Uzziah – What Does Humility Look Like?

2 Chronicles 26:16

Pastor Scott George

August 31, 2025

This week’s message focused on King Uzziah, a man who started strong but fell because of pride. His story is a reminder that humility is not weakness; it is strength under God’s control. Scripture shows us that humility shapes how we view ourselves, how we treat others, and how we walk with God.

As we reflect on Uzziah’s example, these questions invite us to examine our own hearts and discover what living with true humility looks like in everyday life.

Reflecting on the Passage

• Read 2 Chronicles 26:16. How did Uzziah’s pride lead to his downfall, and what warning does this give us today?
• Philippians 2:3–4 calls us to value others above ourselves. How does this passage challenge the way we normally think about success and recognition?
• Proverbs 12:15 says that the wise listen to advice. Why is a teachable spirit a key part of humility?

Personal Application

• When was the last time you struggled with wanting recognition or credit? How did that affect your attitude and actions?
• How do you usually respond when someone points out your weaknesses? What would it look like to admit them with humility?

Exploring Faith

• Gordon B. Hinckley said, “Being humble means recognizing we are not on earth to see how important we can become, but to see how much difference we can make.”

How does this quote reshape your perspective on success?

• Thomas Merton said, “Pride makes us artificial, and humility makes us real.”

Why do you think humility brings out authenticity in people?

Community Impact

• How might God be calling us as a church to model humility in a culture that often celebrates pride?
• How could practicing humility help us resolve conflicts and strengthen unity within our church family?

Closing Thoughts

Uzziah’s story is a sobering reminder that pride can undo even the strongest among us. But humility that listens, forgives, encourages, and gives God the credit, creates space for His strength to shine through our weakness.

This week, let’s choose humility not as a burden but as the path to freedom, authenticity, and joy in Christ.

We hope these questions lead you into deeper conversations with God and with others. Join us again next week for more ways to dig deeper into God’s Word and grow in faith together.
