Philippians Week 4: Who Do We Think We Are?

Sermon Discussion Questions:

Who Do We Think We Are? (Philippians 2: 1-11)

Big Idea: The humility that Jesus modeled is the key to living in unity.

1) Can you think of examples in your own life when you have sensed encouragement of being in Christ, or the comfort of his love, or the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit? How do these experiences encourage unity with ither believers?

2) Does being in full accord and of one mind (Philippians 2:1) mean that Christians ought never to disagree? How should we understand unity within the church?

3) Have you ever been humiliated? How does contemplating Jesus’ humiliation (Philippians 2:6-8) change our view of humility?

4) How would you explain the meaning of Jesus “emptying himself” (Philippians 2:7)?

5) What do you see as the biggest challenge to unity in our local church? What steps can you take to increase that unity?
