Pastors' Friday Reflections

I hope you are enjoying this beautiful September Friday! The trees are getting anxious for fall as the lightness of green turns to reds and yellows. Stepping outside brings an instant lift of joy.

This month, we've been focusing on  the Book of Philippians, sometimes described as "a Letter of Joy."

Come to worship this Sunday, and hear about something Paul calls "humility" in Philippians 2:1-11. Paul also calls it "the mind of Christ."

"Make my joy complete," says Paul. In Christ, face your own slavery, and so become free like no one has ever been free before. In Christ, face your own death, and so live like no one has ever lived before. In Christ, face the ultimate in pain and shame, and so dismantle fear like no one has ever done before.

That's what I call ambition. Curiously, that's what Paul calls humility.

See you Sunday, as we focus on Outrageous Humility.
