APRIL 19 BIBLE STORY SUMMARY
In Philippians 2:3-8 Paul explains how Jesus is the ultimate example of humility. As you deal with one another, you should think and act as Jesus did . . . He was humble and obeyed God completely. He did this even though it led to his death, (NIrV). As God’s Son, Jesus was equal with God, but instead of using that to His advantage, Jesus put us first and made a way for us to have a relationship with God. That's why our Bottom Line this week is: Put others first because Jesus put you first. When it comes to our interactions with others, we should remember what Jesus did for us. Rather than thinking we’re the best or deserve the most, we should remember that Jesus deserved everything but gave it up because He loved us so much. When we put others first, we show them a glimpse of what Jesus did for the entire world.

"HUMILITY WINS" By Mike JeffriesAnyone who ever played for UCLA Basketball Coach John Wooden, one of the greatest coaches of all time, knew that he was more about building character than he was about winning basketball games—although he did both pretty well. His teams won ten championships during a 12-year period, the final one in his last year of coaching in 1975. He was famous for his “pyramid of success,” fifteen different elements like “competitive greatness” and “teamwork.” But Wooden said one quality was more important than all the rest and made the rest possible: unselfish humility. Wooden would tell his players: “Talent is God-given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.” Be humble. Be grateful. Be careful. Sounds like he had the balance between ego and humility down pretty well . . .

FAMILY DISCUSSION:
Read this month's memory verse: “Don’t do anything only to get ahead. Don’t do it because you are proud. Instead, be humble. Value
others more than yourselves.” PHILIPPIANS 2:3, NIrV
Bedtime "Talk Time":
Jesus humbly gave up His life for us. But for most of us, showing humility will look different. It looks like playing with a younger sibling or allowing others to use your stuff. Share two ways you could put others first this week. Ask God to give you the power to let go of some things, in order to put others first.
