Loving Others as Yourself


Listen Later

Last week, we looked at an idea that most aren’t comfortable with Striving and Suffering for Christ. We like the idea of “Advancing the Gospel,” but we aren’t keen on the time and effort it takes to do so. We like the idea of “Exalting Christ,” but struggle with dying to self in order to do so, and we like the idea of “Standing Firm,” but at times, we fail to use the backbone that God has given us to do so.

Today is Palm Sunday, and we will be moving into Chapter 2 of Philippians as we look at “Loving Others as Yourself.” There is no better example of someone doing just this than Jesus when He rode that donkey into Jerusalem. He knew that He would be wrongfully accused, convicted, beaten, and murdered, but He went willingly to rescue you and me! May we celebrate Passion Week by following His great example and “Loving Others as Ourselves.”

Our message title is “Loving Others as Yourself,” and our points will be:

  1. United in Christ
  2. Loving Others as Yourself

  3. Main Scripture: Philippians 2:1-4

    Supporting Texts: Philippians 1:27, Mark 12:29-31, Matthew 7:12,1 Corinthians 15:17, Mark 8:34, 2 Corinthians 5:14-15,Ephesians 1:14, Philippians 1:18, Colossians 1:16,Isaiah 14:12-14, Genesis 3:6, Proverbs 11:2,1 Peter 5:5, Romans 12:13-16


    Diving Deeper. After listening to today's message, consider asking yourself the following questions:

    • Why is Palm Sunday important?
