Lent: Choosing the Way of Humility - Jo Leutton

Ever feel like you're constantly trying to prove yourself? This message is a breath of fresh air. We dive into what true humility actually looks like: not grovelling or self-deprecation, but having a realistic view of ourselves through God's eyes. The message traces an incredible journey through the Apostle Paul's transformation from a self-assured persecutor to someone who called himself "the foremost of sinners." We see how his growing humility didn't diminish his impact, it amplified it. At the heart of it all is Jesus, who "though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped." His scandalous humility - choosing servanthood over status, death over dominance - becomes our roadmap for living free from the world's expectations. We also meet Moses the Strong, a Desert Father whose journey from violent bandit to compassionate minister shows us that transformation is possible for anyone. The message wraps up with practical challenges: How do you treat people who can't add anything to your life? Can you bless someone this week without anyone knowing?
