Pastor Lavon Gentry – ”Humility and Success” – Verdugo Community Church August 28, 2022

In his sermon, “Humility and Success,” Pastor Lavon Gentry from Cucamonga Christian Fellowship looks at Luke 14:1, 7 – 14 where Jesus used a dinner held in his honor to remind that God will reward those who show true humility and look after the needs of needs of others. Those who only seek their own success are in the end not going to see these real rewards; they will not inherit the earth. He cautions that we should not confuse feelings of a lack of self worth with being humble. Instead we should follow the example of Jesus, who chose to become human, die, and be resurrected so that we can be rescued from sin. He challenges us to look to Jesus’s example of how to live our lives, not our secular world’s fixation on “success” at any cost.
