This week, we continue our sermon series on Metanoia confronting the pervasive problem of pride in our lives and culture. Drawing from Philippians 2:1-11, we're presented with a radical alternative: Christ-like humility. The passage reveals how our deep-seated insecurity often masquerades as pride, driving us to constantly prove our worth. But true humility, we learn, isn't thinking less of ourselves—it's thinking of ourselves less. Jesus' example of washing His disciples' feet shows us that genuine humility stems from a secure identity in God's love. This teaching invites us to rethink everything, urging us to turn away from self-absorption and towards the interests of others. It's a call to let the transformative power of Christ's sacrificial love melt our hearts and reshape our interactions with the world around us.
