Gospel in Focus
November 5, 2023 Jesus calls out the hypocrisy of the Pharisees and Scribes. “Whoever exalts himself will be humbled; but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” —Matthew 23:12
Discussion Questions
What does true humility mean to you?
Why do you think people brag or boast? What does it give us?
What are you proud of in your life? Is it hard to practice true humility around it? Why?
