I currently serve as Senior Pastor of Harvest Church in Knoxville, Tn. I was sent out from Trinity Chapel of Knoxville in 1993 accompanied by my wife Sheila our four children Sarah, Hannah, Josiah & Isaac and a handful of bold, brave and committed believers determined to plant our first church. Pioneering is hard work but well worth the journey. That is why we desire to make disciples of Christ who will, like us, also embrace the call to plant churches.

By Grace Know Your Place Part Four

If we wish to be Christ like in our character humility is a must. Jesus humbled Himself, so we too must humble ourselves. This is an act of the will on our part.

True humility at work does not see others as stepping stones for something I need in life. Others do not exist for my benefit, I exist for theirs.

Humility enables me to serve others and feel grateful that I can do so on any level.

Humility enables us to fulfill Philippians 2:14 ¶ Do all things without grumbling or questioning,

Just imagine how much would get done in the kingdom of God if the body of Christ embraced in this type of humility?

In fact the way to be blameless and innocent children of God without blemish in such a generation as we live in can only be realized through humility.

If you want to be relevant in this generation and make your mark as a shining light then humility is the way to do so!

Do you know your place?

On the job? In the home? In the church? In your neighborhood? Among your friends? At school? In society at large? At this season of your life?

How do you respond to those in authority in your life?

It is one of the surest tests we have for evaluating the level of humility we walk in. Christ humbled Himself and became a servant and so will we if we walk in humility.

Superior minded people seek to be served by others, but the humble desire to serve others and delight in the privilege to do so.

By grace know your place and enjoy it!
