Philippians: What do you boast in?

 
Philippians 3:8–11 (ESV)
8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— 10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.

Philippians: Humble Unity

Philippians 2:5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 
Unity is something that the church should always strive for. But unity is so much more than just getting along. It's getting along, in the mission of God, for the glory of God. This comes through likemindedness, humility, and a thoughtfulness of others. All this with Jesus as our example.

Philippians: Be Present in the Gospel

 
Acts 16:30–31 Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
The Book of Philippians begins in Acts 16 when Paul brings the Gospel to Philippi for the very first time. As he closes out his letter to this Church he loved so much, he urges them to "Stand frim thus in the Lord" (4:1) How do we do that? Be present in the Gospel.

Speak Life or Death

"But no human can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. Wit it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God. From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so." James 3:8-10
