The Way Up is Down (Sermon)

00:00 / 26:39

What do you want to be successful at? It is something to do with your career, family, relationships or a personal goal? There are different understandings of “success.” Make no mistake about it: our society’s definition is certainly different from God’s. But which are you driving toward?

This sermon looks at the direct and down-to-earth wisdom of James 4:1-10. It encourages us to consider the cardinal virtue of humility, and how God exalts those who live by humble faithfulness. It includes five practical applications that we find within the text.

Mark Batterson writes: “We’re so busy climbing the ladder of success that we fail to realize it’s leaning against the wrong wall.”
