To Live Worthy of the Gospel, The Church Must be Unified, the People Must be Humilified, and Christ Must be Glorified.

Sermon Summary 🎬

Pastor Jamie Bennett preaches about living a life worthy of the Gospel through the message of Philippians 2. He emphasizes the importance of unity within the church, individual humility, and glorifying Christ. Using Philippians 1:21 "to live is Christ," he explains that our lives should reflect Christ through our thoughts and actions. He challenges the congregation with two questions: whether our lives resemble the humble, selfless life of Christ, and if the church body reflects the unity Jesus prayed for. Bennett stresses that to live out the Gospel, Christians must be united, practice humility by valuing others above themselves, and always seek to glorify Christ above all. He provides the example of Christ's incarnation and death on the cross as the ultimate model of humility leading to exaltation, urging believers to be unified and humble witnesses to the power of the Gospel.
