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.
God’s people find themselves trapped in a season they did not choose and waiting for deliverance that has not yet arrived. Yet even in the silence and suffering, God is quietly preserving life and forming courage in ordinary women who refuse to surrender to fear.
God renews our minds through the hope of salvation and equips us with His living and active Word. As we close the series, we’ll explore how what we believe shapes how we think, and how Scripture works in us and through us in everyday life. Rooted in Him, we are both formed by His truth and sent out to live it.
This week we will look at several passages that help us to understand who we are. To be created in the image of God is a beautiful blessing full of great joy, but it is also a calling. Join us as we work through what it means: to be a steward, to be a servant, to be gracious, and to be hopeful.
