\nhealthy self-esteem versus arrogant pride?
\nMatthew 11:29\u201330: Why is Jesus\u2019s yoke light? What does He do in your life today that brings
\nrest to your soul? How does knowing Jesus carries your burdens produce a humble dependence
\non Him (humility)?
\nDaniel 2:48\u201349: How did Daniel and his friends demonstrate that humility is merely a lack of
\nambition? What position did the king bestow on him?
\nMatthew 20:20\u201328: What is the path to greatness in the kingdom of God? How did the
\ndisciples\u2019 mother posture for position, and how did Jesus respond to their desire to be
\nrecognized? What does it mean to be a servant or slave?

\nWhat do you learn in this passage about the humility of Christ? In light of that, how are we to

\nexemplify His own teaching here?
\n2 Timothy 2:24\u201326: We live in a quarrelsome world. But what does this passage tell us to do
\ninstead? How is this sometimes the opposite of how the church acts toward outsiders? Why do
\nyou think this is? What role does fear play in the way we treat those who don\u2019t yet know Jesus?
\nJeremiah 29:4\u20137: What is our mandate as exiles on this earth? How does this encouragement
\nhelp you to love your unbelieving neighbors? How does it changed the way you are to view your
\nneighborhood, your city?

\nDeeper walk
\nSelect at least one activity below to complete during the next week.
\n\u2022 Personal Action: Keep your list of three people in a prominent place this week. Pray for them
\nevery time you eat, when you shower, and when you go to sleep.
\n\u2022 Mentoring: We forget that God can work through anyone. If it\u2019s possible, approach an
\nunbelieving friend and ask them what they know about humility. Ask how you can become more
\nhumble.
\n\u2022 Conversation: Instead of talking, this week show your heart for service and watch and see
\nwhat happens. Open doors. Pay for the person behind you in line. Let someone cut you off in
\ntraffic. Then notice the reactions. Sometimes the
\nloudest conversation for the gospel is servant-inspired action.
\n\u2022 Memorization: Write James 4:10 on a small piece of paper. Place it on your mirror so you\u2019re
\nreminded about humility and God\u2019s role in your life as you start your day.
\n\u2022 Pray: Ask God to intervene in the lives of those who are far from Him. Pray that He would
\ngive you the humility to be more understanding, to serve others, and pray for those who
\npersecute you. Ask for an extra dose of kindness this week.
