Guy Orbison_ How To Practice Being Humble
Teachers
Lesson Summary
The class opened with an overview of guest speaker Guy Orbison’s ministry background before shifting focus to the biblical foundation of humility. The teacher led the congregation through Philippians 2:5‑8, explaining that Christ, though existing in the form of God, emptied Himself, became a servant, and submitted to death on the cross. By dissecting the Greek terms for “form,” “emptied,” and “bondservant,” the teacher highlighted that humility is an attitude of the mind rather than a passive demeanor. To reinforce the point, the lesson referenced Numbers 12:3, noting Moses as the most humble man on earth, and Matthew 11:29, where Jesus describes Himself as meek and humble‑hearted. The presenter stressed that humility does not preclude leadership or confidence, using modern cultural examples and personal stories to illustrate the difficulty and necessity of adopting Christ‑like humility. The class concluded with practical challenges for believers to cultivate this mindset in everyday interactions, emphasizing that true humility reflects the very attitude of Jesus Himself.
Key Scriptures
Have this attitude in yourselves, which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although he existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a bondservant, and being made in the likeness of men, and being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
