Fusion: week of 10/26

FAMILY THEME: HUMILITY

TAKING OUR PROPER PLACE

Phillipians  1:1 - 2:11

Paul teaches us about humility

1.  Humility is Putting Jesus First

     (Phillipians 1:12-26)

     While uncertain as to whether he would live or die,

     Paul's desire was that Christ would be honored.

 
2.  Humility is Regarding Others Highly

     (Phillipians 1:27 - 2:4) 

     Paul wanted the Phillipians to stand firm in one

     spirit but he knew that meant they must regard

     others more highly than themselves.

 
3.  Humility is Following Christ's Example

     (Phillipians 2:5-11)

     Christ is our example in that He (in some sense)

     set part of His divine privilege to become like us.
