:46.980 --> 00:15:47.759
 it wouldn't

00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:48.420
 be very

00:15:48.420 --> 00:15:49.100
 hard for

00:15:49.100 --> 00:15:49.460
 us to

00:15:49.460 --> 00:15:49.700
 say,

00:15:50.060 --> 00:15:50.320
 I don't

00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:50.560
 know

00:15:50.560 --> 00:15:51.000
 everything.

00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:51.639
 I'm

00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:52.160
 not right

00:15:52.160 --> 00:15:52.540
 all the

00:15:52.540 --> 00:15:52.899
 time.

00:15:53.180 --> 00:15:53.519
 Please

00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:54.300
 help me.

00:15:54.800 --> 00:15:55.120
 Please

00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:55.620
 help me

00:15:55.620 --> 00:15:56.139
 to know

00:15:56.139 --> 00:15:56.480
 how to

00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:56.660
 do

00:15:56.660 --> 00:15:56.980
 things

00:15:56.980 --> 00:15:57.379
 better.

00:16:00.040 --> 00:16:00.820
 But we

00:16:00.820 --> 00:16:01.139
 don't,

00:16:01.259 --> 00:16:01.560
 do we?

00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:02.679
 It's

00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:02.919
 so

00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:03.419
 difficult.

00:16:06.500 --> 00:16:07.059
 It

00:16:07.059 --> 00:16:07.519
 makes us

00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:08.139
 unable to

00:16:08.139 --> 00:16:08.699
 acknowledge

00:16:08.699 --> 00:16:09.199
 or honor

00:16:09.199 --> 00:16:09.679
 God,

00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:10.519
 and it

00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:11.339
 shuts us

00:16:11.339 --> 00:16:11.779
 off from

00:16:11.779 --> 00:16:12.279
 being able

00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:12.759
 to hear

00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:13.399
 from others.

00:16:14.439 --> 00:16:14.799
 Another

00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:15.179
 thing that

00:16:15.179 --> 00:16:15.599
 Proverbs

00:16:15.599 --> 00:16:16.279
 points out

00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:16.819
 that uses

00:16:16.819 --> 00:16:17.459
 the word,

00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:19.139
 one of the

00:16:19.139 --> 00:16:20.079
 expressions of

00:16:20.079 --> 00:16:20.859
 pride is

00:16:20.859 --> 00:16:21.459
 arrogance

00:16:21.459 --> 00:16:22.739
 or haughtiness,

00:16:23.539 --> 00:16:24.419
 thinking better

00:16:24.419 --> 00:16:25.099
 of ourselves

00:16:25.099 --> 00:16:25.879
 than others

00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:26.319
 and being

00:16:26.319 --> 00:16:27.059
 full of

00:16:27.059 --> 00:16:27.559
 ourselves.

00:16:28.219 --> 00:16:28.579
 So,

00:16:28.699 --> 00:16:29.239
 in Proverbs

00:16:29.239 --> 00:16:29.779
 16,

00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:30.419
 17,

00:16:30.419 --> 00:16:32.360
 or 16,

00:16:32.479 --> 00:16:32.839
 16,

00:16:32.939 --> 00:16:33.179
 there are

00:16:33.179 --> 00:16:33.839
 six things

00:16:33.839 --> 00:16:34.179
 that the

00:16:34.179 --> 00:16:34.719
 Lord hates

00:16:34.719 --> 00:16:35.279
 and seven

00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:35.919
 things,

00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:36.919
 seven that

00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:37.199
 are an

00:16:37.199 --> 00:16:37.759
 abomination

00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:38.399
 to Him.

00:16:38.740 --> 00:16:39.019
 And He

00:16:39.019 --> 00:16:39.860
 starts the

00:16:39.860 --> 00:16:40.399
 list with

00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:40.779
 this,

00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:41.599
 haughty

00:16:41.599 --> 00:16:42.299
 eyes,

00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:43.240
 a lying

00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:43.679
 tongue,

00:16:43.779 --> 00:16:44.199
 and hands

00:16:44.199 --> 00:16:44.639
 that shed

00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:45.159
 innocent

00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:45.539
 blood.

00:16:45.659 --> 00:16:46.159
 And He

00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:46.519
 goes on,

00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:46.799
 you can

00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:47.139
 read the

00:16:47.139 --> 00:16:47.519
 rest of

00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:48.559
 the verses,

00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:49.399
 but what I

00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:49.719
 wanted you

00:16:49.719 --> 00:16:50.120
 to see is

00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:50.399
 at the

00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:51.120
 very top

00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:51.459
 of His

00:16:51.459 --> 00:16:52.120
 list there,

00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:53.339
 what does

00:16:53.339 --> 00:16:53.759
 the Lord

00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:54.419
 detest?

00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:55.539
 A haughty

00:16:55.539 --> 00:16:56.799
 eyes.

00:16:57.919 --> 00:16:58.259
 When you

00:16:58.259 --> 00:16:58.539
 look at

00:16:58.539 --> 00:16:59.000
 that word,

00:16:59.059 --> 00:16:59.299
 what it

00:16:59.299 --> 00:16:59.740
 means is

00:16:59.740 --> 00:17:00.060
 to be

00:17:00.060 --> 00:17:00.500
 full of

00:17:00.500 --> 00:17:00.759
 self,

00:17:00.820 --> 00:17:01.100
 to be

00:17:01.100 --> 00:17:01.899
 inflated

00:17:01.899 --> 00:17:02.159
 of

00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:03.159
 self-worth,

00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:06.240
 how often

00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:06.620
 do we

00:17:06.620 --> 00:17:07.120
 dismiss

00:17:07.120 --> 00:17:07.620
 people

00:17:07.620 --> 00:17:07.920
 because

00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:08.160
 they

00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:08.500
 don't

00:17:08.500 --> 00:17:08.759
 meet

00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:08.980
 our

00:17:08.980 --> 00:17:09.519
 standards?

00:17:12.259 --> 00:17:12.759
 Maybe

00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:13.279
 they're not

00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:13.839
 as smart

00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:14.240
 as we

00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:14.519
 are.

00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:15.680
 Maybe

00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:16.079
 they're not

00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:16.819
 as clean

00:17:16.819 --> 00:17:17.299
 as we

00:17:17.299 --> 00:17:17.599
 are.

00:17:18.660 --> 00:17:19.140
 Maybe

00:17:19.140 --> 00:17:19.539
 they aren't

00:17:19.539 --> 00:17:20.339
 as cool

00:17:20.339 --> 00:17:21.480
 or as

00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:21.920
 hip

00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:23.120
 or as

00:17:23.120 --> 00:17:23.660
 with it

00:17:23.660 --> 00:17:24.420
 or whatever

00:17:24.420 --> 00:17:24.819
 the word

00:17:24.819 --> 00:17:25.460
 is nowadays.

00:17:25.980 --> 00:17:26.200
 Eli,

00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:26.620
 help me

00:17:26.620 --> 00:17:26.799
 here.

00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:27.659
 whatever

00:17:27.659 --> 00:17:28.799
 it is

00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:29.220
 in junior

00:17:29.220 --> 00:17:29.480
 high

00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:29.799
 and high

00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:30.159
 school

00:17:30.159 --> 00:17:30.960
 about

00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:31.259
 being

00:17:31.259 --> 00:17:31.579
 in

00:17:31.579 --> 00:17:31.700
 or

00:17:31.700 --> 00:17:31.899
 being

00:17:31.899 --> 00:17:32.399
 out.

00:17:35.619 --> 00:17:36.139
 It's

00:17:36.139 --> 00:17:36.680
 the same

00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:37.240
 impulse

00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:38.399
 that drives

00:17:38.399 --> 00:17:38.980
 us towards

00:17:38.980 --> 00:17:39.859
 tribalism.

00:17:40.299 --> 00:17:40.659
 Who are

00:17:40.659 --> 00:17:41.339
 my people

00:17:41.339 --> 00:17:42.419
 defined by

00:17:42.419 --> 00:17:42.839
 who are

00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:43.399
 not my

00:17:43.399 --> 00:17:43.799
 people?

00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:46.240
 Friends,

00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:46.740
 it's at the

00:17:46.740 --> 00:17:47.200
 root of our

00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:47.659
 racism.

00:17:47.980 --> 00:17:48.500
 When we

00:17:48.500 --> 00:17:48.899
 look at

00:17:48.899 --> 00:17:49.559
 other people

00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:49.980
 and we

00:17:49.980 --> 00:17:50.639
 judge them

00:17:50.639 --> 00:17:51.419
 because of

00:17:51.420 --> 00:17:51.820
 the color

00:17:51.820 --> 00:17:52.220
 of their

00:17:52.220 --> 00:17:52.720
 skin,

00:17:54.560 --> 00:17:56.140
 haughty

00:17:56.140 --> 00:17:56.640
 eyes

00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:57.060
 and a

00:17:57.060 --> 00:17:57.740
 pride to

00:17:57.740 --> 00:17:58.320
 exalt

00:17:58.320 --> 00:17:59.019
 ourselves

00:17:59.019 --> 00:18:00.259
 by putting

00:18:00.259 --> 00:18:01.140
 other people

00:18:01.140 --> 00:18:01.680
 down.

00:18:03.340 --> 00:18:04.019
 And it

00:18:04.019 --> 00:18:04.320
 is an

00:18:04.320 --> 00:18:04.940
 abomination

00:18:04.940 --> 00:18:05.680
 to the

00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:06.039
 Lord.

00:18:10.980 --> 00:18:11.500
 Proverbs

00:18:11.500 --> 00:18:11.920
 says,

00:18:12.500 --> 00:18:12.900
 not only

00:18:12.900 --> 00:18:13.240
 is it

00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:14.100
 an unwillingness

00:18:14.100 --> 00:18:14.560
 to receive

00:18:14.560 --> 00:18:14.980
 correction,

00:18:15.100 --> 00:18:15.480
 not only

00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:15.800
 is it

00:18:15.800 --> 00:18:16.000
 this

00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:16.580
 arrogant

00:18:16.580 --> 00:18:17.920
 haughtiness,

00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:18.259
 but it

00:18:18.259 --> 00:18:18.720
 is also

00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:19.320
 glory

00:18:19.320 --> 00:18:19.800
 seeking.

00:18:21.420 --> 00:18:22.860
 Pride

00:18:22.860 --> 00:18:23.560
 seeks

00:18:23.560 --> 00:18:24.019
 glory

00:18:24.019 --> 00:18:24.279
 for

00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:24.700
 oneself.

00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:25.080
 So

00:18:25.080 --> 00:18:25.940
 interestingly

00:18:25.940 --> 00:18:26.740
 in

00:18:26.740 --> 00:18:27.180
 Proverbs

00:18:27.180 --> 00:18:27.700
 25,

00:18:27.980 --> 00:18:28.180
 6,

00:18:28.259 --> 00:18:28.600
 and 7,

00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:28.960
 do not

00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:29.539
 put yourself

00:18:29.539 --> 00:18:30.200
 forward in

00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:30.680
 the king's

00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:31.180
 presence

00:18:31.180 --> 00:18:32.279
 or stand

00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:32.580
 in the

00:18:32.580 --> 00:18:33.039
 place of

00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:33.539
 the great.

00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:34.620
 For it

00:18:34.620 --> 00:18:35.240
 is better

00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:35.940
 to be

00:18:35.940 --> 00:18:36.200
 told,

00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:36.700
 come up

00:18:36.700 --> 00:18:37.100
 here,

00:18:37.320 --> 00:18:37.820
 than to

00:18:37.820 --> 00:18:38.180
 be put

00:18:38.180 --> 00:18:38.740
 lower

00:18:38.740 --> 00:18:39.220
 in the

00:18:39.220 --> 00:18:39.560
 presence

00:18:39.560 --> 00:18:39.900
 of a

00:18:39.900 --> 00:18:40.180
 noble.

00:18:41.460 --> 00:18:41.759
 See

00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:42.019
 what he's

00:18:42.019 --> 00:18:42.220
 saying?

00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:42.519
 When you

00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:43.060
 walk in,

00:18:43.140 --> 00:18:43.400
 don't

00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:44.120
 assume

00:18:44.120 --> 00:18:44.800
 in the

00:18:44.800 --> 00:18:45.180
 king's

00:18:45.180 --> 00:18:45.460
 courtyard

00:18:45.460 --> 00:18:45.779
 that

00:18:45.779 --> 00:18:46.060
 you're

00:18:46.060 --> 00:18:46.320
 going to

00:18:46.320 --> 00:18:46.500
 be

00:18:46.500 --> 00:18:47.100
 received

00:18:47.100 --> 00:18:47.640
 like a

00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:48.120
 high,

00:18:48.420 --> 00:18:48.960
 important

00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:49.539
 person.

00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:50.220
 Assume

00:18:50.220 --> 00:18:50.800
 that you

00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:51.700
 are actually

00:18:51.700 --> 00:18:52.480
 a lowly

00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:53.000
 person.

00:18:53.399 --> 00:18:53.919
 If you

00:18:53.919 --> 00:18:54.500
 assume that

00:18:54.500 --> 00:18:54.819
 you're a

00:18:54.819 --> 00:18:55.139
 high and

00:18:55.139 --> 00:18:55.500
 important

00:18:55.500 --> 00:18:56.139
 person and

00:18:56.139 --> 00:18:56.720
 you're not,

00:18:57.279 --> 00:18:57.700
 then you

00:18:57.700 --> 00:18:58.139
 will be

00:18:58.139 --> 00:18:59.700
 shamed when

00:18:59.700 --> 00:19:00.180
 he puts

00:19:00.180 --> 00:19:00.799
 you low.

00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:03.899
 The impulse

00:19:03.899 --> 00:19:04.579
 to want to

00:19:04.579 --> 00:19:05.180
 be seen as

00:19:05.180 --> 00:19:05.539
 a high,

00:19:05.659 --> 00:19:05.960
 important

00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:07.539
 person is

00:19:07.539 --> 00:19:07.859
 what I'm

00:19:07.859 --> 00:19:08.759
 calling glory

00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:09.619
 seeking because

00:19:09.619 --> 00:19:11.139
 the word

00:19:11.139 --> 00:19:12.059
 honor in

00:19:12.059 --> 00:19:12.720
 the Proverbs

00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:13.480
 is related

00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:14.059
 to the

00:19:14.059 --> 00:19:14.740
 concept of

00:19:14.740 --> 00:19:15.240
 glory.

00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:15.299
 glory.

00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:18.660
 And so

00:19:18.660 --> 00:19:19.380
 being

00:19:19.380 --> 00:19:20.799
 honored is

00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:21.620
 actually being

00:19:21.620 --> 00:19:22.799
 given glory.

00:19:23.099 --> 00:19:23.620
 And when

00:19:23.620 --> 00:19:24.319
 God does

00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:24.880
 it to us,

00:19:24.900 --> 00:19:25.339
 it is a

00:19:25.339 --> 00:19:26.120
 wonderful thing

00:19:26.120 --> 00:19:26.660
 and it is a

00:19:26.660 --> 00:19:27.299
 right thing.

00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:27.839
 And there

00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:28.240
 are times

00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:28.680
 when we

00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:29.500
 might rightly

00:19:29.500 --> 00:19:30.099
 give it to

00:19:30.099 --> 00:19:30.740
 one another.

00:19:31.140 --> 00:19:31.759
 I give

00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:32.839
 glory to

00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:33.819
 the elders

00:19:33.819 --> 00:19:34.160
 that I

00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:34.859
 serve with

00:19:34.859 --> 00:19:35.359
 because I'm

00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:36.079
 so thankful

00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:36.680
 for their

00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:37.700
 constant

00:19:37.700 --> 00:19:39.319
 patience and

00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:40.620
 their steadfast

00:19:40.620 --> 00:19:41.380
 love for

00:19:41.380 --> 00:19:42.319
 this congregation.

00:19:42.620 --> 00:19:43.120
 And I may

00:19:43.120 --> 00:19:43.579
 give them

00:19:43.579 --> 00:19:44.079
 glory,

00:19:44.539 --> 00:19:45.139
 but to

00:19:45.139 --> 00:19:46.019
 self-seek

00:19:46.019 --> 00:19:46.220
 it,

00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:46.879
 to put

00:19:46.879 --> 00:19:47.460
 yourself in

00:19:47.460 --> 00:19:47.919
 the position

00:19:47.919 --> 00:19:48.399
 to say,

00:19:48.579 --> 00:19:49.279
 this is what

00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:49.679
 I need,

00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:50.299
 this is what

00:19:50.299 --> 00:19:50.679
 I want,

00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:51.319
 you have to

00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:51.740
 give it to

00:19:51.740 --> 00:19:51.919
 me,

00:19:52.019 --> 00:19:52.779
 to pursue

00:19:52.779 --> 00:19:53.339
 it and to

00:19:53.339 --> 00:19:54.220
 manipulate and

00:19:54.220 --> 00:19:54.980
 to strive

00:19:54.980 --> 00:19:55.639
 for it.

00:19:57.619 --> 00:19:58.139
 Well,

00:19:59.819 --> 00:20:00.159
 Proverbs

00:20:00.159 --> 00:20:00.839
 18.12

00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:01.559
 says this,

00:20:02.419 --> 00:20:03.399
 before destruction

00:20:03.399 --> 00:20:04.639
 a man's heart

00:20:04.639 --> 00:20:05.299
 is haughty,

00:20:05.399 --> 00:20:06.159
 but humility

00:20:06.159 --> 00:20:07.679
 comes before

00:20:07.679 --> 00:20:08.139
 honor.

00:20:10.259 --> 00:20:11.000
 So we

00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:11.559
 see that

00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:13.359
 this pride

00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:15.500
 actually will

00:20:15.500 --> 00:20:15.939
 lead us

00:20:15.939 --> 00:20:16.419
 not to

00:20:16.419 --> 00:20:17.159
 high places

00:20:17.159 --> 00:20:17.799
 but to

00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:18.339
 destruction.

00:20:19.719 --> 00:20:20.359
 It's only

00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:20.939
 in humility

00:20:20.939 --> 00:20:21.500
 that we

00:20:21.500 --> 00:20:22.099
 will actually

00:20:22.099 --> 00:20:22.759
 be able to

00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:23.879
 receive from

00:20:23.879 --> 00:20:24.419
 God and

00:20:24.419 --> 00:20:25.059
 from others

00:20:25.059 --> 00:20:26.179
 glory that

00:20:26.179 --> 00:20:26.619
 might be

00:20:26.619 --> 00:20:27.139
 rightfully

00:20:27.139 --> 00:20:27.679
 ours.

00:20:32.879 --> 00:20:33.619
 Think about

00:20:33.619 --> 00:20:33.939
 when,

00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:34.779
 again,

00:20:34.959 --> 00:20:35.619
 if you have

00:20:35.619 --> 00:20:36.259
 a young

00:20:36.259 --> 00:20:36.699
 one or

00:20:36.699 --> 00:20:37.899
 three-year-old,

00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:38.979
 Daddy,

00:20:39.099 --> 00:20:39.399
 look at

00:20:39.399 --> 00:20:39.599
 me.

00:20:40.579 --> 00:20:40.899
 Daddy,

00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:41.339
 look at

00:20:41.339 --> 00:20:41.579
 me.

00:20:41.579 --> 00:20:42.460
 Maybe

00:20:42.460 --> 00:20:43.059
 I've had

00:20:43.059 --> 00:20:43.439
 my daughter

00:20:43.439 --> 00:20:43.919
 grab my

00:20:43.919 --> 00:20:44.179
 face.

00:20:44.619 --> 00:20:45.000
 Daddy,

00:20:45.220 --> 00:20:45.859
 look at

00:20:45.859 --> 00:20:46.259
 me.

00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:46.899
 Sorry,

00:20:46.980 --> 00:20:47.299
 that didn't

00:20:47.299 --> 00:20:47.619
 work well

00:20:47.619 --> 00:20:47.819
 with the

00:20:47.819 --> 00:20:48.159
 microphone.

00:20:48.299 --> 00:20:48.460
 You know

00:20:48.460 --> 00:20:48.659
 what I'm

00:20:48.659 --> 00:20:48.939
 saying.

00:20:49.399 --> 00:20:49.859
 He takes

00:20:49.859 --> 00:20:51.199
 her face

00:20:51.199 --> 00:20:51.639
 and makes

00:20:51.639 --> 00:20:52.419
 Daddy,

00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:53.059
 look at

00:20:53.059 --> 00:20:53.339
 me.

00:20:53.740 --> 00:20:54.039
 And it

00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:54.399
 may be

00:20:54.399 --> 00:20:54.939
 innocent,

00:20:55.639 --> 00:20:56.220
 an innocent

00:20:56.220 --> 00:20:57.220
 cry for

00:20:57.220 --> 00:20:58.240
 an expression

00:20:58.240 --> 00:20:58.799
 of love

00:20:58.799 --> 00:20:59.379
 and attention

00:20:59.379 --> 00:20:59.779
 in a

00:20:59.779 --> 00:21:00.439
 three-year-old,

00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:01.299
 but how

00:21:01.299 --> 00:21:01.919
 terrible it

00:21:01.919 --> 00:21:02.240
 is when

00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:02.759
 it becomes

00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:03.599
 hardened

00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:04.480
 and codified

00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:05.220
 in our

00:21:05.220 --> 00:21:05.439
 life.

00:21:05.539 --> 00:21:05.879
 Look at

00:21:05.879 --> 00:21:06.019
 me.

00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:06.519
 See how

00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:07.079
 great I

00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:07.419
 am.

00:21:07.420 --> 00:21:09.820
 Let

00:21:09.820 --> 00:21:10.000
 me

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:10.360
 exalt

00:21:10.360 --> 00:21:11.120
 myself.

00:21:12.779 --> 00:21:13.279
 Is

00:21:13.279 --> 00:21:13.660
 this not

00:21:13.660 --> 00:21:14.380
 what drives

00:21:14.380 --> 00:21:14.980
 the pettiness

00:21:14.980 --> 00:21:15.420
 of high

00:21:15.420 --> 00:21:15.640
 school

00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:16.120
 clicks?

00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:17.340
 Is

00:21:17.340 --> 00:21:17.680
 this not

00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:18.300
 what drives

00:21:18.300 --> 00:21:18.960
 the cutthroat

00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:19.779
 competitiveness

00:21:19.779 --> 00:21:20.140
 of the

00:21:20.140 --> 00:21:20.600
 workplace?

00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:22.779
 Or

00:21:22.779 --> 00:21:24.340
 the

00:21:24.340 --> 00:21:24.660
 Pinterest

00:21:24.660 --> 00:21:25.420
 posting

00:21:25.420 --> 00:21:25.759
 of a

00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:26.039
 perfect

00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:26.539
 life?

00:21:27.900 --> 00:21:28.400
 Are

00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:28.860
 not all

00:21:28.860 --> 00:21:29.180
 these

00:21:29.180 --> 00:21:29.600
 seeking

00:21:29.600 --> 00:21:30.220
 glory

00:21:30.220 --> 00:21:31.180
 for

00:21:31.180 --> 00:21:31.960
 ourselves?

00:21:31.960 --> 00:21:34.620
 Friends,

00:21:34.700 --> 00:21:35.000
 it even

00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:36.240
 can be

00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:37.059
 at work

00:21:37.059 --> 00:21:37.420
 here in

00:21:37.420 --> 00:21:37.559
 our

00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:38.000
 church.

00:21:39.180 --> 00:21:39.900
 We can

00:21:39.900 --> 00:21:40.180
 use

00:21:40.180 --> 00:21:40.759
 spiritual

00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:41.220
 things

00:21:41.220 --> 00:21:41.720
 to seek

00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:41.960
 glory.

00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:42.259
 Look

00:21:42.259 --> 00:21:42.539
 what a

00:21:42.539 --> 00:21:42.799
 great

00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:43.200
 servant

00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:43.579
 I

00:21:43.579 --> 00:21:43.980
 am.

00:21:44.220 --> 00:21:44.500
 Look

00:21:44.500 --> 00:21:44.840
 at how

00:21:44.840 --> 00:21:45.319
 faithful

00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:45.680
 I

00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:45.980
 am.

00:21:46.340 --> 00:21:46.539
 Look

00:21:46.539 --> 00:21:47.019
 at how

00:21:47.019 --> 00:21:47.660
 prominent

00:21:47.660 --> 00:21:47.980
 I

00:21:47.980 --> 00:21:48.220
 am.

00:21:48.299 --> 00:21:48.420
 Look

00:21:48.420 --> 00:21:48.700
 at all

00:21:48.700 --> 00:21:48.900
 the

00:21:48.900 --> 00:21:49.380
 skills

00:21:49.380 --> 00:21:49.660
 that

00:21:49.660 --> 00:21:49.940
 I

00:21:49.940 --> 00:21:50.640
 have.

00:21:54.680 --> 00:21:55.140
 And

00:21:55.140 --> 00:21:55.240
 the

00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:55.440
 hard

00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:55.640
 thing

00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:55.779
 is

00:21:55.779 --> 00:21:55.900
 that

00:21:55.900 --> 00:21:56.140
 all

00:21:56.140 --> 00:21:56.279
 of

00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:56.460
 those

00:21:56.460 --> 00:21:56.680
 things

00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:56.940
 may

00:21:56.940 --> 00:21:57.100
 be

00:21:57.100 --> 00:21:57.539
 true.

00:21:58.240 --> 00:21:58.319
 And

00:21:58.319 --> 00:21:58.440
 in

00:21:58.440 --> 00:21:58.559
 the

00:21:58.559 --> 00:21:59.759
 life

00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:00.059
 of a

00:22:00.059 --> 00:22:00.319
 humble

00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:00.819
 person,

00:22:00.980 --> 00:22:01.079
 they

00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:01.360
 are a

00:22:01.360 --> 00:22:01.779
 blessing.

00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:02.500
 to

00:22:02.500 --> 00:22:02.660
 our

00:22:02.660 --> 00:22:03.259
 congregation.

00:22:03.779 --> 00:22:04.340
 When

00:22:04.340 --> 00:22:04.460
 you

00:22:04.460 --> 00:22:04.680
 have

00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:05.039
 gifts

00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:05.299
 and

00:22:05.299 --> 00:22:05.759
 service

00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:06.000
 and

00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:06.539
 dedication

00:22:06.539 --> 00:22:06.860
 and

00:22:06.860 --> 00:22:07.240
 devotion

00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:07.519
 and

00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:07.880
 time

00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:08.059
 and

00:22:08.059 --> 00:22:08.600
 all

00:22:08.600 --> 00:22:08.759
 of

00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:09.000
 those

00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:09.519
 things.

00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:11.720
 But

00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:11.860
 you

00:22:11.860 --> 00:22:12.039
 see

00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:12.240
 how

00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:12.740
 quickly

00:22:12.740 --> 00:22:13.000
 they

00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:13.220
 get

00:22:13.220 --> 00:22:13.740
 twisted

00:22:13.740 --> 00:22:14.380
 and

00:22:14.380 --> 00:22:14.740
 none

00:22:14.740 --> 00:22:14.940
 of

00:22:14.940 --> 00:22:15.120
 them

00:22:15.120 --> 00:22:15.500
 become

00:22:15.500 --> 00:22:15.860
 true

00:22:15.860 --> 00:22:16.279
 blessings

00:22:16.279 --> 00:22:16.579
 for

00:22:16.579 --> 00:22:16.779
 the

00:22:16.779 --> 00:22:17.160
 church

00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:18.279
 when

00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:18.440
 the

00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:18.680
 heart

00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:18.799
 of

00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:18.920
 it

00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:19.120
 is

00:22:19.120 --> 00:22:19.559
 glory

00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:19.980
 seeking.

00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:20.819
 When

00:22:20.819 --> 00:22:20.960
 it's

00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:21.140
 all

00:22:21.140 --> 00:22:21.440
 about

00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:21.779
 me.

00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:22.279
 Look

00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:22.420
 at

00:22:22.420 --> 00:22:22.700
 me.

00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:23.819
 What

00:22:23.819 --> 00:22:23.940
 a

00:22:23.940 --> 00:22:24.160
 great

00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:24.500
 servant

00:22:24.500 --> 00:22:24.779
 I

00:22:24.779 --> 00:22:25.079
 am.

00:22:25.340 --> 00:22:25.440
 What

00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:25.539
 a

00:22:25.539 --> 00:22:25.720
 great

00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:26.100
 Christian

00:22:26.100 --> 00:22:26.460
 I

00:22:26.460 --> 00:22:26.819
 am.

00:22:30.059 --> 00:22:30.579
 Interesting

00:22:30.579 --> 00:22:30.980
 how

00:22:30.980 --> 00:22:31.600
 Jesus

00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:32.059
 pointed

00:22:32.059 --> 00:22:32.359
 this

00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:32.659
 out.

00:22:34.139 --> 00:22:34.719
 He

00:22:34.719 --> 00:22:35.039
 called

00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:35.219
 it

00:22:35.219 --> 00:22:35.719
 the

00:22:35.719 --> 00:22:36.119
 men

00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:37.099
 who

00:22:37.099 --> 00:22:37.579
 serve

00:22:37.579 --> 00:22:37.959
 who

00:22:37.959 --> 00:22:39.179
 do

00:22:39.179 --> 00:22:39.579
 things

00:22:39.579 --> 00:22:39.939
 to be

00:22:39.939 --> 00:22:40.379
 seen

00:22:40.379 --> 00:22:40.639
 by

00:22:40.639 --> 00:22:40.959
 other

00:22:40.959 --> 00:22:41.299
 men.

00:22:42.639 --> 00:22:43.219
 Think

00:22:43.219 --> 00:22:43.439
 about

00:22:43.439 --> 00:22:43.639
 the

00:22:43.639 --> 00:22:44.039
 parable

00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:44.339
 of the

00:22:44.339 --> 00:22:44.699
 Pharisee

00:22:44.700 --> 00:22:44.940
 and the

00:22:44.940 --> 00:22:45.220
 tax

00:22:45.220 --> 00:22:45.660
 collector

00:22:45.660 --> 00:22:46.500
 who

00:22:46.500 --> 00:22:46.840
 prayed

00:22:46.840 --> 00:22:47.319
 I

00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:47.720
 thank

00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:47.920
 you

00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:48.319
 God

00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:48.519
 that

00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:48.720
 I'm

00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:49.039
 not

00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:49.340
 like

00:22:49.340 --> 00:22:49.700
 other

00:22:49.700 --> 00:22:50.080
 men.

00:22:54.080 --> 00:22:54.700
 In

00:22:54.700 --> 00:22:55.140
 his

00:22:55.140 --> 00:22:56.000
 righteousness

00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:57.000
 his

00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:57.440
 self

00:22:57.440 --> 00:22:57.799
 righteous

00:22:57.799 --> 00:22:58.480
 service

00:22:58.480 --> 00:22:59.180
 he

00:22:59.180 --> 00:22:59.640
 exalted

00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:00.340
 himself.

00:23:02.120 --> 00:23:02.759
 So

00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:03.279
 Proverbs

00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:03.940
 points to

00:23:03.940 --> 00:23:04.220
 these

00:23:04.220 --> 00:23:04.620
 things.

00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:05.420
 Friends

00:23:05.420 --> 00:23:05.799
 I just

00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:06.220
 want to

00:23:06.220 --> 00:23:06.759
 tell you

00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:08.140
 that

00:23:08.140 --> 00:23:08.620
 Proverbs

00:23:08.620 --> 00:23:09.120
 could go

00:23:09.120 --> 00:23:09.640
 on for

00:23:09.640 --> 00:23:10.140
 a thousand

00:23:10.140 --> 00:23:10.700
 chapters

00:23:10.700 --> 00:23:11.360
 about

00:23:11.360 --> 00:23:11.640
 how

00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:12.160
 pride

00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:13.440
 produces

00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:15.080
 sin

00:23:15.080 --> 00:23:15.480
 and

00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:16.039
 ugliness

00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:16.480
 in our

00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:16.840
 lives.

00:23:17.019 --> 00:23:17.420
 Think about

00:23:17.420 --> 00:23:17.940
 let me just

00:23:17.940 --> 00:23:18.620
 run through

00:23:18.620 --> 00:23:19.180
 quickly.

00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:20.360
 Our

00:23:20.360 --> 00:23:21.059
 envy is

00:23:21.059 --> 00:23:21.420
 driven

00:23:21.420 --> 00:23:22.240
 by pride

00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:22.740
 because

00:23:22.740 --> 00:23:23.600
 I deserve

00:23:23.600 --> 00:23:24.080
 what they

00:23:24.080 --> 00:23:24.539
 have.

00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:25.940
 Self

00:23:25.940 --> 00:23:26.259
 pity

00:23:26.259 --> 00:23:26.779
 is driven

00:23:26.779 --> 00:23:27.400
 by pride

00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:27.779
 because

00:23:27.779 --> 00:23:28.700
 I deserve

00:23:28.700 --> 00:23:29.259
 better than

00:23:29.259 --> 00:23:29.620
 this.

00:23:30.460 --> 00:23:30.900
 Anger

00:23:30.900 --> 00:23:31.519
 is driven

00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:32.120
 by pride

00:23:32.120 --> 00:23:32.420
 because

00:23:32.420 --> 00:23:33.200
 my will

00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:33.980
 is thwarted

00:23:33.980 --> 00:23:34.319
 and I

00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:34.660
 am not

00:23:34.660 --> 00:23:35.000
 being

00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:35.580
 rightfully

00:23:35.580 --> 00:23:36.360
 acknowledged.

00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:37.299
 A

00:23:37.299 --> 00:23:37.599
 critical

00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:38.139
 spirit

00:23:38.139 --> 00:23:39.039
 is driven

00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:39.839
 by pride

00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:40.579
 when we

00:23:40.579 --> 00:23:40.899
 look at

00:23:40.899 --> 00:23:41.179
 others

00:23:41.179 --> 00:23:41.639
 and say

00:23:41.639 --> 00:23:42.000
 you're

00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:42.419
 not good

00:23:42.419 --> 00:23:42.679
 enough

00:23:42.679 --> 00:23:43.139
 for me.

00:23:43.399 --> 00:23:43.639
 You're

00:23:43.639 --> 00:23:43.819
 not

00:23:43.819 --> 00:23:44.079
 meeting

00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:44.359
 my

00:23:44.359 --> 00:23:44.979
 standards.

00:23:45.539 --> 00:23:46.059
 Defensiveness

00:23:46.059 --> 00:23:46.599
 is driven

00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:47.359
 by pride

00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:48.279
 when you

00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:48.759
 say I

00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:49.019
 couldn't

00:23:49.019 --> 00:23:49.339
 have done

00:23:49.339 --> 00:23:49.719
 something

00:23:49.719 --> 00:23:50.139
 wrong.

00:23:50.639 --> 00:23:51.099
 Arrogance

00:23:51.099 --> 00:23:51.539
 is driven

00:23:51.539 --> 00:23:52.359
 by pride

00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:53.000
 when you

00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:53.339
 look at

00:23:53.339 --> 00:23:53.619
 another

00:23:53.619 --> 00:23:54.099
 person

00:23:54.099 --> 00:23:54.359
 and say

00:23:54.359 --> 00:23:54.679
 you are

00:23:54.679 --> 00:23:55.039
 beneath

00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:55.279
 me

00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:55.399
 and

00:23:55.399 --> 00:23:56.000
 unworthy

00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:56.500
 of my

00:23:56.500 --> 00:23:56.819
 time

00:23:56.819 --> 00:23:56.939
 and

00:23:56.939 --> 00:23:57.439
 attention.

00:23:59.299 --> 00:23:59.939
 Competition

00:23:59.939 --> 00:24:01.719
 drives

00:24:01.719 --> 00:24:02.179
 us at

00:24:02.179 --> 00:24:02.939
 times to

00:24:02.939 --> 00:24:03.299
 some of

00:24:03.299 --> 00:24:03.639
 the most

00:24:03.639 --> 00:24:04.439
 unspeakable

00:24:04.439 --> 00:24:04.899
 evils.

00:24:05.299 --> 00:24:05.459
 I

00:24:05.459 --> 00:24:05.659
 will

00:24:05.660 --> 00:24:06.140
 go and

00:24:06.140 --> 00:24:06.400
 take

00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:06.640
 from

00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:06.800
 you

00:24:06.800 --> 00:24:07.019
 what

00:24:07.019 --> 00:24:07.180
 you

00:24:07.180 --> 00:24:07.500
 have

00:24:07.500 --> 00:24:07.840
 not

00:24:07.840 --> 00:24:08.180
 because

00:24:08.180 --> 00:24:08.380
 I

00:24:08.380 --> 00:24:08.680
 want

00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:08.820
 it

00:24:08.820 --> 00:24:08.980
 but

00:24:08.980 --> 00:24:09.440
 simply

00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:09.960
 so

00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:10.120
 that

00:24:10.120 --> 00:24:10.320
 I

00:24:10.320 --> 00:24:10.500
 can

00:24:10.500 --> 00:24:10.860
 prove

00:24:10.860 --> 00:24:11.040
 that

00:24:11.040 --> 00:24:11.259
 I

00:24:11.259 --> 00:24:11.420
 can

00:24:11.420 --> 00:24:11.680
 take

00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:11.800
 it

00:24:11.800 --> 00:24:12.060
 from

00:24:12.060 --> 00:24:12.340
 you.

00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:16.560
 Self-centeredness

00:24:16.560 --> 00:24:17.779
 is driven

00:24:17.779 --> 00:24:18.440
 by pride.

00:24:18.560 --> 00:24:18.940
 Isn't it

00:24:18.940 --> 00:24:19.519
 all about

00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:19.820
 me?

00:24:21.360 --> 00:24:22.580
 Self-reliance

00:24:22.580 --> 00:24:23.100
 is driven

00:24:23.100 --> 00:24:23.840
 by pride.

00:24:23.980 --> 00:24:24.340
 I can

00:24:24.340 --> 00:24:24.600
 do it

00:24:24.600 --> 00:24:25.040
 myself.

00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:25.560
 I don't

00:24:25.560 --> 00:24:25.840
 need

00:24:25.840 --> 00:24:26.080
 you.

00:24:27.580 --> 00:24:28.880
 Self-abasement

00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:29.960
 is driven

00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:30.960
 by pride.

00:24:32.220 --> 00:24:33.100
 When I

00:24:33.100 --> 00:24:33.680
 think I'm

00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:34.200
 terrible

00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:35.100
 and lowly

00:24:35.099 --> 00:24:36.480
 and worse

00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:37.919
 than anything

00:24:37.919 --> 00:24:39.179
 it is because

00:24:39.179 --> 00:24:40.199
 I believe

00:24:40.199 --> 00:24:40.579
 that I

00:24:40.579 --> 00:24:41.119
 ought to

00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:41.639
 be something

00:24:41.639 --> 00:24:42.399
 good that

00:24:42.399 --> 00:24:42.980
 I'm not

00:24:42.980 --> 00:24:43.579
 and I

00:24:43.579 --> 00:24:45.199
 can't be

00:24:45.199 --> 00:24:45.740
 there and

00:24:45.740 --> 00:24:46.199
 so I

00:24:46.199 --> 00:24:47.299
 judge myself

00:24:47.299 --> 00:24:47.879
 in such

00:24:47.879 --> 00:24:48.459
 a way

00:24:48.459 --> 00:24:50.159
 that crushes

00:24:50.159 --> 00:24:50.459
 me.

00:24:51.299 --> 00:24:52.159
 That's not

00:24:52.159 --> 00:24:52.679
 humility.

00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:53.139
 We'll get

00:24:53.139 --> 00:24:53.559
 there in a

00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:53.740
 minute.

00:24:54.579 --> 00:24:55.119
 That's

00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:55.619
 actually

00:24:55.619 --> 00:24:56.199
 pride

00:24:56.199 --> 00:24:57.399
 in a

00:24:57.399 --> 00:24:57.879
 converse

00:24:57.879 --> 00:24:58.299
 form.

00:24:58.299 --> 00:25:04.099
 Friends,

00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:04.599
 pride is

00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:05.079
 a universal

00:25:05.079 --> 00:25:05.680
 problem.

00:25:06.099 --> 00:25:06.399
 Let me

00:25:06.399 --> 00:25:06.899
 just speak

00:25:06.899 --> 00:25:07.480
 to two

00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:08.799
 forms in

00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:09.000
 our

00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:09.460
 particular

00:25:09.460 --> 00:25:10.000
 context

00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:10.319
 here.

00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:12.359
 Many

00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:12.819
 of you,

00:25:13.599 --> 00:25:13.859
 at least

00:25:13.859 --> 00:25:14.240
 some of

00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:14.440
 you,

00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:15.039
 are related

00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:15.480
 to that

00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:15.779
 big

00:25:15.779 --> 00:25:16.240
 university

00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:16.740
 over there

00:25:16.740 --> 00:25:17.319
 with a

00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:17.899
 worldwide

00:25:17.899 --> 00:25:18.940
 name,

00:25:19.099 --> 00:25:19.299
 right?

00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:19.980
 Yale.

00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:21.220
 You're

00:25:21.220 --> 00:25:21.519
 connected

00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:21.940
 to Yale

00:25:21.940 --> 00:25:22.379
 and it's

00:25:22.379 --> 00:25:22.680
 a big

00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:23.019
 deal

00:25:23.019 --> 00:25:23.720
 in the

00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:24.059
 world.

00:25:24.059 --> 00:25:25.539
 And it

00:25:25.539 --> 00:25:26.139
 is so

00:25:26.139 --> 00:25:26.700
 easy

00:25:26.700 --> 00:25:28.319
 to be

00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:29.039
 related to

00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:29.700
 Yale in

00:25:29.700 --> 00:25:30.119
 a way

00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:30.799
 that feeds

00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:31.500
 your pride.

00:25:32.579 --> 00:25:33.179
 If you're

00:25:33.179 --> 00:25:33.599
 an undergrad

00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:33.919
 here,

00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:34.159
 I don't

00:25:34.159 --> 00:25:34.440
 think the

00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:34.819
 undergrads

00:25:34.819 --> 00:25:35.139
 are here

00:25:35.139 --> 00:25:35.379
 yet,

00:25:35.419 --> 00:25:35.859
 not quite,

00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:36.099
 but,

00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:38.799
 you know,

00:25:38.859 --> 00:25:39.259
 they tell

00:25:39.259 --> 00:25:39.519
 them,

00:25:39.659 --> 00:25:39.919
 you're the

00:25:39.919 --> 00:25:40.319
 best and

00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:40.779
 the brightest.

00:25:41.059 --> 00:25:41.279
 You're

00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:41.440
 going to

00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:41.960
 go change

00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:42.460
 the world.

00:25:42.980 --> 00:25:43.379
 It's

00:25:43.379 --> 00:25:43.619
 this

00:25:43.619 --> 00:25:44.440
 indoctrination

00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:44.819
 when they

00:25:44.819 --> 00:25:45.319
 come in.

00:25:46.259 --> 00:25:46.679
 How are

00:25:46.679 --> 00:25:47.039
 you going

00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:47.200
 to be

00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:47.799
 good stewards

00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:48.119
 of your

00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:48.659
 experience

00:25:48.659 --> 00:25:49.179
 at Yale

00:25:49.179 --> 00:25:49.819
 because

00:25:49.819 --> 00:25:51.500
 you are

00:25:51.500 --> 00:25:51.879
 the best

00:25:51.879 --> 00:25:52.179
 and the

00:25:52.179 --> 00:25:52.460
 brightest?

00:25:54.059 --> 00:25:54.679
 And they're

00:25:54.679 --> 00:25:55.619
 fed this

00:25:55.619 --> 00:25:56.240
 over and

00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:56.740
 over and

00:25:56.740 --> 00:25:57.460
 over again.

00:25:58.039 --> 00:25:58.539
 And those

00:25:58.539 --> 00:25:58.960
 of you who

00:25:58.960 --> 00:25:59.319
 are here

00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:00.039
 studying and

00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:00.839
 PhDs and

00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:01.659
 graduate school

00:26:01.659 --> 00:26:02.539
 and even

00:26:02.539 --> 00:26:03.240
 working at

00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:03.399
 it,

00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:04.259
 you have

00:26:04.259 --> 00:26:04.759
 incredible

00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:05.480
 giftings and

00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:06.039
 incredible

00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:07.059
 opportunities and

00:26:07.059 --> 00:26:07.819
 incredible

00:26:07.819 --> 00:26:09.019
 resources.

00:26:10.019 --> 00:26:10.740
 And you

00:26:10.740 --> 00:26:11.299
 should not be

00:26:11.299 --> 00:26:11.919
 ashamed of

00:26:11.919 --> 00:26:12.659
 any of those

00:26:12.659 --> 00:26:13.159
 things.

00:26:13.759 --> 00:26:14.139
 But your

00:26:14.139 --> 00:26:15.179
 danger is,

00:26:15.419 --> 00:26:15.919
 are you

00:26:15.919 --> 00:26:16.899
 allowing it

00:26:16.899 --> 00:26:17.839
 to build

00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:18.519
 your pride?

00:26:18.940 --> 00:26:19.500
 Are you

00:26:19.500 --> 00:26:20.159
 allowing it

00:26:20.159 --> 00:26:20.899
 to shape

00:26:20.899 --> 00:26:21.779
 your relationships

00:26:21.779 --> 00:26:22.480
 with other

00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:22.859
 people?

00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:23.480
 Are you

00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:24.019
 allowing it

00:26:24.019 --> 00:26:24.579
 to shape

00:26:24.579 --> 00:26:25.900
 your values

00:26:25.900 --> 00:26:29.680
 where you

00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:30.299
 end up

00:26:30.299 --> 00:26:31.460
 seeking glory

00:26:31.460 --> 00:26:32.319
 for yourself,

00:26:33.299 --> 00:26:33.519
 being

00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:36.440
 resistant to

00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:36.920
 correction,

00:26:37.539 --> 00:26:38.240
 and being

00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:38.819
 haughty,

00:26:39.000 --> 00:26:39.680
 looking down

00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:40.339
 on others?

00:26:42.099 --> 00:26:42.879
 Paul in

00:26:42.879 --> 00:26:43.519
 1 Corinthians

00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:44.299
 4-7

00:26:44.299 --> 00:26:45.019
 says this,

00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:45.660
 what do you

00:26:45.660 --> 00:26:46.200
 have that

00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:46.619
 you did

00:26:46.619 --> 00:26:47.440
 not receive?

00:26:47.900 --> 00:26:48.559
 And if you

00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:49.200
 received it,

00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:49.940
 why do you

00:26:49.940 --> 00:26:50.660
 boast as if

00:26:50.660 --> 00:26:51.319
 you did not

00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:51.980
 receive it?

00:26:51.980 --> 00:26:52.480
 pride?

00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:56.700
 The other

00:26:56.700 --> 00:26:58.039
 contextual

00:26:58.039 --> 00:26:59.120
 expression of

00:26:59.120 --> 00:27:00.079
 pride is that

00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:01.039
 we're in New

00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:01.319
 England.

00:27:01.900 --> 00:27:02.420
 And I know

00:27:02.420 --> 00:27:02.900
 some of you

00:27:02.900 --> 00:27:03.620
 are transplants

00:27:03.620 --> 00:27:03.940
 and you've

00:27:03.940 --> 00:27:04.240
 come here

00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:04.680
 from other

00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:05.400
 places that

00:27:05.400 --> 00:27:06.059
 may not

00:27:06.059 --> 00:27:06.660
 struggle with

00:27:06.660 --> 00:27:07.160
 this in the

00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:07.700
 same way,

00:27:07.819 --> 00:27:08.360
 but there

00:27:08.360 --> 00:27:09.180
 is a unique

00:27:09.180 --> 00:27:10.120
 kind of New

00:27:10.120 --> 00:27:10.519
 England

00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:12.120
 self-sufficiency.

00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:14.079
 I can do

00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:14.880
 it myself.

00:27:15.259 --> 00:27:16.079
 I don't need

00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:16.740
 others in my

00:27:16.740 --> 00:27:17.120
 business.

00:27:17.119 --> 00:27:17.839
 I don't

00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:18.599
 need community.

00:27:19.239 --> 00:27:20.859
 I am a

00:27:20.859 --> 00:27:21.599
 self-sufficient

00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:22.139
 man.

00:27:23.659 --> 00:27:24.279
 And you

00:27:24.279 --> 00:27:24.619
 need to

00:27:24.619 --> 00:27:25.219
 stay away.

00:27:25.639 --> 00:27:26.139
 Don't butt

00:27:26.139 --> 00:27:26.379
 in.

00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:27.179
 I don't

00:27:27.179 --> 00:27:27.559
 need your

00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:27.939
 ore in

00:27:27.939 --> 00:27:28.459
 my water.

00:27:28.779 --> 00:27:29.219
 Thank you

00:27:29.219 --> 00:27:29.959
 very much.

00:27:31.299 --> 00:27:32.039
 And again,

00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:32.500
 there's a

00:27:32.500 --> 00:27:33.059
 good thing

00:27:33.059 --> 00:27:33.299
 here.

00:27:33.399 --> 00:27:33.759
 There's a

00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:34.759
 resilience and

00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:35.559
 a strength

00:27:35.559 --> 00:27:35.979
 and a

00:27:35.979 --> 00:27:36.639
 perseverance.

00:27:37.159 --> 00:27:37.919
 People who've

00:27:37.919 --> 00:27:38.839
 endured long

00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:39.539
 winters in

00:27:39.539 --> 00:27:40.179
 farming and

00:27:40.179 --> 00:27:41.259
 rocky soil for

00:27:41.259 --> 00:27:44.719
 decades and

00:27:44.719 --> 00:27:45.519
 generations,

00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:45.740
 generations,

00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:47.240
 it's not a

00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:47.599
 bad,

00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:48.839
 there is good

00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:49.379
 to it.

00:27:50.299 --> 00:27:51.220
 But you see

00:27:51.220 --> 00:27:51.839
 the danger.

00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:53.359
 The danger is

00:27:53.359 --> 00:27:54.940
 that you think

00:27:54.940 --> 00:27:55.879
 that you actually

00:27:55.879 --> 00:27:56.440
 can do it

00:27:56.440 --> 00:27:57.079
 yourself and

00:27:57.079 --> 00:27:57.660
 that you don't

00:27:57.660 --> 00:27:58.079
 need other

00:27:58.079 --> 00:27:58.519
 people.

00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:01.680
 In doing so,

00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:02.039
 you have

00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:03.180
 displaced God

00:28:03.180 --> 00:28:04.160
 in your life

00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:04.759
 and said,

00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:06.079
 I don't need

00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:06.740
 God because I

00:28:06.740 --> 00:28:07.240
 can do it on

00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:07.779
 my own.

00:28:09.859 --> 00:28:10.559
 And you've

00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:11.319
 displaced the

00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:12.720
 role that God

00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:13.379
 wants other

00:28:13.379 --> 00:28:14.139
 people to play

00:28:14.139 --> 00:28:14.700
 in your life,

00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:15.500
 particularly in

00:28:15.500 --> 00:28:16.160
 the church.

00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:19.480
 Where you need

00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:20.400
 people to come

00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:21.420
 into your life

00:28:21.420 --> 00:28:22.779
 to love you,

00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:23.880
 to bear your

00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:24.240
 burdens,

00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:25.440
 to speak truth

00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:26.160
 and love to

00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:26.460
 you,

00:28:26.619 --> 00:28:28.079
 to have mercy

00:28:28.079 --> 00:28:28.559
 and show

00:28:28.559 --> 00:28:29.039
 kindness,

00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:30.779
 to encourage

00:28:30.779 --> 00:28:31.460
 you daily,

00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:32.700
 and all the

00:28:32.700 --> 00:28:33.319
 other things

00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:33.740
 that the

00:28:33.740 --> 00:28:34.660
 community of

00:28:34.660 --> 00:28:35.220
 God's people

00:28:35.220 --> 00:28:35.680
 are called

00:28:35.680 --> 00:28:36.019
 to do

00:28:36.019 --> 00:28:36.519
 together.

00:28:39.799 --> 00:28:40.500
 And even

00:28:40.500 --> 00:28:41.119
 outside the

00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:42.119
 walls of this

00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:42.339
 church,

00:28:42.460 --> 00:28:43.240
 to bless our

00:28:43.240 --> 00:28:43.980
 world and our

00:28:43.980 --> 00:28:44.740
 community with

00:28:44.740 --> 00:28:45.539
 these things.

00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:47.059
 And we cut

00:28:47.059 --> 00:28:47.960
 ourselves off

00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:48.579
 from those

00:28:48.579 --> 00:28:49.640
 things and we

00:28:49.640 --> 00:28:50.839
 exalt ourselves

00:28:50.839 --> 00:28:54.059
 to the position

00:28:54.059 --> 00:28:54.579
 that John

00:28:54.579 --> 00:28:55.579
 Dunn referred to

00:28:55.579 --> 00:28:56.140
 when he said,

00:28:56.259 --> 00:28:57.039
 no man is an

00:28:57.039 --> 00:28:57.359
 island,

00:28:57.680 --> 00:28:58.859
 no man stands

00:28:58.859 --> 00:28:59.240
 alone.

00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:00.640
 But we so much

00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:01.319
 want to be,

00:29:01.400 --> 00:29:01.920
 don't we,

00:29:02.759 --> 00:29:03.380
 here in New

00:29:03.380 --> 00:29:03.640
 England?

00:29:04.380 --> 00:29:05.420
 Some of you are

00:29:05.420 --> 00:29:06.079
 like that.

00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:08.259
 And you barely

00:29:08.259 --> 00:29:09.039
 made it here this

00:29:09.039 --> 00:29:09.700
 morning because you're

00:29:09.700 --> 00:29:10.579
 not sure why.

00:29:10.579 --> 00:29:10.659
 pride.

00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:12.099
 Well,

00:29:12.179 --> 00:29:12.559
 friends,

00:29:13.019 --> 00:29:14.960
 we must be

00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:15.559
 careful of

00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:15.879
 this.

00:29:17.639 --> 00:29:18.419
 We must be

00:29:18.419 --> 00:29:18.720
 aware.

00:29:18.859 --> 00:29:19.439
 These are some

00:29:19.439 --> 00:29:20.339
 of the particular

00:29:20.339 --> 00:29:22.179
 societal and

00:29:22.179 --> 00:29:23.199
 cultural expressions

00:29:23.199 --> 00:29:24.639
 of pride that

00:29:24.639 --> 00:29:25.720
 we live around.

00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:27.980
 Friends,

00:29:28.039 --> 00:29:28.419
 we've already

00:29:28.419 --> 00:29:28.759
 read it,

00:29:28.819 --> 00:29:29.220
 but let me

00:29:29.220 --> 00:29:29.779
 remind you

00:29:29.779 --> 00:29:30.279
 again that

00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:31.019
 Proverbs gives

00:29:31.019 --> 00:29:31.679
 this warning,

00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:32.759
 a warning in

00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:33.399
 26,

00:29:33.619 --> 00:29:33.939
 2,

00:29:34.139 --> 00:29:34.639
 that there is

00:29:34.639 --> 00:29:36.119
 no hope for

00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:36.659
 one who is

00:29:36.659 --> 00:29:37.519
 wise in his

00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:38.319
 own eyes.

00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:39.679
 or the

00:29:39.679 --> 00:29:40.439
 famous words

00:29:40.439 --> 00:29:40.839
 that you've

00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:41.659
 heard before,

00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:43.259
 Proverbs 16,

00:29:43.359 --> 00:29:43.619
 18,

00:29:43.740 --> 00:29:44.419
 and 19,

00:29:45.099 --> 00:29:46.240
 pride goes

00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:47.339
 before destruction

00:29:47.339 --> 00:29:48.879
 and a haughty

00:29:48.879 --> 00:29:49.740
 spirit before

00:29:49.740 --> 00:29:50.319
 a fall.

00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:51.720
 It is better

00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:52.339
 to be of a

00:29:52.339 --> 00:29:53.079
 lowly spirit

00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:53.740
 with the poor

00:29:53.740 --> 00:29:54.399
 than divide

00:29:54.399 --> 00:29:55.039
 the spoil

00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:55.980
 with the

00:29:55.980 --> 00:29:56.379
 proud.

00:29:57.899 --> 00:29:58.319
 Do you see

00:29:58.319 --> 00:29:58.619
 what the

00:29:58.619 --> 00:29:59.779
 Proverbs are

00:29:59.779 --> 00:30:00.460
 saying there?

00:30:01.879 --> 00:30:02.839
 What we want

00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:03.559
 so much in our

00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:04.339
 pride is to be

00:30:04.339 --> 00:30:04.980
 lifted up and

00:30:04.980 --> 00:30:05.839
 exalted and to

00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:06.240
 be in this

00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:06.740
 place of

00:30:06.740 --> 00:30:07.399
 prominence.

00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:09.359
 And it is

00:30:09.359 --> 00:30:09.980
 the very

00:30:09.980 --> 00:30:10.639
 essence of

00:30:10.639 --> 00:30:11.639
 foolishness and

00:30:11.639 --> 00:30:12.839
 proverbial foolishness

00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:14.279
 because it does

00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:15.200
 not lead to

00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:16.480
 success in that

00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:17.539
 endeavor, but it

00:30:17.539 --> 00:30:18.079
 leads to

00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:18.639
 destruction.

00:30:21.059 --> 00:30:22.519
 It is better

00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:23.579
 to be poor

00:30:23.579 --> 00:30:24.240
 and humble

00:30:24.240 --> 00:30:26.539
 because even

00:30:26.539 --> 00:30:27.480
 the spoil that

00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:28.119
 we have with

00:30:28.119 --> 00:30:29.220
 the proud in

00:30:29.220 --> 00:30:29.720
 the end will

00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:30.159
 be taken

00:30:30.159 --> 00:30:30.559
 away.

00:30:36.379 --> 00:30:37.480
 We see this

00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:37.799
 throughout

00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:39.240
 scripture, we

00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:39.899
 see this over

00:30:39.899 --> 00:30:40.539
 and over and

00:30:40.539 --> 00:30:41.339
 over again.

00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:45.399
 The pride

00:30:45.399 --> 00:30:45.980
 leads to

00:30:45.980 --> 00:30:46.779
 destruction and

00:30:46.779 --> 00:30:47.220
 a fall.

00:30:48.339 --> 00:30:49.339
 But thankfully,

00:30:50.200 --> 00:30:50.779
 the way of

00:30:50.779 --> 00:30:51.460
 wisdom which

00:30:51.460 --> 00:30:52.680
 exposes this

00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:53.200
 pride as

00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:54.000
 foolishness says

00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:54.659
 there is another

00:30:54.659 --> 00:30:55.000
 way.

00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:56.379
 There is a way

00:30:56.379 --> 00:30:57.000
 of humility

00:30:57.000 --> 00:30:58.079
 for us to

00:30:58.079 --> 00:30:58.680
 walk in,

00:30:59.779 --> 00:31:00.279
 a way that

00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:00.980
 brings us

00:31:00.980 --> 00:31:03.659
 out of this

00:31:03.659 --> 00:31:04.339
 pattern of

00:31:04.339 --> 00:31:05.059
 running against

00:31:05.059 --> 00:31:06.579
 God's grain and

00:31:06.579 --> 00:31:07.859
 running along

00:31:07.859 --> 00:31:09.000
 with the grain

00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:10.000
 of God's

00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:11.200
 created order

00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:11.759
 and purposes

00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:12.480
 for us.

00:31:12.659 --> 00:31:13.460
 So let's now

00:31:13.460 --> 00:31:14.259
 look at humility

00:31:14.259 --> 00:31:15.039
 for a few

00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:15.440
 minutes.

00:31:16.440 --> 00:31:17.220
 What is

00:31:17.220 --> 00:31:17.579
 humility?

00:31:17.940 --> 00:31:18.399
 Well, again,

00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:19.039
 a definition.

00:31:19.500 --> 00:31:20.259
 A modest or

00:31:20.259 --> 00:31:21.000
 low view of

00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:22.319
 one's importance.

00:31:22.879 --> 00:31:23.359
 Interestingly,

00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:24.139
 it's ambiguous.

00:31:24.379 --> 00:31:25.279
 Is humility a

00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:26.619
 bad thing or

00:31:26.619 --> 00:31:27.659
 is it a realistic

00:31:27.659 --> 00:31:28.159
 thing?

00:31:28.159 --> 00:31:28.859
 Is it a good

00:31:28.859 --> 00:31:29.319
 thing?

00:31:29.319 --> 00:31:34.059
 Well, depending

00:31:34.059 --> 00:31:34.740
 on how we use

00:31:34.740 --> 00:31:35.419
 it, it could be

00:31:35.419 --> 00:31:35.859
 both.

00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:37.319
 Sometimes in

00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:38.240
 common use, we

00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:39.460
 use humility and

00:31:39.460 --> 00:31:40.119
 we think it's a

00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:40.899
 terrible thing.

00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:41.859
 Sometimes we

00:31:41.859 --> 00:31:43.819
 use it in light

00:31:43.819 --> 00:31:44.299
 of sort of

00:31:44.299 --> 00:31:46.079
 humiliation as

00:31:46.079 --> 00:31:46.819
 something that is

00:31:46.819 --> 00:31:47.779
 destructive to

00:31:47.779 --> 00:31:48.779
 someone's dignity

00:31:48.779 --> 00:31:49.779
 and self-worth.

00:31:54.639 --> 00:31:55.240
 Biblically,

00:31:56.159 --> 00:31:57.019
 humility is

00:31:57.019 --> 00:31:58.059
 always a good

00:31:58.059 --> 00:31:58.359
 thing.

00:31:58.359 --> 00:31:59.599
 It is a

00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:01.059
 rightly modest

00:32:01.059 --> 00:32:01.959
 view of

00:32:01.959 --> 00:32:02.579
 oneself.

00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:04.479
 And again,

00:32:04.579 --> 00:32:04.959
 where do we

00:32:04.959 --> 00:32:05.439
 see this?

00:32:05.500 --> 00:32:06.319
 At its core,

00:32:07.019 --> 00:32:07.899
 consider back

00:32:07.899 --> 00:32:08.399
 at the Garden

00:32:08.399 --> 00:32:08.819
 of Eden

00:32:08.819 --> 00:32:10.419
 before sin

00:32:10.419 --> 00:32:11.000
 entered the

00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:11.339
 world.

00:32:11.500 --> 00:32:12.000
 What did

00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:12.439
 Adam and

00:32:12.439 --> 00:32:13.059
 Eve do?

00:32:13.500 --> 00:32:14.539
 They received

00:32:14.539 --> 00:32:15.259
 from God

00:32:15.259 --> 00:32:16.179
 everything that

00:32:16.179 --> 00:32:16.699
 they needed.

00:32:18.799 --> 00:32:20.059
 God provided

00:32:20.059 --> 00:32:20.659
 for them and

00:32:20.659 --> 00:32:21.139
 they put

00:32:21.139 --> 00:32:21.879
 themselves in

00:32:21.879 --> 00:32:22.579
 a dependent

00:32:22.579 --> 00:32:24.659
 and receiving

00:32:24.659 --> 00:32:26.419
 place, which

00:32:26.419 --> 00:32:26.939
 would be

00:32:26.939 --> 00:32:27.819
 vulnerable except

00:32:27.819 --> 00:32:28.339
 that providing

00:32:28.339 --> 00:32:28.639
 the provider

00:32:28.639 --> 00:32:29.639
 was perfect and

00:32:29.639 --> 00:32:30.779
 all-powerful and

00:32:30.779 --> 00:32:32.039
 never failing.

00:32:33.959 --> 00:32:34.480
 And so, in

00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:35.119
 their humility,

00:32:35.299 --> 00:32:36.179
 they said, yes, I

00:32:36.179 --> 00:32:37.639
 will put myself in

00:32:37.639 --> 00:32:38.319
 that place of

00:32:38.319 --> 00:32:39.240
 vulnerability and

00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:40.480
 know that I need

00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:41.039
 to receive.

00:32:41.639 --> 00:32:42.619
 It also meant that

00:32:42.619 --> 00:32:43.599
 they submitted to

00:32:43.599 --> 00:32:44.519
 His commands.

00:32:47.819 --> 00:32:48.980
 He said, don't eat

00:32:48.980 --> 00:32:49.519
 of the tree.

00:32:49.679 --> 00:32:50.399
 And for a while,

00:32:50.539 --> 00:32:51.119
 they didn't.

00:32:51.980 --> 00:32:52.599
 And that seemed

00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:53.379
 right and good.

00:32:53.699 --> 00:32:54.639
 It also seemed they

00:32:54.639 --> 00:32:55.720
 acknowledged and

00:32:55.720 --> 00:32:56.859
 enjoyed God's

00:32:56.859 --> 00:32:57.339
 presence.

00:32:57.339 --> 00:32:58.339
 He would come and

00:32:58.339 --> 00:32:59.099
 walk with them in

00:32:59.099 --> 00:32:59.719
 the cool of the

00:32:59.719 --> 00:33:00.079
 day.

00:33:01.139 --> 00:33:01.839
 And this was a

00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:02.639
 good and beautiful

00:33:02.639 --> 00:33:03.219
 thing and they

00:33:03.219 --> 00:33:04.319
 trusted in God's

00:33:04.319 --> 00:33:04.759
 goodness.

00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:10.439
 To have humility

00:33:10.439 --> 00:33:11.339
 allows us to

00:33:11.339 --> 00:33:12.339
 relate to God

00:33:12.339 --> 00:33:14.059
 properly as His

00:33:14.059 --> 00:33:14.879
 creation,

00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:16.119
 receiving from

00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:17.359
 Him as His

00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:18.119
 creator and

00:33:18.119 --> 00:33:19.019
 living under

00:33:19.019 --> 00:33:20.359
 His sovereign

00:33:20.359 --> 00:33:21.639
 good rule in

00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:22.320
 our lives.

00:33:24.180 --> 00:33:25.100
 And wonderfully,

00:33:25.300 --> 00:33:26.140
 it actually then

00:33:26.140 --> 00:33:27.320
 also allows us to

00:33:27.320 --> 00:33:28.240
 relate to others

00:33:28.240 --> 00:33:29.460
 better as well.

00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:30.680
 We look at the

00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:31.600
 people around us

00:33:31.600 --> 00:33:32.180
 and we are no

00:33:32.180 --> 00:33:33.280
 longer in competition

00:33:33.280 --> 00:33:34.440
 for glory with

00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:34.700
 them.

00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:36.120
 And that allows us

00:33:36.120 --> 00:33:37.100
 to receive them,

00:33:37.380 --> 00:33:38.140
 to look at them

00:33:38.140 --> 00:33:39.080
 and celebrate them

00:33:39.080 --> 00:33:39.840
 for the unique

00:33:39.840 --> 00:33:40.740
 gift that they

00:33:40.740 --> 00:33:41.900
 are to this

00:33:41.900 --> 00:33:42.560
 world, to the

00:33:42.560 --> 00:33:43.240
 unique way that

00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:43.940
 God has made

00:33:43.940 --> 00:33:45.000
 each one of us

00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:46.500
 and allows us to

00:33:46.500 --> 00:33:47.500
 explore and

00:33:47.500 --> 00:33:49.380
 celebrate differences

00:33:49.380 --> 00:33:51.640
 as a good

00:33:51.640 --> 00:33:52.120
 thing.

00:33:53.460 --> 00:33:54.280
 It means we

00:33:54.280 --> 00:33:54.800
 don't have to

00:33:54.800 --> 00:33:55.160
 live with

00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:56.220
 comparison anymore.

00:33:56.300 --> 00:33:56.720
 Am I better

00:33:56.720 --> 00:33:57.220
 than them or

00:33:57.220 --> 00:33:57.440
 not?

00:33:57.580 --> 00:33:58.400
 It simply means

00:33:58.400 --> 00:33:59.020
 we can look at

00:33:59.020 --> 00:33:59.720
 them and enjoy

00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:00.340
 them for who

00:34:00.340 --> 00:34:01.040
 they are.

00:34:03.400 --> 00:34:04.160
 We don't have

00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:04.600
 to have a

00:34:04.600 --> 00:34:05.220
 pecking order.

00:34:05.540 --> 00:34:05.960
 Where do we

00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:06.220
 fit?

00:34:06.980 --> 00:34:07.640
 We can just

00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:08.220
 treat one

00:34:08.220 --> 00:34:08.619
 another.

00:34:11.940 --> 00:34:12.380
 Again,

00:34:13.380 --> 00:34:16.180
 humility then

00:34:16.180 --> 00:34:17.039
 brings great

00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:17.800
 blessing when

00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:19.360
 we live in

00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:19.579
 it.

00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:20.900
 What does it

00:34:20.900 --> 00:34:21.440
 look like?

00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:22.160
 How do we

00:34:22.160 --> 00:34:23.140
 actually live

00:34:23.140 --> 00:34:24.700
 out a life

00:34:24.700 --> 00:34:25.340
 of humility?

00:34:27.680 --> 00:34:28.460
 Proverbs 3,

00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:29.300
 5 through 7,

00:34:29.380 --> 00:34:29.860
 we've read it

00:34:29.860 --> 00:34:30.380
 once but I

00:34:30.380 --> 00:34:30.760
 want to read

00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:31.420
 it again and

00:34:31.420 --> 00:34:32.160
 spend a few

00:34:32.160 --> 00:34:32.700
 minutes looking

00:34:32.700 --> 00:34:33.079
 at it.

00:34:33.440 --> 00:34:34.240
 Trust in the

00:34:34.240 --> 00:34:34.840
 Lord with all

00:34:34.840 --> 00:34:35.400
 your heart.

00:34:36.160 --> 00:34:37.039
 Do not lean on

00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:37.420
 your own

00:34:37.420 --> 00:34:38.000
 understanding.

00:34:38.140 --> 00:34:38.680
 In all your

00:34:38.680 --> 00:34:39.440
 ways acknowledge

00:34:39.440 --> 00:34:40.620
 Him and He

00:34:40.620 --> 00:34:41.039
 will make

00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:41.640
 straight your

00:34:41.640 --> 00:34:42.200
 paths.

00:34:42.700 --> 00:34:43.420
 Be not wise

00:34:43.420 --> 00:34:44.000
 in your own

00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:44.300
 eyes.

00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:45.039
 Fear the

00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:46.120
 Lord and

00:34:46.120 --> 00:34:47.019
 turn away

00:34:47.019 --> 00:34:47.680
 from evil.

00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:47.739
 people.

00:34:49.119 --> 00:34:49.500
 What are

00:34:49.500 --> 00:34:49.940
 a couple of

00:34:49.940 --> 00:34:50.279
 the key

00:34:50.279 --> 00:34:51.039
 aspects of

00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:51.699
 the way of

00:34:51.699 --> 00:34:53.119
 humility that

00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:53.679
 are exposed

00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:54.039
 here?

00:34:54.219 --> 00:34:54.839
 The first

00:34:54.839 --> 00:34:55.339
 one is a

00:34:55.339 --> 00:34:56.079
 wholehearted

00:34:56.079 --> 00:34:56.899
 trust.

00:34:58.139 --> 00:34:58.440
 No matter

00:34:58.440 --> 00:34:59.179
 what I have

00:34:59.179 --> 00:34:59.940
 experienced,

00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:00.919
 I will trust

00:35:00.919 --> 00:35:01.719
 that God

00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:02.839
 is good

00:35:02.839 --> 00:35:03.980
 and God

00:35:03.980 --> 00:35:05.059
 is sovereign.

00:35:07.139 --> 00:35:07.500
 Friends,

00:35:07.619 --> 00:35:08.259
 sometimes we

00:35:08.259 --> 00:35:09.039
 have to wrestle

00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:09.679
 with that,

00:35:10.259 --> 00:35:11.460
 but part of

00:35:11.460 --> 00:35:11.980
 humility

00:35:11.980 --> 00:35:13.139
 ultimately says

00:35:13.139 --> 00:35:14.019
 you are the

00:35:14.019 --> 00:35:14.919
 potter and I

00:35:14.919 --> 00:35:15.639
 am the clay.

00:35:15.639 --> 00:35:18.099
 and I

00:35:18.099 --> 00:35:18.759
 don't have a

00:35:18.759 --> 00:35:19.379
 right to say

00:35:19.379 --> 00:35:20.199
 why have you

00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:21.059
 made me thus?

00:35:22.299 --> 00:35:23.099
 Why have you

00:35:23.099 --> 00:35:24.059
 shaped my life

00:35:24.059 --> 00:35:24.839
 in this way

00:35:24.839 --> 00:35:25.480
 or that way?

00:35:25.879 --> 00:35:26.839
 Humility allows

00:35:26.839 --> 00:35:27.839
 us to see God

00:35:27.839 --> 00:35:28.400
 and say God

00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:29.179
 I trust you

00:35:29.179 --> 00:35:30.460
 even when I

00:35:30.460 --> 00:35:31.259
 don't understand

00:35:31.259 --> 00:35:32.659
 and even when

00:35:32.659 --> 00:35:33.379
 this is hard

00:35:33.379 --> 00:35:34.799
 I trust you.

00:35:37.059 --> 00:35:37.900
 It also

00:35:37.900 --> 00:35:38.500
 shows,

00:35:38.619 --> 00:35:39.420
 another key

00:35:39.420 --> 00:35:40.339
 aspect is that

00:35:40.339 --> 00:35:41.159
 it shows a

00:35:41.159 --> 00:35:41.839
 self-doubt

00:35:41.839 --> 00:35:42.940
 about one's

00:35:42.940 --> 00:35:43.599
 understanding

00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:44.359
 and knowledge.

00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:44.960
 Right?

00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:45.720
 Do not lean

00:35:45.720 --> 00:35:46.180
 on your own

00:35:46.180 --> 00:35:46.700
 understanding

00:35:46.700 --> 00:35:47.280
 it says.

00:35:47.800 --> 00:35:48.500
 I need God's

00:35:48.500 --> 00:35:48.920
 help because

00:35:48.920 --> 00:35:49.660
 I might be

00:35:49.660 --> 00:35:50.120
 wrong.

00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:51.220
 I don't see

00:35:51.220 --> 00:35:51.880
 myself as

00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:52.599
 wise but

00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:53.320
 as one

00:35:53.320 --> 00:35:53.940
 who needs

00:35:53.940 --> 00:35:54.380
 wisdom

00:35:54.380 --> 00:35:55.680
 from God.

00:35:56.640 --> 00:35:57.640
 I therefore

00:35:57.640 --> 00:35:58.640
 have to live

00:35:58.640 --> 00:35:59.760
 not with

00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:00.640
 an unbreakable

00:36:00.640 --> 00:36:01.519
 self-confidence

00:36:01.519 --> 00:36:02.039
 but with

00:36:02.039 --> 00:36:02.559
 a healthy

00:36:02.559 --> 00:36:03.620
 self-doubt

00:36:03.620 --> 00:36:05.340
 about my

00:36:05.340 --> 00:36:06.300
 own ideas.

00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:08.860
 It makes me

00:36:08.860 --> 00:36:09.360
 willing to

00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:10.300
 accept input

00:36:10.300 --> 00:36:10.860
 and correction

00:36:10.860 --> 00:36:11.460
 from others

00:36:11.460 --> 00:36:11.900
 as we've

00:36:11.900 --> 00:36:12.460
 talked about.

00:36:12.460 --> 00:36:15.420
 Humility

00:36:15.420 --> 00:36:15.900
 also

00:36:15.900 --> 00:36:16.760
 recognizes

00:36:16.760 --> 00:36:18.420
 that

00:36:18.420 --> 00:36:20.420
 again

00:36:20.420 --> 00:36:20.880
 from

00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:21.360
 Proverbs

00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:22.440
 3

00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:23.280
 in all

00:36:23.280 --> 00:36:23.820
 your ways

00:36:23.820 --> 00:36:24.420
 acknowledge

00:36:24.420 --> 00:36:24.960
 him.

00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:26.480
 Humility

00:36:26.480 --> 00:36:27.059
 flows

00:36:27.059 --> 00:36:27.740
 and is

00:36:27.740 --> 00:36:28.320
 expressed

00:36:28.320 --> 00:36:28.800
 in this

00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:29.539
 fundamental

00:36:29.539 --> 00:36:30.539
 I am a

00:36:30.539 --> 00:36:31.260
 created being

00:36:31.260 --> 00:36:31.840
 and God

00:36:31.840 --> 00:36:32.240
 is my

00:36:32.240 --> 00:36:32.780
 creator.

00:36:33.780 --> 00:36:34.280
 He has

00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:35.000
 shaped me.

00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:35.579
 He has

00:36:35.579 --> 00:36:36.059
 given me

00:36:36.059 --> 00:36:36.519
 purposes

00:36:36.519 --> 00:36:37.099
 for my

00:36:37.099 --> 00:36:37.519
 life.

00:36:39.059 --> 00:36:39.599
 And it

00:36:39.599 --> 00:36:40.300
 means that

00:36:40.300 --> 00:36:41.240
 in acknowledging

00:36:41.240 --> 00:36:42.099
 him part

00:36:42.099 --> 00:36:42.719
 of the idea

00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:43.099
 here is

00:36:43.099 --> 00:36:43.579
 also that

00:36:43.579 --> 00:36:44.039
 we will

00:36:44.039 --> 00:36:44.440
 seek

 evil?

00:37:08.059 --> 00:37:08.699
 How do

00:41:19.199 --> 00:41:19.380
 be

00:41:19.380 --> 00:41:19.759
 because

 you

00:41:19.920 --> 00:41:20.199
 feel

 the

00:41:40.739 --> 00:41:40.899
 when

00:41:40.899 --> 00:41:41.079
 we

00:41:41.079 --> 00:41:41.359
 think

00:41:41.359 --> 00:41:41.639
 about

00:41:41.639 --> 00:41:42.119
 ourselves

00:41:42.119 --> 00:41:42.619
 all

00:41:42.619 --> 00:41:42.859
 the

00:41:43.279 --> 00:41:45.960
 humility

00:41:45.960 --> 00:41:46.599
 frees

 us

00:41:46.799 --> 00:41:47.019
 from

 there

00:42:25.780 --> 00:42:27.260
 it

00:42:27.260 --> 00:42:27.380
 is

00:42:27.380 --> 00:42:27.559
 not

 a

 promise

 a

00:42:30.820 --> 00:42:30.980
 good

00:42:30.980 --> 00:42:31.320

 before

00:42:31.700 --> 00:42:32.160
 God

00:42:32.160 --> 00:42:36.380
 so

00:42:36.380 --> 00:42:36.539
 what

00:42:36.539 --> 00:42:36.620
 do

 how

00:42:38.220 --> 00:42:38.320
 do

00:42:38.320 --> 00:42:38.440
 we

 pursue

00:42:38.820 --> 00:42:39.500
 humility

00:42:39.500 --> 00:42:40.220
 well

00:42:40.220 --> 00:42:40.539
 of course

00:42:40.539 --> 00:42:40.780
 this

00:42:40.780 --> 00:42:41.039
 is the

00:42:41.039 --> 00:42:41.400
 problem

00:42:41.400 --> 00:42:41.740
 isn't

00:42:41.740 --> 00:42:41.920
 it

00:42:41.920 --> 00:42:42.440
 as

00:42:42.440 --> 00:42:42.620
 soon

00:42:42.620 --> 00:42:42.760
 as

00:42:42.760 --> 00:42:42.860
 you

00:42:42.860 --> 00:42:43.079
 begin

00:42:43.079 --> 00:42:43.240
 to

00:42:43.240 --> 00:42:43.559
 pursue

00:42:43.559 --> 00:42:44.079
 humility

00:42:44.079 --> 00:42:44.700
 and

00:42:44.700 --> 00:42:44.900
 have

00:42:44.900 --> 00:42:45.039
 a

00:42:45.039 --> 00:42:45.200
 little

00:42:45.200 --> 00:42:45.480
 grain

00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:45.620
 of

00:42:45.620 --> 00:42:46.019
 success

00:42:46.019 --> 00:42:46.260
 what

00:42:46.260 --> 00:42:46.720
 happens

00:42:46.720 --> 00:42:47.480
 you

00:42:47.480 --> 00:42:47.660
 get

00:42:47.660 --> 00:42:47.980
 proud

00:42:47.980 --> 00:42:48.300
 about

00:42:48.300 --> 00:42:48.500
 it

00:42:48.500 --> 00:42:48.820
 you

00:42:48.820 --> 00:42:48.980
 think

00:42:48.980 --> 00:42:49.280
 hey

00:42:49.280 --> 00:42:49.519
 I'm

00:42:49.519 --> 00:42:49.700
 getting

00:42:49.700 --> 00:42:49.980
 really

00:42:49.980 --> 00:42:50.360
 humble

00:42:50.360 --> 00:42:51.019
 and

00:42:51.019 --> 00:42:51.200
 then

00:42:51.200 --> 00:42:51.420
 you've

00:42:51.420 --> 00:42:51.619
 shot

00:42:51.619 --> 00:42:51.960
 yourself

00:42:51.960 --> 00:42:52.220
 in the

00:42:52.220 --> 00:42:52.380
 foot

00:42:52.380 --> 00:42:52.559
 you've

00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:52.700
 got to

00:42:52.700 --> 00:42:52.980
 go back

00:42:52.980 --> 00:42:53.400
 to start

00:42:53.400 --> 00:42:53.860
 and do

00:42:53.860 --> 00:42:54.180
 it over

00:42:54.180 --> 00:42:54.500
 again

00:42:54.500 --> 00:42:54.820
 right

00:42:54.820 --> 00:42:57.800
 no

00:42:57.800 --> 00:42:58.860
 we're so

00:42:58.860 --> 00:42:59.400
 complicated

00:42:59.400 --> 00:42:59.960
 aren't we

00:42:59.960 --> 00:43:02.579
 to pursue

00:43:02.579 --> 00:43:03.059
 humility

00:43:03.059 --> 00:43:03.619
 is not

00:43:03.619 --> 00:43:04.000
 about

00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:04.940
 trying harder

00:43:04.940 --> 00:43:05.460
 to become

00:43:05.460 --> 00:43:06.119
 more humble

00:43:06.119 --> 00:43:07.639
 instead

00:43:07.639 --> 00:43:07.679
 instead

00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:08.219
 it's

00:43:08.219 --> 00:43:08.440
 to

00:43:08.440 --> 00:43:09.259
 turn

00:43:09.259 --> 00:43:09.539
 our

00:43:09.539 --> 00:43:10.159
 gaze

00:43:10.159 --> 00:43:10.839
 somewhere

00:43:10.839 --> 00:43:11.259
 else

00:43:11.259 --> 00:43:11.920
 it's

00:43:11.920 --> 00:43:12.079
 to

00:43:12.079 --> 00:43:12.420
 stop

00:43:12.420 --> 00:43:12.819
 thinking

00:43:12.819 --> 00:43:13.199
 about

00:43:13.199 --> 00:43:13.639
 ourselves

00:43:13.639 --> 00:43:13.880
 and

00:43:13.880 --> 00:43:14.039
 to

00:43:14.039 --> 00:43:14.319
 stop

00:43:14.319 --> 00:43:14.619
 looking

00:43:14.619 --> 00:43:14.839
 at

00:43:14.839 --> 00:43:15.319
 ourselves

00:43:15.319 --> 00:43:16.000
 and

00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:16.159
 to

00:43:16.159 --> 00:43:16.380
 stop

00:43:16.380 --> 00:43:16.679
 trying

00:43:16.679 --> 00:43:16.839
 to

00:43:16.839 --> 00:43:17.179
 protect

00:43:17.179 --> 00:43:17.659
 ourselves

00:43:17.659 --> 00:43:17.880
 and

00:43:17.880 --> 00:43:18.000
 it

00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:18.199
 is

00:43:18.199 --> 00:43:18.359
 to

00:43:18.359 --> 00:43:18.839
 fix

00:43:18.839 --> 00:43:19.500
 our

00:43:19.500 --> 00:43:19.920
 eyes

00:43:19.920 --> 00:43:20.239
 on

00:43:20.239 --> 00:43:20.659
 God

00:43:20.659 --> 00:43:23.380
 because

00:43:23.380 --> 00:43:23.659
 when

00:43:23.659 --> 00:43:24.019
 God

00:43:24.019 --> 00:43:24.199
 is

00:43:24.199 --> 00:43:24.319
 in

00:43:24.319 --> 00:43:24.440
 the

00:43:24.440 --> 00:43:24.639
 right

00:43:24.639 --> 00:43:25.079
 place

00:43:25.079 --> 00:43:25.219
 in

00:43:25.219 --> 00:43:25.359
 our

00:43:25.359 --> 00:43:25.659
 vision

00:43:25.659 --> 00:43:25.880
 in

00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:26.039
 the

00:43:26.039 --> 00:43:26.319
 center

00:43:26.319 --> 00:43:26.579
 of

00:43:26.579 --> 00:43:26.739
 it

00:43:26.739 --> 00:43:27.219
 when

00:43:27.219 --> 00:43:27.380
 we

00:43:27.380 --> 00:43:27.539
 are

00:43:27.539 --> 00:43:28.039
 fixing

00:43:28.039 --> 00:43:28.319
 our

00:43:28.319 --> 00:43:28.599
 eyes

00:43:28.599 --> 00:43:28.779
 on

00:43:28.779 --> 00:43:29.199
 him

00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:29.759
 we

00:43:29.759 --> 00:43:30.119
 fade

00:43:30.119 --> 00:43:30.279
 into

00:43:30.279 --> 00:43:30.440
 the

00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:30.940
 background

00:43:30.940 --> 00:43:34.159
 friends

00:43:34.159 --> 00:43:34.440
 this

00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:34.679
 is

00:43:34.679 --> 00:43:35.339
 a part

00:43:35.339 --> 00:43:35.539
 of the

00:43:35.539 --> 00:43:35.980
 passage

00:43:35.980 --> 00:43:36.300
 that we

00:43:36.300 --> 00:43:36.539
 read

00:43:36.539 --> 00:43:36.980
 earlier

00:43:36.980 --> 00:43:37.240
 from

00:43:37.240 --> 00:43:37.820
 Philippians

00:43:37.820 --> 00:43:38.179
 2

00:43:38.179 --> 00:43:41.840
 Paul

00:43:41.840 --> 00:43:42.519
 exhorts

00:43:42.519 --> 00:43:44.039
 the

00:43:44.039 --> 00:43:44.500
 Philippians

00:43:44.500 --> 00:43:45.199
 right before

00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:45.579
 what

00:43:45.579 --> 00:43:46.280
 Tosin

00:43:46.280 --> 00:43:46.659
 read

00:43:46.659 --> 00:43:47.460
 to be

00:43:47.460 --> 00:43:47.900
 completely

00:43:47.900 --> 00:43:48.380
 humble

00:43:48.380 --> 00:43:48.659
 and to

00:43:48.659 --> 00:43:48.940
 put the

00:43:48.940 --> 00:43:49.260
 interests

00:43:49.260 --> 00:43:49.900
 of others

00:43:49.900 --> 00:43:51.019
 in front

00:43:51.019 --> 00:43:51.360
 of their

00:43:51.360 --> 00:43:51.760
 own

00:43:51.760 --> 00:43:53.380
 to have

00:43:53.380 --> 00:43:53.800
 the mind

00:43:53.800 --> 00:43:54.420
 of Christ

00:43:54.420 --> 00:43:55.139
 because

00:43:55.139 --> 00:43:55.619
 this is

00:43:55.619 --> 00:43:56.039
 the God

00:43:56.039 --> 00:43:56.400
 that we

00:43:56.400 --> 00:43:56.860
 serve

00:43:56.860 --> 00:43:58.099
 we

00:43:58.099 --> 00:43:58.760
 serve

00:43:58.760 --> 00:43:59.699
 a great

00:43:59.699 --> 00:44:00.099
 God

00:44:00.099 --> 00:44:00.699
 who is

00:44:00.699 --> 00:44:01.300
 the creator

00:44:01.300 --> 00:44:01.740
 of all

00:44:01.740 --> 00:44:01.960
 things

00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:02.260
 and who

00:44:02.260 --> 00:44:02.679
 deserves

00:44:02.679 --> 00:44:03.139
 all of

00:44:03.139 --> 00:44:03.300
 our

00:44:03.300 --> 00:44:03.639
 worship

00:44:03.639 --> 00:44:04.619
 but more

00:44:04.619 --> 00:44:05.280
 than that

00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:06.180
 who

00:44:06.180 --> 00:44:06.540
 also

00:44:06.540 --> 00:44:06.820
 has

00:44:06.820 --> 00:44:07.140
 shown

00:44:07.140 --> 00:44:07.360
 us

00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:07.720
 the way

00:44:07.720 --> 00:44:07.860
 of

00:44:07.860 --> 00:44:08.280
 humility

00:44:08.280 --> 00:44:08.700
 in the

00:44:08.700 --> 00:44:09.040
 person

00:44:09.040 --> 00:44:09.240
 of

00:44:09.240 --> 00:44:09.680
 Jesus

00:44:09.680 --> 00:44:12.220
 Jesus

00:44:12.220 --> 00:44:13.940
 left

00:44:13.940 --> 00:44:14.360
 heaven

00:44:14.360 --> 00:44:14.780
 and all

00:44:14.780 --> 00:44:14.980
 the

00:44:14.980 --> 00:44:15.620
 prerogatives

00:44:15.620 --> 00:44:15.840
 of

00:44:15.840 --> 00:44:16.440
 Godhead

00:44:16.440 --> 00:44:18.880
 to become

00:44:18.880 --> 00:44:19.280
 a human

00:44:19.280 --> 00:44:19.780
 being

00:44:19.780 --> 00:44:21.019
 he humbled

00:44:21.019 --> 00:44:21.420
 himself

00:44:21.420 --> 00:44:22.060
 for those

00:44:22.060 --> 00:44:23.440
 who don't

00:44:23.440 --> 00:44:24.260
 humble

00:44:24.260 --> 00:44:24.980
 themselves

00:44:24.980 --> 00:44:27.880
 he took

00:44:27.880 --> 00:44:28.320
 on

00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:28.920
 human

00:44:28.920 --> 00:44:29.540
 flesh

00:44:29.539 --> 00:44:29.599
 flesh

00:44:29.599 --> 00:44:31.619
 think

00:44:31.619 --> 00:44:31.880
 about

00:44:31.880 --> 00:44:32.079
 the

00:44:32.079 --> 00:44:32.719
 indignity

00:44:32.719 --> 00:44:32.980
 of

00:44:32.980 --> 00:44:33.179
 the

00:44:33.179 --> 00:44:33.519
 God

00:44:33.519 --> 00:44:33.679
 who

00:44:33.679 --> 00:44:34.059
 created

00:44:34.059 --> 00:44:34.300
 the

00:44:34.300 --> 00:44:34.579
 world

00:44:34.579 --> 00:44:35.000
 taking

00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:35.519
 on

00:44:35.519 --> 00:44:36.380
 the

00:44:36.380 --> 00:44:36.779
 fallen

00:44:36.779 --> 00:44:37.199
 human

00:44:37.199 --> 00:44:37.759
 flesh

00:44:37.759 --> 00:44:39.500
 the

00:44:39.500 --> 00:44:40.079
 limitations

00:44:40.079 --> 00:44:40.599
 of

00:44:40.599 --> 00:44:41.739
 sleepiness

00:44:41.739 --> 00:44:41.980
 and

00:44:41.980 --> 00:44:43.119
 hungriness

00:44:43.119 --> 00:44:43.480
 and

00:44:43.480 --> 00:44:44.820
 fatigue

00:44:44.820 --> 00:44:48.179
 he

00:44:48.179 --> 00:44:48.659
 submitted

00:44:48.659 --> 00:44:49.840
 to the

00:44:49.840 --> 00:44:50.460
 humiliation

00:44:50.460 --> 00:44:51.039
 of the

00:44:51.039 --> 00:44:51.500
 incarnation

00:44:51.500 --> 00:44:52.019
 he

00:44:52.019 --> 00:44:53.420
 he bore

00:44:53.420 --> 00:44:53.659
 the

00:44:53.659 --> 00:44:54.559
 indignation

00:44:54.559 --> 00:44:55.239
 the

00:44:55.239 --> 00:44:56.079
 indignity

00:44:56.079 --> 00:44:57.219
 that is

00:44:57.219 --> 00:44:58.079
 of servitude

00:44:58.079 --> 00:44:58.739
 he became

00:44:58.739 --> 00:44:59.400
 a servant

00:44:59.400 --> 00:45:00.860
 upon this

00:45:00.860 --> 00:45:01.259
 earth

00:45:01.259 --> 00:45:02.980
 and

00:45:02.980 --> 00:45:03.420
 ultimately

00:45:03.420 --> 00:45:03.880
 he went

00:45:03.880 --> 00:45:04.199
 to the

00:45:04.199 --> 00:45:04.639
 cross

00:45:04.639 --> 00:45:05.699
 and he

00:45:05.699 --> 00:45:06.059
 bore

00:45:06.059 --> 00:45:06.659
 the sin

00:45:06.659 --> 00:45:07.299
 of humanity

00:45:07.299 --> 00:45:07.799
 on his

00:45:07.799 --> 00:45:08.259
 shoulders

00:45:08.259 --> 00:45:09.279
 dying

00:45:09.279 --> 00:45:09.980
 a death

00:45:09.980 --> 00:45:10.420
 that was

00:45:10.420 --> 00:45:11.380
 disgraceful

00:45:11.380 --> 00:45:12.719
 in the

00:45:12.719 --> 00:45:13.000
 eyes

00:45:13.000 --> 00:45:13.380
 of all

00:45:13.380 --> 00:45:13.980
 humans

00:45:13.980 --> 00:45:17.079
 this is

00:45:17.079 --> 00:45:17.639
 humility

00:45:17.639 --> 00:45:20.179
 counting

00:45:20.179 --> 00:45:20.539
 not

00:45:20.539 --> 00:45:21.219
 himself

00:45:21.219 --> 00:45:22.319
 as most

00:45:22.319 --> 00:45:22.799
 important

00:45:22.799 --> 00:45:24.019
 but

00:45:24.019 --> 00:45:25.380
 to complete

00:45:25.380 --> 00:45:25.759
 the will

00:45:25.759 --> 00:45:26.059
 of the

00:45:26.059 --> 00:45:26.400
 father

00:45:26.400 --> 00:45:26.960
 and for

00:45:26.960 --> 00:45:27.460
 the sake

00:45:27.460 --> 00:45:28.019
 of us

00:45:28.019 --> 00:45:28.920
 so that

00:45:28.920 --> 00:45:29.400
 we

00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:29.840
 might

00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:30.179
 know

00:45:30.179 --> 00:45:30.440
 his

00:45:30.440 --> 00:45:30.840
 love

00:45:30.840 --> 00:45:31.239
 and be

00:45:31.239 --> 00:45:31.619
 saved

00:45:31.619 --> 00:45:31.880
 from

00:45:31.880 --> 00:45:32.099
 our

00:45:32.099 --> 00:45:32.400
 sin

00:45:32.400 --> 00:45:33.980
 he

00:45:33.980 --> 00:45:34.219
 did

00:45:34.219 --> 00:45:34.480
 this

00:45:34.480 --> 00:45:34.739
 for

00:45:34.739 --> 00:45:35.119
 us

00:45:35.119 --> 00:45:36.519
 he

00:45:36.519 --> 00:45:36.800
 went

00:45:36.800 --> 00:45:37.300
 and died

00:45:37.300 --> 00:45:37.699
 on that

00:45:37.699 --> 00:45:38.219
 cross

00:45:38.219 --> 00:45:39.159
 in the

00:45:39.159 --> 00:45:39.500
 greatest

00:45:39.500 --> 00:45:39.840
 act

00:45:39.840 --> 00:45:39.980
 of

00:45:39.980 --> 00:45:40.380
 humility

00:45:40.380 --> 00:45:40.860
 ever

00:45:40.860 --> 00:45:42.179
 who

00:45:42.179 --> 00:45:42.420
 would

00:45:42.420 --> 00:45:42.559
 have

00:45:42.559 --> 00:45:42.940
 thought

00:45:42.940 --> 00:45:44.579
 that the

00:45:44.579 --> 00:45:45.099
 creator

00:45:45.099 --> 00:45:45.739
 would die

00:45:45.739 --> 00:45:46.179
 for his

00:45:46.179 --> 00:45:46.759
 creation

00:45:46.759 --> 00:45:48.480
 to redeem

00:45:48.480 --> 00:45:48.679
 it

00:45:48.679 --> 00:45:49.019
 and to

00:45:49.019 --> 00:45:49.380
 rescue

00:45:49.380 --> 00:45:49.599
 it

00:45:49.599 --> 00:45:49.820
 from

00:45:49.820 --> 00:45:50.199
 their

00:45:50.199 --> 00:45:50.599
 own

00:45:50.599 --> 00:45:51.059
 foolish

00:45:51.059 --> 00:45:51.659
 pride

00:45:51.659 --> 00:45:53.280
 and yet

00:45:53.280 --> 00:45:53.659
 this is

00:45:53.659 --> 00:45:53.960
 what he

00:45:53.960 --> 00:45:54.259
 did

00:45:54.260 --> 00:45:56.060
 so that

00:45:56.060 --> 00:45:56.240
 we

00:45:56.240 --> 00:45:56.500
 might

00:45:56.500 --> 00:45:56.680
 be

00:45:56.680 --> 00:45:57.180
 exalted

00:45:57.180 --> 00:45:58.140
 in

00:45:58.140 --> 00:45:58.620
 salvation

00:45:58.620 --> 00:45:59.020
 and in

00:45:59.020 --> 00:45:59.140
 a

00:45:59.140 --> 00:45:59.620
 relationship

00:45:59.620 --> 00:45:59.960
 with

00:45:59.960 --> 00:46:00.220
 him

00:46:00.220 --> 00:46:01.080
 Jesus

00:46:01.080 --> 00:46:01.680
 not only

00:46:01.680 --> 00:46:01.920
 was

00:46:01.920 --> 00:46:02.900
 humiliated

00:46:02.900 --> 00:46:04.180
 and in

00:46:04.180 --> 00:46:04.640
 humility

00:46:04.640 --> 00:46:05.220
 went to

00:46:05.220 --> 00:46:05.480
 death

00:46:05.480 --> 00:46:05.940
 but then

00:46:05.940 --> 00:46:06.300
 God

00:46:06.300 --> 00:46:06.880
 raised him

00:46:06.880 --> 00:46:07.260
 from the

00:46:07.260 --> 00:46:07.440
 dead

00:46:07.440 --> 00:46:07.800
 and God

00:46:07.800 --> 00:46:08.440
 raised him

00:46:08.440 --> 00:46:08.660
 up

00:46:08.660 --> 00:46:09.680
 to a place

00:46:09.680 --> 00:46:10.160
 with a

00:46:10.160 --> 00:46:10.740
 name above

00:46:10.740 --> 00:46:11.620
 every name

00:46:11.620 --> 00:46:12.020
 so that

00:46:12.020 --> 00:46:12.320
 at the

00:46:12.320 --> 00:46:12.720
 name of

00:46:12.720 --> 00:46:12.960
 Jesus

00:46:12.960 --> 00:46:13.900
 every knee

00:46:13.900 --> 00:46:14.380
 should bow

00:46:14.380 --> 00:46:15.320
 and every

00:46:15.320 --> 00:46:15.660
 tongue

00:46:15.660 --> 00:46:16.700
 could confess

00:46:16.700 --> 00:46:18.000
 that Jesus

00:46:18.000 --> 00:46:18.660
 Christ is

00:46:18.660 --> 00:46:19.040
 Lord

00:46:19.039 --> 00:46:19.779
 and this

00:46:19.779 --> 00:46:20.099
 is the

00:46:20.099 --> 00:46:20.539
 restoration

00:46:20.539 --> 00:46:21.279
 of all

00:46:21.279 --> 00:46:21.739
 things

00:46:21.739 --> 00:46:22.139
 that we

00:46:22.139 --> 00:46:22.480
 see

00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:23.059
 promised

00:46:23.059 --> 00:46:23.920
 in the

00:46:23.920 --> 00:46:24.340
 gospel

00:46:24.340 --> 00:46:25.739
 that one

00:46:25.739 --> 00:46:26.139
 day

00:46:26.139 --> 00:46:26.820
 pride

00:46:26.820 --> 00:46:27.179
 will be

00:46:27.179 --> 00:46:27.579
 gone

00:46:27.579 --> 00:46:28.599
 we will

00:46:28.599 --> 00:46:28.880
 see

00:46:28.880 --> 00:46:29.219
 Jesus

00:46:29.219 --> 00:46:29.719
 as he

00:46:29.719 --> 00:46:30.099
 is

00:46:30.099 --> 00:46:30.860
 and we

00:46:30.860 --> 00:46:31.039
 will

00:46:31.039 --> 00:46:31.320
 bow

00:46:31.320 --> 00:46:31.579
 down

00:46:31.579 --> 00:46:32.059
 and worship

00:46:32.059 --> 00:46:32.420
 him

00:46:32.420 --> 00:46:35.980
 and friends

00:46:35.980 --> 00:46:36.440
 we have

00:46:36.440 --> 00:46:37.820
 the call

00:46:37.820 --> 00:46:39.019
 to do

00:46:39.019 --> 00:46:39.659
 that now

00:46:39.659 --> 00:46:41.460
 to worship

00:46:41.460 --> 00:46:42.079
 him now

00:46:42.079 --> 00:46:44.000
 to receive

00:46:44.000 --> 00:46:44.340
 what he

00:46:44.340 --> 00:46:44.699
 has done

00:46:44.699 --> 00:46:45.199
 for us

00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:45.639
 now

00:46:45.639 --> 00:46:48.099
 to recognize

00:46:48.099 --> 00:46:48.699
 that the

00:46:48.699 --> 00:46:49.000
 gospel

00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:49.339
 call

00:46:49.339 --> 00:46:49.819
 for us

00:46:49.819 --> 00:46:49.980
 is

00:46:49.980 --> 00:46:50.739
 there is

00:46:50.739 --> 00:46:51.139
 no room

00:46:51.139 --> 00:46:51.739
 for pride

00:46:51.739 --> 00:46:52.259
 because we

00:46:52.259 --> 00:46:52.599
 are all

00:46:52.599 --> 00:46:52.919
 sinners

00:46:52.919 --> 00:46:53.799
 before God

00:46:53.799 --> 00:46:54.659
 and we

00:46:54.659 --> 00:46:55.119
 have no

00:46:55.119 --> 00:46:55.519
 hope

00:46:55.519 --> 00:46:56.559
 apart from

00:46:56.559 --> 00:46:56.980
 a savior

00:46:56.980 --> 00:46:57.859
 like this

00:46:57.859 --> 00:47:02.019
 but friends

00:47:02.019 --> 00:47:02.379
 as we

00:47:02.379 --> 00:47:04.179
 are joined

00:47:04.179 --> 00:47:04.719
 with him

00:47:04.719 --> 00:47:05.339
 in faith

00:47:05.339 --> 00:47:06.179
 and as we

00:47:06.179 --> 00:47:06.699
 humbly

00:47:06.699 --> 00:47:07.439
 receive what

00:47:07.439 --> 00:47:07.899
 we cannot

00:47:07.899 --> 00:47:08.960
 do for

00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:09.599
 ourselves

00:47:09.599 --> 00:47:10.379
 our salvation

00:47:10.379 --> 00:47:11.759
 we are also

00:47:11.759 --> 00:47:12.399
 joined with

00:47:12.399 --> 00:47:12.659
 him

00:47:12.659 --> 00:47:13.460
 and know

00:47:13.460 --> 00:47:13.899
 that there is

00:47:13.899 --> 00:47:14.480
 a glory

00:47:14.480 --> 00:47:14.960
 to be

00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:15.519
 given to

00:47:15.519 --> 00:47:15.939
 us

00:47:15.939 --> 00:47:16.939
 because of

00:47:16.939 --> 00:47:17.219
 Jesus

00:47:17.219 --> 00:47:17.699
 at the

00:47:17.699 --> 00:47:17.960
 end

00:47:17.960 --> 00:47:21.139
 that is

00:47:21.139 --> 00:47:22.079
 far beyond

00:47:22.079 --> 00:47:22.420
 what we

00:47:22.420 --> 00:47:22.880
 can even

00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:23.320
 imagine

00:47:23.320 --> 00:47:24.360
 and what

00:47:24.360 --> 00:47:24.679
 a good

00:47:24.679 --> 00:47:25.039
 thing

00:47:25.039 --> 00:47:25.820
 that is

00:47:25.820 --> 00:47:28.860
 and friends

00:47:28.860 --> 00:47:30.099
 this is what

00:47:30.099 --> 00:47:30.659
 leads us

00:47:30.659 --> 00:47:31.800
 to the table

00:47:31.800 --> 00:47:32.119
 now

00:47:32.119 --> 00:47:33.300
 as we turn

00:47:33.300 --> 00:47:33.860
 now to

00:47:33.860 --> 00:47:35.179
 the Lord's

00:47:35.179 --> 00:47:35.440
 Supper

00:47:35.440 --> 00:47:38.699
 as we come

00:47:38.699 --> 00:47:39.179
 to this

00:47:39.179 --> 00:47:39.619
 table

00:47:39.619 --> 00:47:40.820
 we recognize

00:47:40.820 --> 00:47:41.400
 that this is

00:47:41.400 --> 00:47:41.720
 what we are

00:47:41.720 --> 00:47:42.139
 doing

00:47:42.139 --> 00:47:42.760
 when we

00:47:42.760 --> 00:47:43.380
 celebrate

00:47:43.380 --> 00:47:44.280
 this meal

00:47:44.280 --> 00:47:45.260
 as we

00:47:45.260 --> 00:47:45.620
 come

00:47:45.620 --> 00:47:46.380
 here

00:47:46.380 --> 00:47:47.280
 to celebrate

00:47:47.280 --> 00:47:48.420
 by drinking

00:47:48.420 --> 00:47:49.200
 a cup

00:47:49.200 --> 00:47:49.640
 of juice

00:47:49.640 --> 00:47:49.980
 and by

00:47:49.980 --> 00:47:50.280
 eating

00:47:50.280 --> 00:47:51.460
 a piece

00:47:51.460 --> 00:47:52.080
 of cracker

00:47:52.080 --> 00:47:52.960
 what we are

00:47:52.960 --> 00:47:53.620
 doing is

00:47:53.620 --> 00:47:54.780
 recognizing

00:47:54.780 --> 00:47:55.800
 Jesus goodness

00:47:55.800 --> 00:47:56.580
 to us

00:47:56.580 --> 00:47:58.380
 and his

00:47:58.380 --> 00:47:58.880
 humility

00:47:58.880 --> 00:47:59.820
 for us

00:47:59.820 --> 00:48:01.540
 and this

00:48:01.540 --> 00:48:02.000
 call

00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:02.519
 to this

00:48:02.519 --> 00:48:02.820
 table

00:48:02.820 --> 00:48:03.200
 is a

00:48:03.200 --> 00:48:03.380
 call

00:48:03.380 --> 00:48:04.060
 to repentance

00:48:04.060 --> 00:48:05.700
 because

00:48:05.700 --> 00:48:06.920
 to come

00:48:06.920 --> 00:48:07.240
 to this

00:48:07.240 --> 00:48:07.560
 table

00:48:07.560 --> 00:48:08.060
 and to

00:48:08.060 --> 00:48:08.600
 receive

00:48:08.600 --> 00:48:08.900
 these

00:48:08.900 --> 00:48:09.180
 things

00:48:09.180 --> 00:48:09.480
 is to

00:48:09.480 --> 00:48:10.019
 acknowledge

00:48:10.019 --> 00:48:11.160
 that we

00:48:11.160 --> 00:48:11.580
 are sinners

00:48:11.579 --> 00:48:11.900
 and that

00:48:11.900 --> 00:48:12.420
 we need

00:48:12.420 --> 00:48:12.900
 this

00:48:12.900 --> 00:48:13.860
 and so

00:48:13.860 --> 00:48:14.239
 we need

00:48:14.239 --> 00:48:14.599
 to repent

00:48:14.599 --> 00:48:15.099
 of our

00:48:15.099 --> 00:48:15.559
 pride

00:48:15.559 --> 00:48:16.299
 and I

00:48:16.299 --> 00:48:16.699
 want us

00:48:16.699 --> 00:48:17.059
 to spend

00:48:17.059 --> 00:48:17.460
 some time

00:48:17.460 --> 00:48:17.880
 as we are

00:48:17.880 --> 00:48:18.360
 doing this

00:48:18.360 --> 00:48:18.880
 to reflect

00:48:18.880 --> 00:48:19.239
 on that

00:48:19.239 --> 00:48:19.819
 ask the

00:48:19.819 --> 00:48:20.139
 Lord

00:48:20.139 --> 00:48:20.880
 it is a

00:48:20.880 --> 00:48:21.139
 scary

00:48:21.139 --> 00:48:21.500
 prayer

00:48:21.500 --> 00:48:21.980
 but ask

00:48:21.980 --> 00:48:22.239
 him

00:48:22.239 --> 00:48:23.299
 Lord

00:48:23.299 --> 00:48:23.759
 where am

00:48:23.759 --> 00:48:23.880
 I

00:48:23.880 --> 00:48:24.319
 proud

00:48:24.319 --> 00:48:25.299
 in my

00:48:25.299 --> 00:48:25.699
 life

00:48:25.699 --> 00:48:26.699
 show me

00:48:26.699 --> 00:48:26.960
 my

00:48:26.960 --> 00:48:27.420
 pride

00:48:27.420 --> 00:48:28.659
 but as

00:48:28.659 --> 00:48:29.079
 you come

00:48:29.079 --> 00:48:29.539
 to this

00:48:29.539 --> 00:48:30.219
 also

00:48:30.219 --> 00:48:30.900
 recognize

00:48:30.900 --> 00:48:31.920
 and receive

00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:32.519
 this as a

00:48:32.519 --> 00:48:32.940
 gift of

00:49:07.680 --> 00:49:08.099
 Christ

00:49:08.099 --> 00:49:08.539
 if you

 have said

00:49:09.519 --> 00:49:10.039
 yes

00:49:10.039 --> 00:49:11.239
 I know

00:49:11.239 --> 00:49:11.679
 that I'm

00:49:11.679 --> 00:49:11.980
 a sinner

00:49:11.980 --> 00:49:12.400
 and I

00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:12.579
 know

00:49:12.579 --> 00:49:13.000
 that I

00:49:13.000 --> 00:49:13.279
 need

00:49:13.279 --> 00:49:13.759
 a savior

00:49:13.759 --> 00:49:15.860
 if you

00:49:15.860 --> 00:49:16.139
 are a

00:49:16.139 --> 00:49:16.400
 Christian

00:49:16.400 --> 00:49:17.380
 then come

00:49:17.380 --> 00:49:19.039
 and partake

00:49:19.039 --> 00:49:19.500

00:49:19.500 --> 00:49:19.839
 part of

00:49:19.839 --> 00:49:20.159
 this

00:49:20.159 --> 00:49:21.860
 if you

00:49:21.860 --> 00:49:23.239
 have not

00:49:23.239 --> 00:49:23.659
 made that

00:49:23.659 --> 00:49:24.059
 decision

00:49:24.059 --> 00:49:24.500
 if you

00:49:24.500 --> 00:49:24.860
 are a

00:49:24.860 --> 00:49:25.139
 visitor

00:49:25.139 --> 00:49:26.159
 if church

00:49:26.159 --> 00:49:26.500
 has been

00:49:26.500 --> 00:49:27.079
 more cultural

00:49:27.079 --> 00:49:27.519
 for you

00:49:27.519 --> 00:49:27.900
 or if you're

00:49:27.900 --> 00:49:28.279
 exploring

00:49:28.279 --> 00:49:28.860
 Christianity

00:49:28.860 --> 00:49:29.679
 then we

00:49:29.679 --> 00:49:30.000
 would say

00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:30.719
 don't take

00:49:30.719 --> 00:49:31.380

00:49:32.099 --> 00:49:32.639
 and drink

00:49:32.639 --> 00:49:33.119
 today

00:49:33.119 --> 00:49:33.719
 because

00:49:33.719 --> 00:49:34.559
 by doing

00:49:34.559 --> 00:49:34.799
 so

00:49:34.799 --> 00:49:35.219
 that's an

00:49:35.219 --> 00:49:35.659
 expression

00:49:35.659 --> 00:49:36.279
 of faith

00:49:36.279 --> 00:49:37.599
 and instead

00:49:37.599 --> 00:49:38.039
 we would

00:49:38.039 --> 00:49:38.619
 have you

00:49:38.619 --> 00:49:39.339
 meditate

00:49:39.339 --> 00:49:40.059
 on what

00:49:40.059 --> 00:49:40.759
 this means

00:49:40.759 --> 00:49:43.339
 so

00:49:43.339 --> 00:49:45.860
 so as

00:49:45.860 --> 00:49:46.259
 we go

00:49:46.259 --> 00:49:46.779
 let me

00:49:46.779 --> 00:49:47.400

00:49:48.440 --> 00:49:49.019

00:49:49.019 --> 00:49:49.599
 if there's

00:49:49.599 --> 00:49:49.900
 anyone

00:49:49.900 --> 00:49:50.559
 downstairs

00:49:50.559 --> 00:49:51.279
 who needs

00:49:51.279 --> 00:49:51.659
 to come

00:49:51.659 --> 00:49:52.179
 up to

00:49:52.179 --> 00:49:52.900

00:49:54.900 --> 00:49:55.400
 celebration

00:49:55.400 --> 00:49:55.920

00:49:55.920 --> 00:49:56.839
 extend that

00:49:56.839 --> 00:49:57.420
 invitation
