November 3, 2024 • Jared Clements

This week Paul will continue to encourage this church to have unity as he states that the believers in Philippi should not be filled with selfish ambition or conceit and that they should consider others better than themselves. Paul will then speak of Jesus our great example and how He left glory to come and serve those He came in contact with and then humbled Himself to the death of the cross. Then we'll see that Jesus is highly exalted above all other names and that at His name every knee shall bow and tongue confess.
