P H I L I P P I A N S 2 : 1 - 2

If you have any encouragement

from being united with Christ, if

any comfort from his love, if any

fellowship with the Spirit, if any

tenderness and compassion, 2

then make my joy complete by

being like-minded, having the

same love, being one in spirit

and purpose.

Do nothing out of selfish

ambition or vain conceit, but

in humility consider others

better than yourselves

P H I L I P P I A N S 2 : 4 - 7

Each of you should look not only to

your own interests, but also to the

interests of others. 5 Your attitude

should be the same as that of Christ

Jesus. 6 Who, being in very nature

God, did not consider equality with

God something to be grasped, 7 but

made himself nothing, taking the very

nature of a servant, being made in

human likeness.

PLEASING GOD ISN’T ABOUT SELF -

PROMOTION BUT SELF-

ABANDONMENT.

SERVING IS NOT WHAT I DO.

A SERVANT IS WHO I AM.

P H I L I P P I A N S 2 : 8 -

1 1

And being found in appearance

as a man, he humbled himself

and became obedient to death-

even death on a cross! 9

Therefore God exalted him to the

highest place and gave him the

name that is above every name,

P H I L I P P I A N S 2 : 8 -

1 1

10 that at the name of Jesus

every knee should bow, in

heaven and on earth and

under the earth, 11 and every

tongue confess that Jesus

Christ is Lord, to the glory of

God the Father.

MY JOY ISN’T BASED ON WHAT HAPPENS TO ME, BUT WHAT GOD IS

DOING IN ME AND THROUGH ME.
