One Anothering: Show Humility to One Another

ONE ANOTHERING

Show Humility to One Another
Pastor Aaron Sutherland  

SERIES SCRIPTURE:

John 13:35 "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

I. HUMILITY REVEALS THE CULTURE OF CHRIST
Philippians 2:3-4 (ESV) "Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others."

II. HUMILITY REVEALS THE CHARACTER OF CHRIST
Philippians 2:5-8 (ESV) "Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 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."
 

III. HUMILITY REVEALS THE CALLING OF CHRIST
Philippians 2:9-11 (ESV) "Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so 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."
