Living Like Jesus In A Grasping World

Pastor Kevin Rutledge - 5/17/2026 10:00 AM

In a world that teaches us to hold tightly to power, status, and control, Jesus shows us another way. In Philippians 2, Paul shares one of the earliest hymns of the church. We receive a vision of Christ who did not cling to privilege, but emptied himself in love, taking the form of a servant. Through humility, compassion, and self-giving love, Jesus reveals the very heart of God.

This week, we’ll explore what it means to have “the mind of Christ” in our relationships, our communities, and our everyday lives. What would change if we stopped grasping for greatness and instead embraced the way of humble love?
