INCREASING HUMILITY.

Increasing humility  -  With increasing humility comes increasing spiritual authority.

 Most to least  - The way down is the way up.

 Taking up your cross.

 For the way down in the worlds eyes  - Is the way up in the eyes of God.

 Dead to sin  -  Alive in Christ  -  More than conquerors  - Obedience better than sacrifice  - Worshiping in spirit and truth.

 Being like minded -  Having the same love – One in spirit and purpose -  Without selfish ambition or vain conceit  -  Considering others better than yourself  - Welcoming Strangers.

 Attitude the same as Christ Jesus – Shining as stars  - As a city set on a hill.

 Servants Commissioned by God  -  Appointed unto service  -  Workmen approved by God.

 Not lording it over others.

 Look at how Paul lived for Christ  - Look at his attitude  -  From the least of the apostles to the chief of sinners  -  From a Pharisee of Pharisees to freedom in the Word and spirit.
