Following the Example of Christmas - Season 4, Episode 139

We often reduce Christmas to sentiment and tradition, yet we struggle with pride, conflict, and self-centeredness in our daily lives. How can the birth of Christ transform the way we treat one another? Pastor Dorrell argues that Paul presents Christ's incarnation not merely as theological wonder but as a practical model for Christian humility. By examining Philippians 2, he demonstrates that Jesus—though equal with God—emptied himself, took the form of a servant, and humbled himself completely. This self-reduction stands as the antidote to the strife and vainglory that fracture churches and families. Listeners are challenged to adopt the mind of Christ by becoming smaller in ego, larger in service, and committed to lifting others above themselves.Eastland is a Place to BelongEastland Baptist Church is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
