Christ’s Example of Humility | Philippians 2:1–11

How does the world see followers of Jesus? Do we resemble what the world already knows or something that gives them a desire to know more about what makes His followers different? Today, we will see that our unity in Christ must be rooted in Him alone. The Apostle Paul describes Christ as the ultimate example of humility, and we must be seen resembling Christ our King in this age.

Lights of the World | Philippians 2:12–18

The local church is God’s Plan A for taking the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to every nation, language, tribe, and people group. In doing so, the Apostle Paul encourages believers to be among the people of the world to proclaim Christ. Today, we will see that Paul exhorts the saints in Philippi and us today to be set apart for the work and mission of Christ as lights in the world.
