What is the Gospel of Jesus Christ Worth to You?

 What is the Gospel of Jesus Christ Worth to You?
(Philippians 2:1-4)

Rev. Sara Pyon

 I. Live in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ (1:27)

 II. What the Gospel of Christ has offered us (2:1)
Encouragement from being united with Christ
Comfort from Christ’s love
Fellowship with the Holy Spirit
Tenderness and compassion

 III. How we should live (2:2-4)
Be like-minded and one in spirit and purpose
Exercise humility, not selfish ambition or vain conceit
Consider others better than ourselves
Look out for the interests of others

 IV. Reflections
What is the difference between unity and uniformity?  Is it possible to be “like-minded” and still think independently?  
Outside of your immediate family members, is there someone in your life that you regard more important than yourself, someone you are willing to sacrifice yourself for?
How would we use your time, money, resources, and talents differently if we truly regarded our brothers and sisters in our church as “better” or "more important" than ourselves?
