Pastor Greg shows us how Jesus taught that those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted (Luke 14:11, 18:14). Humility isn’t weakness—it’s Christlikeness. It’s choosing the low place, seeing others as valuable, and depending on God, not self.

We’re not called to feel humble—we’re called to live humbly:

• Serve others

• Let go of pride and self-promotion

• Submit to God and one another

• Recognize your need for grace

• Come before God regularly in repentance

True humility reflects the heart of Jesus. And in God’s timing—He lifts the humble up.

This Sunday, we look at one of Jesus’ most surprising parables—a story that shows us God’s Kingdom isn’t about earning, but grace. Whether early or late to the field, all who follow Christ receive the same reward: eternal life.

Pastor Greg will deliver a sermon today on what is arguably the most widely recognized parable: the Good Samaritan. Often, when this parable is encountered, a crucial dialogue and profound truth conveyed at its conclusion are overlooked. Jesus instructs us on the essence of being a 'good neighbor,' a truth that the world desperately needs to witness actively demonstrated by His disciples and followers. As followers of Christ, we are called to embody a radical love and selfless service, a call echoed in the timeless words of the Micah Mandate found in Micah 6:8? The Good Samaritan parable is a vivid illustration of this mandate in action, urging us to look beyond conventional boundaries and extend compassion to those in need, regardless of their background or our preconceived notions. It challenges us to move beyond passive understanding and actively engage in the lives of others, demonstrating the transformative power of God's love through our tangible actions.

Continuing his sermon series on the parables of Jesus, Pastor Greg today delivers the second part of a two-part message focusing on the theme of the Lord’s return. Building upon the previous message, today's exploration centers on the Parable of the Talents, found in Matthew 25. This parable unfolds by examining the actions of three distinct individuals entrusted with their master’s property during his absence. Through their varied responses, the parable illuminates the crucial principle of investing in the Kingdom of God while vigilantly awaiting His return. Pastor Greg will delve into the specific actions and motivations of these servants, drawing out practical applications for contemporary believers seeking to live faithfully and productively in light of the Lord's promised return. The message will encourage a deep reflection on the importance of utilizing the gifts,abilities, and resources entrusted to each individual for the advancement of God’s Kingdom.
