Philippians: Becoming Selfless - Pastor Bronson Duke

It requires an incredible amount of humility to set aside our secondary preferences for the greater good of our community. It’s a high goal and often seems impossible to live selflessly as Philippians calls us to because we often have great faith in God’s ability to save our souls but often low faith in His ability to transform our hearts. The truth is - security in Christ is the only cure to a life of selfishness and that security that flows into service of others. 

“Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.”

Philippians 2:1-2 (NIV)

“By blood, I am Albanian. By citizenship, an Indian. By faith, I am a Catholic nun. As to my calling, I belong to the world. As to my heart, I belong entirely to the Heart of Jesus.”

Mother Teresa
