What does humility look like?

Humility means remembering that we are valuable and other people are too. We can listen, learn and share credit. We do not have to be the most important person in the room.

When your group makes a good model, mention how each person helped instead of taking all the credit.

Talk about it

Verses to remember

doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself; each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.

Philippians 2:3–4 ↗ · World English Bible Classic

A little context

Philippians 2:1–8 connects humility with care for other people's interests and the example of Christ. It does not teach that a person has no worth or should accept mistreatment.
