In this sermon from The Garden Life Church, we begin the *“Let This Mind”* series by walking through **Philippians 2:5-8**, where the Apostle Paul calls believers to adopt the same mindset that was in Christ Jesus. This message challenges us to move beyond shallow Christianity and choose a life marked by humility, obedience, service, and surrender.
Even after salvation, we still have the responsibility of renewing our minds. God has given us the Holy Spirit, the Word of God, Christian community, and the example of Jesus Christ to help us live a life worthy of Him. Through Christ’s example, we learn what it means to empty ourselves, take the form of a servant, and walk in humility before God.
In this message, we explore:
• Why the renewed mind matters in the life of the believer
• What it means to adopt the mentality of Christ
• How Jesus emptied Himself for the sake of humanity
• Why true service is a choice, not just a command
• How humility positions us to walk in step with our Savior
• How Philippians 2 teaches us to live with obedience, surrender, and Christ-centered purpose
Jesus did not cling to privilege. He poured Himself out, took on the form of a servant, and humbled Himself to the point of death on the cross. As followers of Christ, we are called to let His mind become our mentality.
