How Can You Mortify Your Pride ? ISAIAH 40:1-5

DECEMBER 07 2025 Sermon by Rev. Andrew Mark Adil.
SERMON MAIN IDEA :
When we humble ourselves through repentance and
submission to God’s Word, mortifying our pride, we can
find comfort in Christ’s first advent and hope for His
second.
EX POSITIONAL OUT LINE :
Faith in Christ’s First Advent Offers:
1.A Present Comfort: Forgiveness of the Humble (vv. 1–2)
2.A Future Hope: Exaltation of the Humble (vv. 3–5)
REFLECTION AND APPLICATION:
The Fear of the Lord Leads to:
1.Mortifying Pride: Preparing the Way for the Coming
of the King: How is God’s Word exposing pride in your
thoughts, affections, or responses toward both church
members and outsiders? How does your reaction to
correction or conviction reveal either humble
repentance and teachability or obstinate selfrighteousness? How might deeper submission to
Scripture reshape your desires in fuller alignment with
the Lord’s will?
2.Embodying Humility: Embracing the Humility of the
Incarnate King: How does Christ’s self-emptying
humility confront the ways you cling to personal
agendas, selfish motives, or a sense of selfimportance? In what relationships or circumstances is
the Spirit calling you to consider others more
significant than yourself? How might adopting the
mind of Christ transform your posture toward service,
sacrifice, and unity within our church?
3.Transforming Hope: Walking in the Hope of the
Returning King: How does the certainty that the Lord
will exalt the humble at his return transform your
outlook on present struggles, decisions, and priorities?
Where do you need to cultivate a forward-looking
hope that strengthens humble obedience today? How
does anticipating the revelation of God’s glory
encourage you to persevere in joyful humility in a
world marked by prideful rebellion?
