I Am a Pickle

In the conversation for Sunday, October 9, 2016, Pastor Stuart Nice shares with us the essential task of mastering humility by overcoming pride.

Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. (NASB)
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
     Who, being in very nature God,
     did not consider equality with God
     something to be used to his own advantage;
     rather, he made himself nothing
     by taking the very nature of a servant.  (NIV)
Philippians 2:3-7

A note about the recording of the Sacred Reading: 
The reader will pause between each of the four readings. The pauses have been left in the recording so that the listener can experience the rhythm of the gathering and even participate in the reading.

Sacred Reading Text

As holy people whom God has chosen and loved, be sympathetic, kind, humble, gentle, and patient. Put up with each other, and forgive each other if anyone has a complaint. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Above all, be loving. This ties everything together perfectly. Also, let Christ’s peace control you. God has called you into this peace by bringing you into one body. Be thankful.
Colossians 3:12-15, GW
