Be Humble by Pastor Ty


It’s a New Year! Sermons on Growing, Serving, Learning, Giving, and Commitment are to be expected, you know, the things that make you better and more like Jesus. Right? Not today…


In the Bible, Humility is defined as a heart attitude characterized by meekness, and an acknowledgment of our need for God. It involves submitting to God's will and trusting in His sovereignty. Humility is not just about modesty; it is essential for cultivating a closer relationship with God and promotes love, kindness, and forgiveness in our interactions with others.


The Bible teaches that true greatness comes from humility, as exemplified in Matthew 18:4, where Jesus states that those who humble themselves will be exalted.


One of my favorite reminders of this is: "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up." In James 4:10 

Start with Humility first and Growing, Serving, Learning, Giving, and Commitment will come naturally. 2026 may be your best year ever.

Hope and Perspective by Pastor Ty In the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life” we see a great change in the character, George Bailey. What is different about George Bailey's life after Clarence (Angel) shows him what life would have been like without him? In terms of circumstances, absolutely nothing. At this point, for all he knows his life is exactly as it was a few hours before; Clarence did nothing to change that. The Bailey Building and Loan has still lost $8000- it could be forced to close and people could lose their life savings and jobs, rumors of embezzlement – the family ruined – George’s Arrest -Scandal! But George has changed! He has a new Attitude… a new Perspective on what’s really important Family, Friends and his Faith in God. It’s easy to forget in the movie that the real change has nothing to do with money and affection on Christmas Eve. The real change is within his soul. For the first time George Bailey is looking at life with new eyes. Same for a group of shepherds at the first Christmas – they had a change I attitude/perspective in Luke 2 the angels put on a celebration to announce the birth of Jesus. The shepherds went and found the baby Jesus. Their station in life had not changed but their attitude had: The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. (V20) May this Christmas give us a new perspective and a vertical focus all year long.
