Servants of the Servant

Paul’s letter to the Philippians

Page 2: Philippians 6

5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

Page 3: Philippians 6

6 who, being in very nature God did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death – even death on a cross!

Page 4: Philippians 6

9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above

every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on

earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is

Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Page 5: Philippians 6

12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed – not only in my presence,

but now much more in my absence – continue to work out your salvation with

fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to

fulfill his good purpose.

Page 6: Philippians 6

14 Do everything without grumbling or arguing, 15 so that you may become

blameless and pure, ‘children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.’ Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky 16 as you hold

firmly to the word of life.

Philippians 2: 5 – 16

12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed – not only in my presence,

but now much more in my absence – continue to work out your salvation with

fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to

fulfill his good purpose.

with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which
