In a divisive culture experiencing increasing unrest, the community of Jesus called the church has a chance to stand out and show the world something different: a joyful way of life that transcends the circumstances we face, yet doesn't diminish their difficulty.
Through the pen of Paul, an early follower of Jesus who was no stranger to suffering and
difficulty, the letter to the Philippians invites us to see, and live, differently as the people of God living in the world, especially when it comes to hardship and being the church.

THE GOD WHO STOOPS
Philippians 2:5-11
Nathan Archer
Rags to riches. Driven, gifted individuals who rise above their circumstances. These are the stories told in our day. God's story is the opposite. It's not rags to riches -- it's riches to rags. Something about this story is key to understanding how God designed us and the world.

HOLY AMBITION
Philippians 2:1-11
David Morelli
The way of Jesus invites us to walk a different path in a highly individualistic and hyper ambitious culture. Surprisingly, it doesn’t ask us to abandon ambition but to have our ambitions redirected toward the things of God.
