Humility
When Jesus "made himself nothing ... taking the nature of a servant," He modeled, for all believers, true humility. Murray calls this "our true nobility" and "the distinguishing feature of discipleship." In twelve brief but powerful chapters, Murray journeys through Scripture and Christ's life, underscoring the utmost need for humility---as opposed to pride---in the Christian's life. With insightful, penetrating clarity, Murray calls all Christians to turn from pride, empty themselves, and study the character of Christ to be filled with His grace. Often called the best work on humility ever written.

Today we get right back into First Corinthians with pastor Ed Taylor on Abounding Grace. We’re about to open chapter two, and receive an awesome model for ministry. Whether you’re preaching the Word behind the pulpit, leading a small group Bible study, or directing traffic in the church parking lot, it’s important to realize we’re not to draw attention to ourselves. All the glory and honor is to go to God, as we serve Him. That was something the apostle Paul understood very well.

In need of some wisdom today? Sure, we all are! And the place to turn for it is the Lord. At the beginning of his reign David modeled this for us.

We're delving into some rather tough subjects: Death, Suicide and Cremation! Life lessons come in a variety of ways, and sometimes from unsuspecting sources. David would learn a valuable lesson from the life of Saul as we’re about to see today. God used King Saul in David’s life to teach a critical lesson, and that is what the end of the wicked will be and what unbridled sin leads to. Saul didn’t end his life well, but that doesn’t have to be your story.
