In this sermon, Rev. Ben Sinnard continues looking at Paul’s letter to the church in Philippi by focusing on chapter 2 verses 1-4. Flowing from 1:27-30 Paul calls the Philippians to complete his joy through oneness in mind and love, his goal (2:2). This is appealed to through the four-fold grounds (2:1): encouragement of Christ, comfort from love, and participation in the Spirit, and also through Paul’s shared bond of affection and sympathy with the Philippians. This carries application of humility and other-centeredness, the grind of the appeal (2:3-4). Through the ground, the goal, and the grind we too are called to oneness, humility and joy through the finished work of Christ on the cross. How does the work of Christ shape our oneness at Cornerstone? How does the unearned grace of the gospel propel us to humility?
