The Mind of Christ in You :: PHILIPPIANS

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 3/08/26 by Pastor Steve Shields.

The mind of Christ is in you as Philippians 2:5 tells us.

Where do we get the mind of Christ? The mind of Christ is given us at our salvation. The mind of Christ takes root in you through the Holy Spirit. The mind of Christ works in you by God’s grace.

How the mind of Christ shows in life. You cease promoting your brand. You consider others before yourself. You consider others above yourself.

It takes humility to allow the mind of Christ to lead your life. The mind of Christ surrenders personal ambitions. The mind of Christ maneuvers you into servant roles. The mind of Christ puts no limit on love.

Worthy Conduct When the Bullet Hits the Bone :: PHILIPPIANS

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 03/01/26 by Pastor Steve Shields.

Give attention to your conduct regardless of the circumstances. Even if the worst happens. Whether times are good or bad. Pay attention to how you respond. James 1:20 tells us human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.

Give attention to how your conduct affects others. You conduct affects long time Christ followers. Your conduct affect those who have yet to follow Jesus.

Give attention to the universality of your experience. 1 Corinthians 10:13 tells us the temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. Bone hitting bullets are common. This doesn’t make it easy, but it does put things into perspective. Pay attention to how believers have stood before you.

When the bullet hits the bone remember Philippians 1:27a. Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.
