Humility Is the First Law of Ministry (John 3:22-30)

Summary

The sermon's main theme is the centrality of Christ in ministry, as exemplified by John the Baptist's declaration, "He must increase, but I must decrease." Drawing from John 3, 1 Corinthians, and 2 Corinthians, the message emphasizes that any minister or church that exalts itself or its leaders over Christ is in error. The practical takeaway is that true ministry requires humility, making Christ everything and oneself nothing, with congregations honoring Christ rather than elevating human leaders.
