WE

We all experience the world differently. It's not what we do that defines us, but it's how we adapt to the truth of the world.

If you were in Edgewater last week, you heard us talk about what frame we look through

If you were with us last week, you heard us talk about this idea of unity and that that's where we're picking back up

We've been looking at Philippians through has had a lot to do with how we honor God

today i wanna keep walking through Philippians as i try to convince you to change your perspective, and actions

Here’s how it goes…

GOD

Christian Standard Bible ( Philippians Chapter 2)

1 If, then, there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any affection and mercy,

2 make my joy complete by thinking the same way, having the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.

- We talked last week about Unifying with GODs purpose, Ideals, and Mission

3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves.

4 Everyone should look not to his own interests, but rather to the interests of others.

5 Adopt the same attitude as that of Christ Jesus,

6 who, existing in the form of God,

did not consider equality with God

as something to be exploited. - How often do we get on our high horse, JESUS IS GOD

7 Instead he emptied himself

by assuming the form of a servant,

taking on the likeness of humanity.

And when he had come as a man,

8 he humbled himself by becoming obedient

to the point of death—

even to death on a cross. - Humility…Obedience…

- We can’t honor God with __anything__ until we humble ourselves

9 For this reason God highly exalted him

and gave him the name

that is above every name,

10 so that at the name of Jesus

every knee will bow—

in heaven and on earth

and under the earth—

11 and every tongue will confess

that Jesus Christ is Lord,

to the glory of God the Father.

- No one escapes, no one rejects, they may not understand now but there will be a day

- all for the Glory of God

- all so that people will know HIM

God considered your soul important enough to come and die for

3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves.

4 Everyone should look not to his own interests, but rather to the interests of others.c

8 he humbled himself by becoming obedient

to the point of death—

YOU

Glorify God in…

Our Patience

Our Pursuit of Him

Our Response to Unfortunate Circumstances

Our Unity

We cant, unless we

Glorify God in…

Our Humility 8 he humbled himself by becoming obedient

to the point of death—

Unified with Gods

Ideals

Plan

Morality

We can’t be unified until we humble ourselves, it’s where it all starts

WE

What has changed in your perspective on life?

That it’s all about me

that people are only so important

My perspective is now

21 For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

Requires Humility

MY MISSION

MY PLANS FOR MY LIFE

MY PROBLEMS AND MY MISTAKES

ARE YOURS NOW, THEYRE

YOUR MISSION

YOUR PLANS FOR MY LIFE

YOUR PROBLEMS AND MISTAKES

YOUR WAYS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN MINE

Would you chnge your perspective on this?

Have you thought what it would be like if we were all humble?

if we considered others before ourselves?

What if we honored God in our humility? Consider others as more important
