Pastor Daniel Medders preaches from Philippians 2 about the mystery of the Trinity and the nature of Jesus as fully God and fully man, emphasizing that our inability to fully understand or explain God does not invalidate His existence. Using the analogy of looking through windows and doors, he explains that we only see partial but true glimpses of who God is, then focuses on Paul’s description of Christ’s humility, that although Jesus was in very nature God, He did not use His divine status to His own advantage but took on human likeness and the role of a servant. Pastor Medders teaches that biblical meekness is not weakness or passivity but controlled strength, shown in Jesus’ capacity for power and even violence that He kept under control, such as when He cleansed the temple or restrained Himself when provoked and mistreated. He reflects on Jesus entering the world through a uterus and offering His body “for you,” contrasts this with modern abortion rhetoric of “this is my body, I’ll do what I want,” calls that stance the “anti-Eucharist,” and urges Christians to side with the voiceless unborn while speaking with compassion and care toward those who have experienced abortion.
