Last week we talked about having “one mind” that is to be “centered in Christ.” One mind isn’t like invasion of the body-snatchers where the hive mind takes over. It refers to the unity that is borne out of being centered on the Gospel. There will be many places we see things differently, but we unify around the essentials of who Christ is and our salvation in Him alone. Jesus is Lord and we surrender ourselves to His grace. Looking not to our own interests, but to others, comes from a humility that understands how Jesus saves us.

From Series: "Philippians"

The book of Philippians is unique in that Paul’s words continually move back to being centered in joy. There is a constant in all of our seasons of life: Jesus reigns over created order and in this life, we will experience hardship. The way to walk in joy through all of our seasons of life is to have it centered in the constancy of knowing Jesus (Phil 2:6-8) who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. We know that every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord (Phil 2:11).
