Act With Humility

This week is the last lesson from 1 Peter, entitled “Act with Humility”, and it’s based on 1 Peter 5:1-14. A past lesson “avoid arrogance” (opposite of humility) with PPT slides may give you some alternate ideas for teaching this week. Another past lesson from Hampton Road Baptist Church teaching us to “Consider Others” (with PPT slides that I used) may also be helpful in your preparations this week.

Also, here are some past blog entries, which mention “humility”, or “consider others”. These verses from 1 Peter also present an opportunity to discuss Baptist church polity, but that may take the lesson in a different direction.

I love this little video. It shows the opposite side of Christian humility:

Interesting video David. Thanks for sharing it!

Being a PC person, I've never much liked Apple ads. Seems like our society likes to promote the idea of achievement, but when something is wildly successful like the PC, others get jealous and want to "bring it down."

One definition of humility is to demonstrate dependence on God and respect for others. What idea for a video would show this?
