Intro: Of ten best lived lives - Apostle Paul would be on top. God is working out quality of humility in our lives. Humility (humble - not proud or arrogant; modest) is a character quality God wants in us.
I. Paul’s humility in his submission before God. Paul relates the things which God has done among the Gentiles through ministry. 1 Corinthians 1:26-37 and 1 Corinthians 3:5-7.
II. Paul’s humility in his submission to Christian authority Acts 21:20-23. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9, 1 Timothy 5:19.
Paul adapts his behavior- 1 Corinthians 9:19-23.
III. Paul’s humility in his submission meets the needs of others Acts 21:23-26. A positive example of compromise. Paul was willing to adjust his life style to have the opportunity to witness to the needs of other believers so they would grow in Spiritual maturity.
Personal: Tact - a keen sense of what to say or do to avoid giving offense; skill in dealing with difficult or delicate situations. I will consider you. Matthew 8:5-10 is where a Gentile understands God’s authority, submit to one another.
