Emptied, Exalted, Invited

This sermon focuses on the exalted Jesus, based on Philippians 2:1-11. Starting with a hymn of adoration, pastor Mike discusses the humility and obedience of Jesus, who emptied himself and was obedient to death on a cross. He elaborates on the exaltation of Jesus by God, who raised him from the dead, ascended him to heaven, and placed him at the right hand of the Father. Mike explains the Greek term for exaltation and contrasts Jesus' humility with Satan's pride. The sermon underscores the theological importance of Christ's submission and glorification, emphasizing practical application for believers to live in unity and humility, looking to Jesus as their example. It culminates in an invitation to observe Holy Week and reflect on Jesus' sacrificial journey.
