Pastor Steve Heron preaches from Philippians 2:12-18.

Paul's previous 'Christ hymn" extolling the mystery of the kenosis tempts many of us to stop and meditate on the wonder of the incarnation. Paul, however, immediately reminds us of the practical implications of such a doctrine. He urges the Philippians to consider their own obedience and calls them to work out their salvation in a crooked and twisted generation. We will see that our commitment to the sanctification journey with others gives us hope for our future and our culture as we hold fast to the word of Christ.

Pastor AJ Rankin preaches from Philippians 2:5-11.

Paul continues his call for unity by pointing to the ultimate example—Jesus Christ Himself. In one of the most theologically profound passages in Scripture, Paul reveals that Christ's humble descent from glory to the cross doesn't just provide a pattern to follow, but unveils what God is actually like. Through Christ's self-emptying service, we discover that humility isn't just a virtue to practice—it's the very nature of God being developed within us as His image-bearers.

Pastor Steve Heron preaches from Philippians 2:1-4.

Paul's solidarity in suffering with the Philippians for the gospel leads to the instructions he gives in chapter 2. Beginning one of the most theologically packed paragraphs in your Bible, Paul paints a picture of a unified church. Rooted in a corporate relationship with God, Paul shows us that he foundation of unity in the church is a humility that seeks to meet the needs of others.
