1. Philippians 2:1-11 (ESV)
So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others

2. Philippians 2:1-11 (ESV)
5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.   8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.  

3. Philippians 2:1-11 (ESV)
9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

6. Introduction
Philippians 2:1-2 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.

7. Main Idea
As we have joy in partnership in the Gospel, God calls us to follow Christ's example of humility.

8. Outline I. Humility is other focused
II. Humility is obedience to God's Desires
III. Humility leads to God's Glory

9. I. Humility is other focused
Philippians 2:3
3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others

10. I. Humility is other focused
Humility is not thinking less of yourself,
But thinking of yourself less.
- C.S. Lewis

11. II. Humility is obedience to God's Desires
Philippians 2:5-8
5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.   8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.  

12. III. Humility leads to God's Glory
Philippians 2:9-11
9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
