  • 2 Corinthians – Money Talks (2 Corinthians 8-9)

    November 2, 2026 · Dr Josh Burnham

    2 Corinthians

    • 20:48Philippians 2

      He will be named Jesus because he will save the people from his sin. And the day he was born, even then, the world said, we don't have room. Theologians call this the kenosis of Christ. He emptied himself, Philippians 2, verse 7 says. He did not consider equality with God something to be grasped. Instead, he emptied himself. Took on the form of a servant. He became nothing.

  • Jeremiah

    • 37:32Philippians 2

      And in that moment, was Jesus tempted to tell God no? But Philippians 2 says, no, Jesus became obedient to the Father. He said yes to the Father. Taking your, my place, obedient to death, even death on a cross. Jesus said yes in willing obedience to the Father that you might have forgiveness of your sins if you place your faith in Christ.

  • The Whole Story

    • 31:05Philippians 2:12

      Not only should our hearts burn, but we should become like Christ. We should become like Christ. Philippians, chapter 2, verse 12 and 13 says it this way. Paul says, now that you obeyed, yes, in my presence, but even much more in my absence. He says, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. Work out your salvation with fear and…

  • 1 Corinthians

    • 11:17Philippians 2

      I am willing to open the door that you might go first. I am willing to live for the good of the other person. Philippians 2 reminds us that we should have the same attitude as Christ Jesus, who being in the image, in the essence, God, did not consider equality to be grasped. Here's the pointed reminder for us. Church, if Jesus did not live a me first life and he had every right to, what gives us the right to live me first?

  • The Epistles of John

    • 4:06Philippians 2

      And John says about this man, he says that he loves to have first place. He loves him some first. This man serves as a mirror, warning us of the danger of a heart that always craves the spotlight. And pointing us back to Christ, the one who humbled himself in Philippians 2. That he would be exalted even in death.

  • Matthew – Who Is This? (Matthew 21:1-17)

    July 20, 2025 · Jared Mitchell

    Matthew

    • 13:25Philippians 2

      next to two criminals. And in Philippians 2, Paul writes about his humility when he says this, that Jesus, who existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God as something to be exploited. Instead, he emptied himself by assuming the form of a servant, taking on the likeness of humanity. And when he had come as a man, verse eight, he humbled himself by becoming obedient

    • 14:42Philippians 2

      The Sadducees and the religious leaders that we've read about all throughout Matthew could not humble Jesus because the truth is you cannot humble Christ. And that's the difference, that he humbles himself. Voluntarily, he chose to empty himself, Philippians 2 tells us. Therefore, we don't read passages like this in Matthew 21 and think, oh, poor little Jesus riding on this poor little donkey,

  • Who's Your King

    • 6:49Philippians 2:10

      Because this is not the first nor the last time where God will gather his people and ask every knee to bow under a king. It's happened here under David, but Philippians 2.10 reminds us that at the name of Jesus Christ, every knee will bow in heaven, on earth, and under the earth. And every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Church, let 2 Samuel be the foreshadowing reminder that…

      This is what makes him worthy to open the scroll. And God was happy to hand the scroll over to him because this is the relationship between the father and the son. Paul writes about this relationship in Philippians chapter 2 starting in verse 6. Paul writes this, Jesus who existing

  • From Death to Life

    • 12:09Philippians 2

      And it wasn't until the second century that humility actually became a virtue. It wasn't virtuous for the Greeks. It was virtuous for the Christians. Because it was not until Jesus Christ humbled himself, As Philippians 2 says, It was not until he humbled himself that the world for the first time saw a picture of humility and perfect gentleness wrapped up in the incarnation. And Paul says to us, Walk with humility.

Uh, so, but, uh, this morning I couldn't help but think what a beautiful name it is. And I was reminded in Philippians chapter two, this is totally off script. It doesn't cost you anything. It's free. And by the way, the pastor gave me the liberty. He said,

"Don't take my word for it. Listen to Philippians chapter 2."

  • The Incarnation

    December 13, 2020 · Dr Josh Burnham

    Miracle in the Manger

    • 11:04Philippians 2

      But he chose to lay aside that, not considering himself equal with God as Philippians 2 says. But he laid aside that. He didn't lay aside his divinity, but he laid aside the power. And he chose to confine himself as a man that we might have everlasting life. So what is the incarnation? Jesus, fully God, yes? And Jesus, fully man. And so we ask, well, what does this make of us?

    Faith Over Fear

    • 35:29Philippians 2

      submit our lives to King Jesus. Let me read you one more passage of scripture as we close. It's Philippians chapter 2 and it says this in verse 5. Paul says the same writer 1 Timothy says adopt the same attitude as Christ Jesus. We say oh, what is that? What is the attitude that we as Christ followers should adopt

    • 35:52Philippians 2

      should adopt in Philippians 2 verse 5? Well, Jesus being the same form of God did not consider equality of God something to be exploited. So Jesus didn't say look at me. in the way that he dressed or the way that he spoke he said look at God look at the Father. Instead he emptied himself by assuming the form of the servant taking on the likeness of humanity and when he had come as a man he humbled himself

      But because of his mercy, now in Christ, you can habitually do the will and the work of God in your life. That is his plan. Philippians 2:13. For it is God who is working in you, both to will, the will of God, and to work according to his good purpose. Secondly, are you made new by his mercy? We must be made new.

      What we need is obedience. And so everything will revolve around that. Work it out. And you say, Pastor, how can you say that? Look with me and let's read together Philippians 2, beginning in verse 12 and 13 this morning. Why do we pray for victory when we should be acting in obedience? Therefore, my dear friends, in verse 12, just as you have always obeyed,

      The Apostle Paul put it this way in Philippians chapter 2. He said, Man, I've heard this before with other believers. Man, I'll share my faith, but God's got to open that door for me. You know, he's got to present that to me.

And Paul was a man that knew what and who to fight. The word fight in Greek is agon, a contest of runners and charioteers. In Philippians 2, Paul calls Epaphroditus his friend, he calls him his fellow soldier. In Ephesians, Paul, the same writer
