Opening Prayer: Almighty God, You sent Your Son into the world to be the ultimate example of humility, conform me to His image, and teach me to follow His example, I pray in His Name, Amen.

Read: Matthew 16:24-27

Reflect: How do you understand these words of Jesus in light of Paul’s call to radical humility in Philippians 2:5-11? How are you giving up your life for Jesus’ sake?

Prayer: for the church, for others, and for myself

Hymn: “We will Glorify”

We will glorify the King of Kings;
We will glorify the Lamb.
We will glorify the Lord of Lords,
Who is the great I AM.

Lord Jehovah reigns in majesty;
We will bow before His throne.
We will worship Him in righteousness;
We will worship Him alone.

He is Lord of heaven, Lord of earth;
He is Lord of all who live.
He is lord above the universe;
All praise to Him we give.

Hallelujah to the King of Kings;
Hallelujah to the Lamb.
Hallelujah to the Lord of Lords,
Who is the great I AM.

Closing Prayer: Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord (2 Peter 1:2)
