| The Epistle Of Joy Chapter 2 – Part 2

We are continuing in the epistle of Philippians.  In this series “The Epistle Of Joy Part 2” – We see Churches are filled with people from different races, cultures, and backgrounds.  We are to be an example to the world of the power of the new birth, the Word of God, and the Holy Spirit.  What the world cannot do, the supernatural power of God can.

A sad thing happens when the church starts to live like the world.  Paul heard from prison that factions were developing in the Philippian church.  Here He writes to remind them of the Holy Spirit who lives in them and the fruit which He produces.

Part 2 – In this message, we see the importance of living from humility and preferring our brothers and sisters in Christ. Instead of high-mindedness, the congregation should take on the attitude of seeing each other as better than themselves. Jesus Christ, Himself gave us an example. He took the position of a servant and washed the feet of His disciples. These attributes in a church ensure stability, longevity, and a flow of love between the people.
