    Sep 14 2025
    Pastor Kurt takes a deep dive into Philippians 2:1–11, where Paul calls believers to honor others above themselves by embracing the mindset of Christ, who modeled humble obedience all the way to the cross. Though He was God, Jesus laid aside His rights, served others, and submitted fully to the Father’s will. As a result, God exalted Him above all. We’re called to follow that same path—where humility leads to unity, and surrender leads to glory.
