The poem in the middle of these verses is the epicenter of the book of Philippians. In a book focused on an embodied faith, verse 6-11 names in clear terms what that kind of life is to look like as modeled by Jesus. Humility, grace, patience, serving.
In 1 Samuel we read about the Israelites rejecting God’s sovereignty. Thousands of years later we can wrestle with the same thing. Join us as we talk through keeping God as king in our lives.
Paul pivots to a sticky issue next: unity. Paul desires to see the church in Philippi rally together to love and serve the community around them in the name of Jesus. Paul reminds them that the source of that unity is found not in causes or topics, but in the love and grace that Jesus has extended to them, and they are not called to extend to others.
