True humility involves not thinking of ourselves as higher than we really are. But there's such a thing as false humility as well, where we give less value to ourselves than God says we have. How do we find the balance between the two? The apostle Paul gives us some great examples in 1 Corinthians.​

​Zombies are walking the Earth. No, not literal undead human beings like you see on the television or in the movies. But rather spiritual zombies; i.e. people with a dead faith.

"God's Open Door Policy"
Sermon

​God called the Wise Men to the baby Jesus even though they were not Jews. In fact, these magi were likely astrologers who made a life out of looking to the stars. So God reached out to them where they were and used a star to bring them to the Christ child. Similarly, God reaches out to us where we are and calls people from all different walks of life to come before Jesus and acknowledge Him as Lord.
