Humbles Itself
“Humble yourselves before the Lord
and he will lift you up.”
-James 4:10
This is the next to last message in the “Church that Heaven Applauds” series. Throughout this series we have been investigating the characteristics and traits of a church that pleases God and causes heaven to rejoice. The trait that we are going to investigate today is that a church that causes heaven to rejoice is one that humbles itself.
A church that heaven applauds is one that humbles itself and does what God calls it to do regardless of whether that mission is flashy, easy, or enjoyable. Then when the moment of need is over, the people simply return to what they were doing as if nothing had happened. In other words, no one demands a reward or special recognition. A humble church is a church that pleases God. It is a church that heaven applauds.
