Jesus Christ modeled humility by leaving the glories of heaven and taking on human flesh for eternity. He became obedient to death on a cross for the sins of the world. The incredible model of humility demonstrated from our Lord Jesus Christ should motivate us to live like Him. In our world, we are normally taught to put ourselves first, whereas Jesus Christ helps others understand that we should place God's desires first and others second. We should come in a distant third. The only way this is possible is by knowing our identity in Christ Jesus and knowing where we are heading. Speaker: Jeff Schwarzentraub

In our society, being a servant can often become about comparison. In other words, it’s easier to judge the service of others rather than allowing God to earnestly show us our own hearts. Becoming a servant for Jesus Christ involves resting in our identity, believing in who God says we are, and acting upon what we believe. May God continue to grow us as servants as we continue to seek Him. Speaker: Jeff Schwarzentraub

We know Paul, as a pastor for the church in Philippi, wanted his people to understand their identity as Kingdom citizens. Being persuaded by the media and current circumstances can deflect what is most important. It can also cloud your relationship to Jesus Christ and what it means to honor Him. As a community, we represent Christ and are His kingdom citizens. With the Gospel as our foundation and Christ at our side, we are called to live for Him regardless of the consequences. Even if it means suffering for Christ, we know this is simply a sign of our salvation and the fact that our opponents are facing certain destruction. May we grow in our understanding of our citizenship and may pastors guide the flock with these convictions. Speaker: Jeff Schwarzentraub

How can we grow our prophetic voice so that we are actually able to "talk our walk"? In other words, what are the necessary foundations for us to be able to speak up in a situation and have our words matter? The Apostle Paul never had to change his messaging because he was indeed a man whose deeds aligned with his words. Sometimes, as believers, we yearn to be more aligned with what we truly believe. During the growth of our sanctification process, God is helping us to develop in our character, so we reflect His glory. May God help you set a stronger foundation in your walk with Him so that your voice is stronger and has a greater influence for Him. Speaker: Jeff Schwarzentraub
