What do the American Colonists, the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey team, and the New York Giants in the 2008 Super Bowl have in common? They were major underdogs who won against all odds!

This weekend at CrossWalk Church, we're continuing our message series called "Stand Out." This week we are going through Daniel chapter 4, and what is shocking is to see the world super power Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar admitting that he was no longer top dog. He praised the true God!

Why the change? He got a dose of humble pie from God, which was actually an act of God's mercy, and he was willing to share his story with his entire kingdom!

However even before that, he had seen day after day the humble example of Daniel, who humbly loved his enemies and humbly served God. This made Daniel stand out in a dog eat dog world. Daniel learned that humble love and humble service even to our enemies can bring about the change in our world we want to see.

As we humbly love those who don't love us and as we humbly serve those who would love to walk all over us, we give our world a glimpse of Jesus, who conquered sin, death and the devil by humbling himself on the cross. Humble love changes people.

See the difference that humility makes as we humbly love others as Jesus first loved us.
