Cross City Church
April 14, 2024 | Servanthood
The big call of servanthood is what Philippians 2:5-11 is all about. It is one of the eight major perspectives that greatly influence the level of joy in our lives. Without them, life is prideful, self-centered, and frustrating. With them, we are liberated and aligned to live out what God has called us to! Jesus calls us to servanthood.

Philippians 2:5-11
Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

HIS identity wasn’t the foremost thought in this description – OUR lostness was.
John 1:14
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

He emptied Himself.
He changed Himself.
He humbled Himself.
He changed Himself.

The bond-servant is one who is in a permanent relation of servitude to another.
