Philippians 2:1-4 1. If you have experienced in God encouragement, comfort, fellowship win the Spirit, 2. Then be unified in mind and in love for each other.

Complete my joy - Paul rejoices in seeing their lives reflect the difference that Christ is making in them. He wants to see them mature into giving people. People with the priority of love.

Let the love you have received spill over into the lives of the people around you.

1. Not in selfishness or conceit, but with humility - he will show us what humility looks like: consider others more important than yourself.

I have to remind myself, "I am a servant"

Think about not just your needs but the needs of others. Be considerate. Put other people's needs ahead of your own. In conversation In action In prayer

Philippians 2:5-11 He gives the example of Christ Who left the glory of heaven to serve us. He is God, but gave up the honor and glory of being God to be a slave.

1. He emptied himself It is in giving that we receive - St Francis of Asisi

We experience deep joy not when seeking it, but when we give ourselves away.

1. Honor of being God to Becoming a man to Becoming a slave to Dying a humiliating death - all for you.

2. God the Father exalted him above all else,
