The Start of our Posture

The Start of our Posture

POSTURE: What is our attitude and approach?

In humility we serve as a critical part in the much bigger picture.

Moving from Confidence to Humble

Part 1 of our Posture

1. Commencement: Confidence is the start of seeing our role in the bigger picture.
1. Confidence: Confidence is not bad when we know who we are and who God made us to be.
2. Pride: When confidence does not view our role  as small in a bigger picture, we are prideful.
3. Co-Working: Understanding the bigger picture, motivates us to work together with others and invite others to join in.
2. Cultivation: How to find our role in the communities we live?
1. Observing: We can learn from others, which includes scripture, church, and world.
2. Contrasting: Not only can we learn from positive examples, we can do the exact opposite of what we view as problematic in others.
3. Testing: By trying and testing ourselves, prayer, and community input, we can actively trust God by living in our active role in the Kingdom of God.
3. How a clock can model and teach us humility, along with proper confidence.
1. Specific: Just like every piece is clock is valuable and important, so are we.
2. Designed: While each part is needed, unless we functionally work together, the goal can not be accomplished.
3. Function: Regardless of drastic differences, the unity in diversity points towards not only the purpose of the Creator, but the Creator Himself.
4. Culmination: How humility provides a balanced view of ourselves.
1. Us: True humility can accurately view our important role in the bigger picture.
2. Ourselves: Likewise, we can know and act rightly towards other who also an equally important role.
3. Together: Proper functional humility is holding in balance ourselves and others as God designed.
