Please open your Bibles to Matthew chapter 23.
I think the first biography, the first life story, I ever read was actually an autobiography. It was a book which was called simply We, and it was written in 1927 by Charles Lindbergh, who earlier that year had flown his airplane solo across the Atlantic Ocean. I think I was eleven or twelve when I read it.
That book was fascinating to me, and I went through it several times. It was written in a dignified style, and Charles Lindbergh would later go on to write a number of other books. He would also go on to do a number of quite un-heroic things, which have only recently come to light. But I was thrilled to read his life story up to that point. He seemed like a very humble person.
This week as I studied the verse which Cherry has chosen for her special day, where Jesus says that people who exalt themselves will be humbled, but those who humble themselves will be exalted, I remembered that this wasn’t the only verse where He mentioned this topic. So I looked up other verses where Jesus spoke about being humble, and I

Biographical Narrative Sermons Are Interesting and Valuable
The Biographical Narrative type of sermon is an interesting and valuable way to preach about the colorful characters in the Word of God while expounding the Biblical truths that relate to their lives.
It is preaching conveyed by means of example. Some writers feel that it is the most simple form of sermonizing, but often the most interesting and the most profitable type of sermon.
The fact is, many people hear and respond to spiritual truth much better when it is associated with a real life account of someone else's situation that parallels their situation. It is true that we are always interested in the stories of other people, even in our everyday conversation.
Those situations which are associated with our own experience are often told and gladly listened to. Even my four year old grandchild when visiting us is never more enthused than when she climbs into my lap or my wife's lap (or climbs into her bed to be tucked in) and requests a story about our childhood or her Dad's (our son's) childhood.
What is this type of sermon?
The Biographical Narrative Sermon is basically the study of a person's life and the spiritual lessons that can be learned from it. It warns us from that person's failures and encourages
