Author: Gospel Light July 28, 2026 Duration: 38:42

By Pastor Jason Lim

As elders lead humbly by example, the flock is called to submit.

The church must be clothed with humility in suffering.

1. ENGAGING WITH HUMILITY

Submit to elders, even when you disagree.

2. ENROBING WITH HUMILITY

Put on humility like a servant’s apron.

Let servanthood shape our posture, practice, and identity.

3. ENCOURAGING HUMILITY

Peter cites Proverbs 3:34.

God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.

4. ENDURING IN HUMILITY

Accept difficult circumstances under God’s mighty hand,

trusting Him while awaiting Christ’s return.

5. ENTRUSTING IN HUMILITY

Cast every anxiety upon God, practising

the ABCDs explained in the sermon.

In suffering, trust and obey God. Follow Jesus in humility,

inviting sinners to cast their sins upon Him.
