Series: Unlocking Joy

Book: Philippians

In a world obsessed with recognition, success, and self-promotion, how do we truly shine for Jesus? Philippians 2:5-18 gives us a powerful roadmap.

This message challenges us to adopt the attitude of Christ—humility, selflessness, obedience, and unwavering faith—so we can stand out in a dark world. Instead of chasing applause, we’re called to live for something greater: God’s glory.

Through real-life examples, including social media influencers and missionaries who risked everything, we explore practical steps to reflect Jesus in our daily lives.

Key Takeaways:

  • Adopt Jesus’ Attitude – Think and live like Christ (Phil. 2:5-8).
  • Live Out What God Works In You – Align your actions with God’s transformation (Phil. 2:12-13).
  • Shine Brightly – Stand out and draw others to Jesus (Phil. 2:14-16).
  • Rejoice in Being Poured Out – See serving others as a privilege, not a burden (Phil. 2:16-18).
