The Invitation to Live Like Jesus

What if Christmas is more than a story we celebrate—and is actually an invitation to a completely different way of living? In this Advent message from Philippians 2:5–8, Pastor Chris Schansberg reveals how the humility, obedience, and self-giving love of Jesus are not just truths to admire but a pattern God calls every believer to embrace. Christmas isn’t only about what Jesus did for us—it’s about the life He calls us to live with Him and like Him. As Pastor Chris shares personal stories and the biblical picture of Jesus’ downward way, we discover that the manger is not only a beginning—it’s a calling that reorders our priorities, reshapes our mindset, and awakens a life of joyful service.This message reminds us that true greatness begins in humility, that serving others is the path to spiritual increase, and that every act of obedience draws heaven close. During this Advent season, you’re invited to step into a Jesus-shaped life—one marked by surrender, compassion, and everyday choices that reflect the heart of Christ.Christmas is more than a moment. It’s an invitation to live like Jesus.
