Philippians 2
1 Therefore
if /there is/ any consolation in Christ,
if any comfort of love,
if any fellowship of the Spirit,
if any affection and mercy,
2 fulfill my joy
by being like-minded,
having the same love,
/being/ of one accord,
of one mind.
3 /Let/ nothing /be done/ through selfish ambition or conceit,
But
in lowliness of mind
let each esteem others better than himself.
4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests,
but also for the interests of others.

\\ 5 Let this mind be in you
which was also in Christ Jesus,
6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God,
7 but made Himself of no reputation,
taking the form of a bondservant,
/and/
coming in the likeness of men.
8 And
being found in appearance as a man,
He humbled Himself
and
became obedient to /the point of/ death,
even the death of the cross.
9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him
and
given Him the name which is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bow,
of those in heaven,
and of those on earth,
and of those under the earth,
11 and /that/ every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ /is/ Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
*M.O.T. *– Exaltation through Surrender

*Thesis* – Exaltation in God’s eyes and others can only come through genuine humility.
*Proposition* – I want the hearers to understand that a good standing before God can only come through surrender and service.
*Probing Question* – Why is total surrender necessary?
*Unifying Word* – Goals
1.
To identify with Christ

To serve my fellow man
3.

4.
To exalt Christ now
\\ 12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence,
work out your own salvation
with fear
and trembling;
13 for it is God who works in you
both to will
and
to do for /His/ good pleasure.
14 Do all things without complaining and disputing,
15 that you may become blameless and harmless,
children of God without fault
in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation,
among whom you shine
as lights in the world,
16 holding fast the word of life,
so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ
that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.
\\ \\
17 Yes, and if I am being poured out /as a drink offering/
on the sacrifice and service of your faith,
I am glad and rejoice with you all.
18 For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me.
*M.O.T.* – The Christian Life is to be Lived Out
*C.I. T. *– Paul reminded that the Christian life, if real, would have evidence of such.
*Thesis* – True Christians will have a lifestyle that backs up their profession.
*Proposition* – I want the hearers to understand that there must be evidence of their salvation.
*Probing Question* – How can Christians live a productive life?
*Unifying Word* – Works

Salvation is more than a profession.
Vs. 12
2.
Through surrender works come naturally.
Vs. 13
3.
Obedience enables testimony.
Vs 14-16

19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly,
that I also may be encouraged
when I know your state.
