Speaker 1: Hey, thanks for joining us today on Pastor Rick's Daily Hope,
Speaker 1: the Bible Teaching Ministry of Rick Warren. And today we're
Speaker 1: continuing our series called The Habits of Happiness. In this series,
Speaker 1: Rick dives into the Book of Philippians and helps you
Speaker 1: discover God's path to true and lasting happiness. Let's get
Speaker 1: right to it with part one of a message called
Speaker 1: the Humble Path to Happiness.
Speaker 2: Today, we're in part three of a series, the Habits
Speaker 2: of Happiness, and we're going verse by verse through the
Speaker 2: Book of Philippians. If you were to go to out
Speaker 2: on the patio, or if you were to go out
Speaker 2: to some mall and ask people, what do you think
Speaker 2: is the path to happiness? Most people would probably say
Speaker 2: something like this, Get an education, get a job, get married,
Speaker 2: have a family, make a lot of money, retire. That's
Speaker 2: the path of happiness. But I know a lot of
Speaker 2: people have done all those things and they're not happy
Speaker 2: at all. The Bible says that the path to happiness
Speaker 2: is something you're never in your wildest idea, I can imagine.
Speaker 2: The path to happiness is through humility. He said, what
Speaker 2: how in the world would humility make me happy? There
Speaker 2: are many many reasons why humility is the key that
Speaker 2: unlocks true happiness and why pride is the thing that
Speaker 2: guarantees unhappiness in your life. And I could give you
Speaker 2: many different reasons, but let me just give you one,
Speaker 2: and we're going to focus on it this weekend. One
Speaker 2: of the greatest kill joys in life. One of the
Speaker 2: greatest causes of unhappiness is conflict. Everybody agree with that
Speaker 2: conflict when I mean, you could have a lot of money,
Speaker 2: you could be famous, you could be successful, But if
Speaker 2: you have conflict in your relationships, your life is unhappy.
Speaker 2: Everything can be going great in your life and you
Speaker 2: have an argument with somebody you love, and all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, that happiness just flies out the window. If
Speaker 2: you're ever going to learn to be happy on a
Speaker 2: long term basis, you're going to learn have to how
Speaker 2: to reduce, how to eliminate conflict in your life. And
Speaker 2: that's where humility comes in. The Bible tells us that
Speaker 2: the habit of humility is the key to reducing conflict
Speaker 2: in your life, because pride is the thing that causes conflict.
Speaker 2: On your outline, the Bible says in Proverbs thirteen ten,
Speaker 2: pride always leads to arguments. How many of you agree
Speaker 2: with that verse? Yeah? You know this little background in
Speaker 2: this verse. This was the first verse K and I
Speaker 2: memorized when we got married thirty eight years ago. We
Speaker 2: actually memorized it on our honeymoon because we needed it.
Speaker 2: On our honeymoon, because my wife and I are so different,
Speaker 2: we argued about everything. We just see everything so differently.
Speaker 2: And so the first verse we learned was only by
Speaker 2: pride comes contention, or in the modern translation, pride always
Speaker 2: leads to arguments. Now, in this passage that we're going
Speaker 2: to look at this weekend, Philippians two one to eleven,
Speaker 2: we have the greatest explanation ever written on planet Earth
Speaker 2: about the relationship between humility and harmony and happiness. And
Speaker 2: this passage tells us first, it says in the first
Speaker 2: couple verses that harmony creates happiness, and that happiness comes
Speaker 2: from harmony. And then we learn in the next few
Speaker 2: verses that humility creates harmony, and in the last verses
Speaker 2: it talks about how Jesus modeled both. I'm going to
Speaker 2: read you the passage right now, and why don't you
Speaker 2: listen to see if you can pick up these themes,
Speaker 2: the four kinds of harmony, the four keys of humility,
Speaker 2: and the three examples of Jesus. Listen to this Philippians,
Speaker 2: Chapter two. My life in Christ give you strength? Does
Speaker 2: His love comfort you? Do we share together in His spirit?
Speaker 2: Do you have mercy and kindness? If so, make me
Speaker 2: very happy. Remember he's talking about the habits of happiness,
Speaker 2: the habits of joy. If so, make me very happy
Speaker 2: by having the same thoughts, sharing the same love, having
Speaker 2: one mind, and being of one purpose. When you do things,
Speaker 2: do not let selfishness or pride be your guide. Instead,
Speaker 2: be humble and give more honor to others than to yourselves.
Speaker 2: Don't be interested only in your own life, but be
Speaker 2: interested in the lives of others. In your lives, you
Speaker 2: must think and act like Jesus Christ. Now, Christ himself
Speaker 2: was like God and everything, but he did not think
Speaker 2: that being equal with God was something to be demanded. Instead,
Speaker 2: he gave up his place with God, and he made
Speaker 2: himself nothing. And he was born to be a human
Speaker 2: being and became a servant. And while he was living
Speaker 2: on earth as a man, he humbled himself and became
Speaker 2: fully obedient to God the Father, even when it caused
Speaker 2: his death, the death on the cross. So then God
Speaker 2: raised him up to the highest place. And God made
Speaker 2: him his name greater than every other name, so that
Speaker 2: every knee will bow to the name of Jesus, everyone
Speaker 2: in heaven and on earth and under the earth. Now,
Speaker 2: one day everyone will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord
Speaker 2: and bring glory to the Father. Now, this is a
Speaker 2: very very powerful passage, and it talks about how humility
Speaker 2: leads to harmony and harmony leads to happiness. First, Paul
Speaker 2: says that God's model for relationships, God's model for your friendships,
Speaker 2: for your marriage, and any other relationship is four kinds
Speaker 2: of harmony. It's there on your outline. In verse two,
Speaker 2: Paul says, you will make my joy complete. In other words,
Speaker 2: you will create happiness. You will make me happy. You'll
Speaker 2: make yourself happy. You'll make my joy complete by having
Speaker 2: the same mind, sharing the same love, being united in spirit,
Speaker 2: and intent on one purpose. These are the four kinds
Speaker 2: of intimacy God wants you to have in your marriage,
Speaker 2: the four kinds of unity, the four kinds of harmony
Speaker 2: God wants you to have in every true relationship. He says,
Speaker 2: I want you to have the same mind. That's mental harmony.
Speaker 2: You know you're united in thinking. He said, I want
Speaker 2: you to share the same love. That's emotional harmony. He said,
Speaker 2: I want you to be united in spirit. That's spiritual harmony.
Speaker 2: And he says, I want you to be intent on
Speaker 2: one purpose. That's directional harmony. We're headed in the same
Speaker 2: direction together. Can you imagine having a marriage like that?
Speaker 2: He said, well, yeah, that'd be great. Why don't we
Speaker 2: have it? Because we don't do the things God tells
Speaker 2: us to do. And in the next You versus, Paul
Speaker 2: explains that humility is the path the harmony, and harmony
Speaker 2: is the path the happiness. Now, I don't know if
Speaker 2: you're going through conflict right now, but everybody's had conflict
Speaker 2: and relationships in their lives. And if you've ever gotten
Speaker 2: tired of the conflict, I'm just tired of always been
Speaker 2: in conflict. You picked a good weekend to come to
Speaker 2: church because we're going to look at how to reduce
Speaker 2: conflict with others. This is how to have more harmony
Speaker 2: and how to have more happiness in your relationships. And
Speaker 2: I want to say this, this is guaranteed to work.
Speaker 2: This absolutely will reduce the conflict in your life and
Speaker 2: will increase the happiness and harmony in your life if
Speaker 2: you'll do it. But I need to give you three warnings.
Speaker 2: First place is that what I'm going to teach you
Speaker 2: this weekend is one hundred percent radically counterculture. It's the
Speaker 2: exact opposite of everything you've been taught in your life.
Speaker 2: Our culture teaches the exact opposite of what the Bible
Speaker 2: says about relationships. Now, there aren't that many really successful
Speaker 2: relationships out in the world, are there. I mean, when
Speaker 2: I say give me five really strong marriages, you'd have
Speaker 2: a hard time doing that, the kind of marriages that
Speaker 2: have mental, emotional, spiritual, and directional harmony. Most people aren't
Speaker 2: very good at relationships in the world. Why because we
Speaker 2: don't follow what God tells us to do, and what
Speaker 2: God tells us to do is the exact opposite of
Speaker 2: what our culture tells us to do. Second reason I
Speaker 2: need to warn you is because this what I'm going
Speaker 2: to teach you to do isn't natural. It doesn't feel
Speaker 2: like the right thing to do, but it is the
Speaker 2: right thing to do because we naturally want to indulge
Speaker 2: ourselves and God says no, that's the wrong way. And
Speaker 2: third is if I teach you this, I know for
Speaker 2: a fact that this week you will be tested in it.
Speaker 2: So I'm just warning you. Get ready. You're going to
Speaker 2: have some conflict in relationships this week, okay, because God
Speaker 2: is going to give you an opportunity to practice these
Speaker 2: four habits of humble happiness. Now. The first of the
Speaker 2: four habits for reducing conflict in your life, Paul says,
Speaker 2: is this, you right, write it down. Never let my
Speaker 2: pride be my guide. And no matter what the relationship is,
Speaker 2: I should never let my pride be my guide. Why
Speaker 2: because the pride is the root of every other sin.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you know that pride is the
Speaker 2: root of every other sin. Pride is the sin that
Speaker 2: got Satan got kicked out of heaven. Every conflict that
Speaker 2: you go through has an element of pride mixed into it.
Speaker 2: What is the middle letter of the word pride in English?
Speaker 2: I what's the middle letter of the word crime? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 2: what's the middle letter of the word sin? I you
Speaker 2: have an eye problem. I want what I want and
Speaker 2: I want it now, and that causes all kinds of problems.
Speaker 2: Never let pride be my guide now again, this is
Speaker 2: counterculture because today in our society, in modern culture, we
Speaker 2: reward narcissism. We do the most arrogant athletes, the most
Speaker 2: arrogant celebrities, the most self centered entertainers are the ones
Speaker 2: we pay the most money to and pay the most
Speaker 2: attention to. It's the way our society works today. So
Speaker 2: this is totally counterculture because today the people with the
Speaker 2: biggest egos get the biggest money and they get the
Speaker 2: most press. Now, the Bible says this in Philippians two three.
Speaker 2: Don't do anything from selfish ambition or vain conceit circle
Speaker 2: the word anything, don't do anything. Do you realize how
Speaker 2: hard it is to keep that verse, don't do anything
Speaker 2: from selfish ambition or vain conceite. Paul says that there
Speaker 2: are two conflict creating kinds of pride. One of them
Speaker 2: is selfish ambition and one is vain conceit. Let me
Speaker 2: explain them a different way. Selfish ambition is saying it's
Speaker 2: all about me, and vain conceit means I'm always right.
Speaker 2: So when you have those two attitudes it's all about
Speaker 2: me and I'm always right, you have selfish ambition and
Speaker 2: vain conceit. Selfish ambition says, it's all about my needs.
Speaker 2: It's all about my wants, it's all about my fears,
Speaker 2: it's all about my success, it's all about my career.
Speaker 2: We know people who've walked out of marriage just because
Speaker 2: the marriage was standing in the way of their career.
Speaker 2: We know that sometimes boyfriends choose girlfriends simply because of
Speaker 2: the image it gives them. They don't really care about them.
Speaker 2: They just they're eye candy. Or girlfriends choose boyfriends because
Speaker 2: it it's all about the image. It's not about the relationship.
Speaker 2: It's all about me, And they're not really caring about
Speaker 2: the relationship. They're caring about themselves. The Bible says that
Speaker 2: selfish ambition causes all kinds of problems and James three
Speaker 2: point sixteen it says this, wherever there's jealousy or selfish ambition,
Speaker 2: you'll find circle, this confusion, and every other kind of evil.
Speaker 2: When you find confusion at your worksplace, confusion in the office,
Speaker 2: you can know that selfish ambition and jealousy are causing it.
Speaker 2: When you find confusion in your home, you can know
Speaker 2: that selfishness is causing that. This causes confusion everywhere It
Speaker 2: causes it in marriages, It causes it in politics, It
Speaker 2: causes it in church, it causes it in homeowners' associations,
Speaker 2: it causes us in the shutdown of governments. If you
Speaker 2: won't play ball with me the way I want to
Speaker 2: play ball, I'll take my ball and go home. It's
Speaker 2: all about me selfish ambition. And then vain concede is
Speaker 2: that attitude of I'm always right and I'm always right
Speaker 2: and you're always wrong. That's being conceited. Now. I love
Speaker 2: the Living Bible version of this verse. There on your outline,
Speaker 2: it says, don't live to make a good impression on others,
Speaker 2: And the today's English version says, don't do anything from
Speaker 2: a cheap desire to boast. That would be a good
Speaker 2: verse to look at before you post on Instagram again,
Speaker 2: or Facebook or any other social media. I saw I
Speaker 2: read an article a while back by Seana bill Heibel's daughter,
Speaker 2: which she said is a great article called stop tweeting
Speaker 2: your perfect life, because it is a great temptation on
Speaker 2: internet to make yourself look better than you are, to
Speaker 2: appear better than you are. And we don't just do
Speaker 2: that on the internet, but we do it in lots
Speaker 2: of different areas. Never let my pride be my guide.
Speaker 2: Don't give in too vain conceit I'm always right, or
Speaker 2: to selfish ambition, it's all it's always about me. It's
Speaker 2: about my needs. The husband who says I don't care
Speaker 2: about my wife's needs, it's my needs. I don't care
Speaker 2: about my kids needs. It's my needs. That's called selfish ambition,
Speaker 2: you know. In Galatians, another book that Paul wrote, Paul
Speaker 2: lists about seventeen effects of living with pride. He calls
Speaker 2: it the works of the flesh. He says, when we
Speaker 2: live this self centered, this self concern, the self indulgent life,
Speaker 2: he said, it shows up in all kinds of ways,
Speaker 2: and he starts off by saying things like self indulgence
Speaker 2: shows up in sexual immorality and wild partying and getting
Speaker 2: drunk and all. You would expect those things. But most
Speaker 2: of the things of the list are actually the sins
Speaker 2: that we have to deal with, relational sins. Let me
Speaker 2: read them to you. Galatians five, nineteen twenty twenty one
Speaker 2: says this our self indulgent nature, in other words, my
Speaker 2: my natural desire to think of me and not about you,
Speaker 2: to think I'm number one, and not worry about what
Speaker 2: you think. Our self indulgent nature shows itself in conflict.
Speaker 2: Check that one quarreling, check that one jealousy, outburst of anger,
Speaker 2: selfish ambition. It shows up in causing divisions among people
Speaker 2: and the feeling that everyone else is wrong except those
Speaker 2: in your little own group. You know, anybody like that.
Speaker 2: That's because they let their pride be their guide. Paul says,
Speaker 2: if you're gonna have happiness, you gotta have harmony, and
Speaker 2: if you're gonna have harmony, you gotta have humility. And
Speaker 2: so never let pride be your guide. Now, the second
Speaker 2: habit is the flip side of it. It's just another
Speaker 2: way of saying the same thing. But it's just write
Speaker 2: it down. Be humble or our stumble. I must be
Speaker 2: humble or our stumble. If I'm not humble, my relationship
Speaker 2: will crumble. Humility is the is the basis and foundation
Speaker 2: of every great marriage and every great friendship, because in humility,
Speaker 2: you don't act like you know it all, and you
Speaker 2: treat each other with respect, and you give each other
Speaker 2: more honor, and you don't go fifty to fifty marriage
Speaker 2: is not a fifty to fifty it's one hundred and ten,
Speaker 2: hundred and ten. You give one hundred and ten and
Speaker 2: your spouse gives one hundred and ten, and you try
Speaker 2: to outdo each other in honor Philippians two, verse three.
Speaker 2: The next verse is this. It says, instead of don't
Speaker 2: do anything from selfish ambition or vain conceit, it says, instead,
Speaker 2: be humble and give more honor to others than to yourself. Now, again,
Speaker 2: that's the opposite about our culture teachers. Our culture teaches,
Speaker 2: I gotta do what's best for me. I got to
Speaker 2: look out for number one. I gotta think about me.
Speaker 2: I've got to live for myself. I better do what
Speaker 2: makes me happy. If it feels good, do it. And
Speaker 2: all these selfish, self centered, narcissistic rules that we've been
Speaker 2: taught throughout life. And Paul comes along and says, no,
Speaker 2: be humble and give more honor to others than yourself.
Speaker 2: A circular word humble, because humility is probably the most
Speaker 2: misunderstood quality that we need in life. A lot of
Speaker 2: people think humility means going around and saying, Oh, I'm
Speaker 2: no good, I'm nothing, I'm a zero, I'm a cipher,
Speaker 2: I'm a zip i can't do anything. No, No, that's
Speaker 2: not humility. That's false humility. That's just degrading yourself. No.
Speaker 2: Humility is not thinking less of yourself. Humility is thinking
Speaker 2: of yourself less. You're the difference. Humility is not thinking
Speaker 2: less of yourselther I'm no good. That's not humbility, that's
Speaker 2: false humility. Humility is you just don't think about yourself.
Speaker 2: You think about other people. The more you think about
Speaker 2: other people, the more humble you are. If you walk
Speaker 2: into this room and you think, what does everybody else
Speaker 2: think about me? How do I look? You're being prideful.
Speaker 2: If you walk into this room and you think, how
Speaker 2: could I help the people in this room, you're being humble.
Speaker 2: The focus isn't on you. The focus is on the
Speaker 2: other people. Humility has nothing to do with what you
Speaker 2: think of yourself. Humility is has what you think about
Speaker 2: other people. In other words, humility is not putting myself down.
Speaker 2: Humility is building other people up. Humble people build other
Speaker 2: people up. Great people make people feel great. Little people
Speaker 2: belittle people Now, the Bible says, instead, be humble and
Speaker 2: give more honor to others than yourself. In other words,
Speaker 2: humility is not devaluing me. It's valuing others more. Let
Speaker 2: me say another way of saying it. Humility is not
Speaker 2: denying your strengths. It's being honest about your weaknesses. We're
Speaker 2: all a bundle of strengths and weaknesses. You have some
Speaker 2: great strengths, you do you have some great weaknesses. And
Speaker 2: humility is to being honest about both. I'm good at
Speaker 2: this and I'm not good at that. I'm strong in this,
Speaker 2: I'm really weak in this. I have some really great
Speaker 2: strengths and i have some enormous weaknesses. Just ask my staff,
Speaker 2: ask my family, ask me. I'll tell you because I'm
Speaker 2: not trying to hide him. And humility is simply being
Speaker 2: honest about both. The Bible says, be humble and give
Speaker 2: more honor to others than yourselves. Now, why should I
Speaker 2: be humble? Because God makes more promises in the Bible
Speaker 2: about humility than anything else except generosity. Let me give
Speaker 2: you a few things God promises to do if you
Speaker 2: live a humble life, if you live dependent upon him,
Speaker 2: if you think about others intead of think about yourself.
Speaker 2: God says, I will give you my presence, I will
Speaker 2: give you my power, I will give you my peace.
Speaker 2: I will make you prosperous, I will make you successful,
Speaker 2: and I will give you great honor. The very thing
Speaker 2: everybody once in life. God says, comes not through pride,
Speaker 2: not through bragging, not through boasting, not through prop you know,
Speaker 2: pretending you're something you're not, not through posing and being
Speaker 2: a poser. It comes through humility. And God says, I
Speaker 2: bless the humble person. In fact, in James four to six,
Speaker 2: they're in your outline. It says this God opposes the proud,
Speaker 2: but he gives grace to the humble. Now notice the
Speaker 2: good and the bad, the carot and the stick. God
Speaker 2: opposes the proud, circle opposes you know what. The Bible says,
Speaker 2: God hates pride. Does God hate anything? Oh yeah, there's
Speaker 2: some things God hates. And one of the things God
Speaker 2: hates is ego, arrogance, pride, conceit self centeredness, self promotion.
Speaker 2: God hates pride, and he says God opposes that proud.
Speaker 2: That means anytime I am acting, saying something, or thinking
Speaker 2: in a prideful way, an arrogant, conceited way, I am
Speaker 2: on the opposite side of God. I may even have
Speaker 2: the right cause, but if I'm presenting it in a
Speaker 2: prideful way. God says you're wrong. Whoa. You may have
Speaker 2: all the right politics figured out, but if you're prideful
Speaker 2: and arrogant about it, guess what, you're wrong. You're on
Speaker 2: the opposite side of God. God doesn't just say, oh,
Speaker 2: it's okay, we'll let you get away with a little
Speaker 2: bit of pride. God says, I hate it, and I
Speaker 2: oppose it. And every time I'm prideful and every time
Speaker 2: you're prideful, I'm on the opposite side of God. I'm
Speaker 2: in a battle with God, and I'm going to lose
Speaker 2: that battle because your arms and my arms are too
Speaker 2: short to box with God. That's the negative side. The
Speaker 2: positive side is says God opposes the proud, but he
Speaker 2: gives grace to the humble. What's grace. Grace is the
Speaker 2: ability to forgive when I don't feel like forgiving. Grace
Speaker 2: is ability to resolve a conflict with my husband or
Speaker 2: my wife when I don't feel like it. Grace is
Speaker 2: the ability to compromise. Grace's the ability to get along.
Speaker 2: Grace's ability to build a strong relationship when everything wants
Speaker 2: to tear your marriage, your friendship, whatever that relationship apart.
Speaker 2: You need grace. The only way your relationships will last
Speaker 2: is with God's grace. And the only way you get
Speaker 2: God's grace is by being humble. So I must never
Speaker 2: let my pride be my guide, and I must be humble,
Speaker 2: or I will stumble and my relationships will crumble. Man,
Speaker 2: I'm a poet. This weekend number three, here's the third
Speaker 2: habit for overcoming conflict. This one sounds easy, but we
Speaker 2: don't do it. Learn the lost art of paying attention.
Speaker 2: If you want to have a happy life, you're going
Speaker 2: to have to have happy relationships. In order to have
Speaker 2: happy relationships, you got to have humility in the middle
Speaker 2: of them, and part of that is learning the lost
Speaker 2: art of paying attention. We pay attention to screens more
Speaker 2: than we pay attention to people. I mean, you walk
Speaker 2: into a meeting and how many people are sitting there
Speaker 2: looking at their phone texting. They're not paying attention to
Speaker 2: the people, They're paying attention to screen. Or you know,
Speaker 2: your head's always down in a video game, you know,
Speaker 2: looking into video game. Or you're walking across a campus
Speaker 2: or taking a lunch break and you got earbuds and
Speaker 2: you're listening to your iPod there's no way you can
Speaker 2: pay attention to people around you. Somebody could be dying
Speaker 2: and in deep pain, and you're in your own little,
Speaker 2: self centered, self centered world. I've closed out everybody else,
Speaker 2: and I'm in this. I was in New York City
Speaker 2: a few weeks back, and down I swear everybody on
Speaker 2: the street was listening to something else, and I'm going
Speaker 2: so I could stand here and yell, you know fire,
Speaker 2: and nobody even know it because our technology has made
Speaker 2: us to no longer pay attention to people. In other words,
Speaker 2: you're sitting here with two friends and you're tweeting to
Speaker 2: twenty five and then you're really worried about is anybody
Speaker 2: retweeting it? Or is anybody liking my post? And what's
Speaker 2: that saying? It's all about me? Social media can feed
Speaker 2: your narcissism, can feed your pride if you let it,
Speaker 2: and you get distracted from seeing the people around you.
