Humility Prioritizes Others

Philippians 2:7–8 ESV
7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
Christ’s Humility Prioritized the value of others
on Earth…took the form of a servant and was found in the appearance as a man…in humility count others as more significant than yourselves.

Humility Serves Others

Christ’s Humility Prioritized service to others
in Death…became obedience to the point of death....look not only to your own interests but also the interests of others.
Paul says I’m not asking you to save the word! I’m asking you to have the same mindset, that refused to seek power and influence for selfish reasons, and to live a life in humble service to others.
This might look like being a gracious driver that allows other to merge.
This might look like allowing others to mask while you choose not to. This might like masking when you’d prefer not to.
For me as Pastor. This means not using my position of authority to bend others to my will. One day we will have a plurality of elders here. This means that the elders must serve with a servants mindset, not as a dictator who pushes his way through the board.
