We put each other before ourselves.
“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.”
Philippians 2:3, ESV
Philippians 2:3, ESV
What does that selfish pride do to us?
“Then the mother of James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus with her sons. She knelt respectfully to ask a favor.
Matthew 20:20, New Living Translation
Matthew 20:20, New Living Translation
“What is your request?” he asked. She replied, “In your Kingdom, please let my two sons sit in places of honor next to you, one on your right and the other on your left.”
Matthew 20:21, NLT
Matthew 20:21, NLT
1. Pride causes us to lose perspective of what really matters!
But Jesus answered by saying to them, “You don’t know what you are asking! Are you able to drink from the bitter cup of suffering I am about to drink?” “Oh yes,” they replied, “we are able!”
Matthew 20:22, NLT
Matthew 20:22, NLT
2. Pride confuses leadership with power.
Jesus told them, “You will indeed drink from my bitter cup. But I have no right to say who will sit on my right or my left. My Father has prepared those places for the ones he has chosen.”
Matthew 20:23, NLT
Matthew 20:23, NLT
3. Pride causes division.
When the ten other disciples heard what James and John had asked, they were indignant.
Matthew 20:24, NLT
Matthew 20:24, NLT
But Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers in this world lord it over their people, and officials flaunt their authority over those under them.
Matthew 20:25, NLT
Matthew 20:25, NLT
But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant,
and whoever wants to be first among you must become your slave.
Matthew 20:26-27, NLT
and whoever wants to be first among you must become your slave.
Matthew 20:26-27, NLT
The key to humility is serving!
Serving makes us like Jesus.
For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Matthew 20:28, NLT
Matthew 20:28, NLT
One day some parents brought their little children to Jesus so he could touch and bless them. But when the disciples saw this, they scolded the parents for bothering him.
Then Jesus called for the children and said to the disciples, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. 17 I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.”
Luke 18:15–17, NLT
Then Jesus called for the children and said to the disciples, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. 17 I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.”
Luke 18:15–17, NLT
But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant,
and whoever wants to be first among you must become your slave.

Did I serve others without seeking recognition?
