Kerygma Summit 2025

Featuring: Dr. Joel Muddamalle
In this powerfully practical message, Dr. Joel Muddamalle calls believers to embrace a cruciform life—one shaped by the humility of Christ. With clarity, humor, and rich biblical insight, Dr. Muddamalle walks us through the story of humanity from the dust of Eden to the mount of Golgotha, showing that both our creation and our restoration are marked by the radical humility of God.
Drawing from Genesis, Philippians 2, and the entire arc of redemptive history, he traces the contrast between pride at the first tree in the garden and humility at the second tree—the cross. He teaches that sanctification is not just behavior change, but a shaping into the image of Jesus, whose incarnation, life, and death model divine humility from start to finish.
Through memorable illustrations, theological precision, and pastoral warmth, Dr. Muddamalle makes the case that humility is not weakness, but the very soil of the Christian life. It protects us from self-worship, preserves us through ministry hardship, and invites us into deeper intimacy with Christ.
