BIG IDEA: Follow The Example of Jesus

Philippians 1:27-2:11

Satisfaction in Jesus is far better than anything this world can offer!

(1:27-28) We are Kingdom People!

Act Like It!!

  • Firm
  • Together
  • Through Fear

Results: Two paths lead to different places

(1:29-30) God’s gifts to us because of Jesus -

  • – Ephesians 2:8-9
  • – Acts 5:40-42; 1 Peter 4:12-16

Paul is their example (ours too!)

(2:1-11) What makes Paul rejoice?

  • Jesus is the ultimate example! (BE LIKE JESUS!)

(2:12-18) “Work Out” Your Salvation

  • - Humble Yourself
  • - We live in a “Culture of Complaint”

Where Should I Look For Examples
