Attitude Adjustment

Series: Breakout
June 29, 2008

In my wallet I carry some of my most important stuff. I carry my ID, very important in today’s world. I have my insurance cards should anything horrible happen to me. I have my credit cards and a bankcard if I want to buy anything. But I also have a few things that are even more important. I have the very first note that Robin sent me. I have a card with all her relevant sizes and shapes so I can buy her clothes, shoes, whatever. But here I have the most important thing in my wallet. It’s the card that I wrote our wedding vows on, and kept in my pocket for our wedding just in case I got nervous and needed a cheat sheet (which I didn’t). On this same card is our wedding text, and it’s the text we come to today in our Breakout series taking us through the letter to the church in Philippi, one of our books of the bible. It’s Philippians 2:5-11.

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
Who being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant,
being make in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself and became obedient to death- even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:5-11
