Review - If you remember we have been in a series entitled, "Taking the Next Step."
We've been viewing our christian life as a series of steps.
Week 1 we talked about taking the step from Church attendee to Jesus Follower
Last week we talked about stepping into community.
We said that we never follow Jesus alone.
Tonight we want to talk about how Jesus calls us to step into the world - to bring healing and hope to a world that is messed up.
The Secular -
Biblical Background - In the book of Philippians, Paul explains how Jesus took a step - He stepped out of Heaven, out of eternity, and into Time.
Into our world - so that you and I could be saved.
He tells us that we are to be like Jesus, and he lays out what that looks like.
Biblical Content - Check out Philippians 2:3-11
So here is the question - How do we make a difference in the world?
By being different from the world.
But what exactly does that look like?
It happens when we are like Jesus.
But what exactly is it about Jesus that we should model?
Body
Humility
Paul says here that we are to Be humble
He gives us the example of Jesus
Jesus was willing to give up his own rights and privileges in heaven to come down and give himself for you and for me.
We must interact with others in Humility
Humility doesn't mean thinking less of yourself - It means thinking of yourself less.
Humility is powerful
Humility says I don't have all the answers
Humility listens to others and
Illustration - Imagine that we had someone who is proud - we've all know those people.
They have an opinion about something and they are proud.
So let's imagine that this proud man says 2+2=500 And we are all like - No, umm..2+2=4.
And he starts arguing with us, and finally we just give up and leave him alone.
You see his pride keeps him from knowing and learning the truth.
Humility is powerful because it enables you to learn to see from someone else's point of view.
Humility gives you a bit of flexibility in life.
The world says, "It's all about you."
It's all about what you want and what makes you happy
Jesus shows us the real path to honor and the real path to success is learning to be humble and often give up what we want.
Service
We must look for ways to help those around us
We must look for ways to make the places we live, go to school, work, ect., better places.
Obedience
Jesus' life was one of Obedience to God.
The center of his life wasn't about anything else - If he needed to make a decision the deciding factor was this - Is this what the father would want?
