A Gospel Shaped Mind

Our minds are constantly being shaped by the world around us, but Paul calls us in Philippians 2 to something far greater: having the mind of Christ. The Greek word phroneo points to a deep pattern of thinking, not just a positive attitude, but a complete reorientation of values, priorities, and perspective. Jesus modeled this perfectly by voluntarily descending from the highest place to the lowest, taking on the nature of a servant and dying on a cross. True humility is not thinking less of yourself. It is being so secure in who you are before God that you no longer need to make everything about yourself. The Father responded to Christ's humility by exalting Him above every name. This is not simply a call to try harder to be humble. Through the Holy Spirit, Christ is actively forming His life within us, reshaping the way we think so that our choices, relationships, and ambitions begin to follow.For sermon notes, recap, and devotionals, click here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://sermons.wraynaz.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For all our links, click here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/wraynaz
