*Biblical humility is not weakness. It is strength surrendered to God.

*Humility begins with an honest, sober self-evaluation -- neither inflating nor deflating who God made you to be.

*The cross is the common ground that unites the church across every difference of background, culture, and experience.

*Jesus is the ultimate model of humility. Though equal with God, he made himself nothing, took on human form, and died for sinners (Philippians 2:5-8).

*When the church walks in genuine humility and love, the world takes notice.
