The Profession of Faith of CS. As we enter the second chapter in our Philippians sermon series we take a look at the example of Christ in the life of the church. We can’t be humble in ourselves but we feel very humbled when we focus on Jesus and what He sacrificed for us. This […]
The standards by which God judges faithful ministry are the opposite to the values of this world. Themes within this sermon focus on the godly humility of leaders, marks of true spiritual ministry, the union with the sufferings of the cross, and the need for all Christians to have the gracious mind of Christ.
