Ben Seewald, Philippians 2:19-30, The Mindset of Christ Lived Out

10th sermon in Philippians Series

THESIS: Living out the mindset of Christ looks like humble, sacrificial risk-taking in the work of Christ for the good of others.

Living out the mindset of Christ looks like:

POINT 1: Making sacrifices for others as Paul did.

POINT 2: Genuine concern for the welfare of others as Timothy had.

POINT 3: Taking loving risks for the work of Christ as Epaphroditus did.

POINT 4: Seeking to give honor rather than get it, as the Philippians were to do.
