Sermon notes for weekend worship service Aug 13 & 16, 2020
Philippians 2:5 NLT
Your ATTITUDE is a choice!
Our ATTITUDES determine how much others enJOY our good company & it's a strong indicator of your maturity level/character.
Philippians 2:1-2 NLT
1st Idea:
Don't be that guy who always has to be right.
"Unity" literally means having a common ATTITUDE - having our souls joined together.
Matthew 22:36-40 NLT
Philippians 2:3-4 NLT
2nd Idea:
Don't be that guy who pouts when he doesn't get his way.
"Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don't push your way to the front; don't sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand."
Philippians 2:3-4, The Message
100% Rule:
“Those who affect us the most watch out for themselves the least. They notice our needs & reach out to help, honestly concerned about our welfare. Their least used words are “I” -- “ME” -- & “MINE.” They are unselfish.”
Philippians 2:5-11 NLT
3rd Idea:
Don't be that guy who stubbornly refuses to obey Jesus.
"...THOUGH HE WAS GOD..."
"He gave up" means to empty, as you would a pitcher of water or a bucket of food.
Acts of the Apostles 9:36 NLT
So what?
I know most, if not all, of us would like to possess the "Attitude of Christ" so what do I need to do?
