I SURRENDER MY ATTITUDE Philippians 2:1-8

I Surrender My Attitude Our theme for Lake Forest in 2013 is “I Surrender All” We have presented lessons geared toward this theme on the first Sunday of the month Today we look at another aspect

I Surrender My Attitude Our attitude is a very important part of who we are We spoke earlier in the year about surrendering our minds (thoughts) Our attitude is a part of our thought process, so it is certainly important

I Surrender My Attitude Attitude is defined as manner, disposition, feeling, position, etc., toward a person or thing Our attitude is basically our outlook on things in this life Attitude determines how we respond to people or situations

I Surrender My Attitude It also goes a long way in determining what we are as individuals Someone with great ability can still fail if they lack a good attitude “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he” (Prov. 23:7)

I Surrender My Attitude A good attitude is a prerequisite to any successful pursuit, including our service to God Are we ready to surrender our attitude to God? We do that by taking on the attitude of Christ…

I Surrender My Attitude 1. Attitude of Selflessness (vs. 3-4) One of the first traits that is mentioned is that of selflessness Paul speaks of not being selfish and thinking of others ahead of ourselves This certainly describes Jesus as He never came across as “better than you”

I Surrender My Attitude 1. Attitude of Selflessness (vs. 3-4) “but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men” (v. 7) Christ showed compassion and put others first in all that He did while here upon earth

I Surrender My Attitude 1. Attitude of Selflessness (vs. 3-4) “For even Christ did not please Himself” (Rom. 15:3) The ultimate act of selflessness was His death on the cross He gave His life that we might have life (Rom. 5:8; Heb. 9:28)

I Surrender My Attitude 2. Attitude of Service (v. 7) What goes hand in hand with selflessness is being a servant to others This mind should be in us just as it was in Christ Jesus was not here to be served by men, but to serve (Matt. 20:28)

I Surrender My Attitude 2. Attitude of Service (v. 7) The way to get ahead in the Kingdom of Christ is to be a servant (Mk. 10:44) Jesus proved that by setting an example of service in John 13 We should follow in His steps by having an attitude of service in all we do

I Surrender My Attitude 3. Attitude of Humility (v. 8) It does us no good to try and serve if we cannot do so with an attitude of humility Paul tells us that just the very act of coming as a man was a humble act Can you imagine the humility it took to suffer and die as He did?

I Surrender My Attitude 3. Attitude of Humility (v. 8) We too are commanded to have an attitude of humility as we serve others Peter said to be clothed with humility (I Pet. 5:5-6) If we humble ourselves, it is God who will exalt us (Js. 4:10)

I Surrender My Attitude 4. Attitude of Obedience (v. 8) Although Christ was God, He still became obedient to the will of His Father We might not think that seems like too difficult of a task; after all, we are obedient for the most part

I Surrender My Attitude 4. Attitude of Obedience (v. 8) Christ was obedient all the way to His death, the death of the cross Could you or I have done what Christ did for us? That’s the kind of obedient attitude we should have; we’ll obey no matter what

I Surrender My Attitude 4. Attitude of Obedience (v. 8) Some obey as long as it fits their lifestyle Some obey as long as there is not too great of a sacrifice involved Obedience is necessary for heaven (Matt. 7:21; Heb. 5:8-9)
