Center Church

Summary
Peter calls believers to clothe themselves with humility as a defining characteristic of those transformed by the gospel. Applied to church leadership, following, and facing adversity, humility proves central to the church's countercultural witness in a proud world.
Highlights
The essence of gospel humility is not thinking more of myself or thinking less of myself, it is simply thinking of myself less.
When the church is absolutely different from the world, she invariably attracts it. It is then that the world is made to listen to her message, though it may hate it at first.
The heart of gospel humility says this: God, I see your love for me in the message of the gospel, and therefore I trust you more than I trust myself.
