• encouragement
• comfort
• fellowship

Joy is being shut out of our lives at the point of our pride.
Joy is invited into our lives at the point of our humility.
Say no to:
1. selfish ambition What’s in it for me?
2. vain conceit Who’s noticing me?
Say yes to:
1. The importance of others
2. The interests of others
3. FOLLOW THE RIGHT EXAMPLE
Philippians 2:5-11

“... he did not think of equality with God something to cling
to...” vs. 6
• SERVICE
“... he took the humble position of a slave...” vs. 7
• OBEDIENCE
“…he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.” vs. 8
• REWARD
