Philippians: Others First

Acts 2:42-47 We need to be that kind of church.
Phil 4:2-3 There was a division in the Philippian church.
Phil 2:1-11
v1 Therefore... Paul is pointing back to Phil 1:27 "conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ." If - better words would be since or because.
1. We are to be unified. v2 Paul's joy would be if the church would act as one.
2. We are to be humble. v3 value others above ourselves. Let's quit trying to impress each other.
3. We are to be servants. v4 don't look to my own interests, but look to the interests of others. Actively look for ways to serve others. The greatest path to humility is to serve others.
4. We are to be like Jesus. v5-11 humble, servant, obedient.
