SUMMARY

Trevor Richt reflects on Christ’s humble example in Philippians 2, where Jesus emptied Himself to take on the posture of a servant. The sermon points out that heavenly greatness is measured by humble service rather than seeking status or personal accolades. Believers are called to empty themselves of obstacles such as pride, selfishness, and wrong attitudes in order to serve God and others effectively.
