Episode 46. In this episode, Pastor Zach talks about a subject that the Lord has put on his heart lately: humility.

Scripture References:

• Proverbs 11:2; Proverbs 16:18
• Mark 10:42-45
• Philippians 2:1-11
• James 4:6, 10

How can we guard our hearts against pride and grow in humility?

• Meditate deeply on Christ and the gospel
• Be involved in serving others in some kind of capacity
• Learn to do things excellently not for the sake of recognition or praise, but strictly for the glory of God à “Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man... It is the comparison that makes you proud: the pleasure of being above the rest. Once the element of competition is gone, pride is gone.” – C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
• Confess your sins often, both to God and to others
