Welcome to the table! In the fifth episode in our study of Philippians we take on Paul’s exhortation to seek unity and apply humility to all of our relationships. Easier said than done! It seems everywhere we turn there’s a headline or a conversation about how divided we are as a nation. The Church isn’t doing much better. Kimberly and I try to stay in our lane. We talk about our struggles with self and with pride. Honestly, our side is pretty bleak until we read the beautiful verses about the example of Christ. 

The Church at Philippi’s lack of unity led to this incredible theological statement about Christ. This is pretty deep water for me to try to teach on so I mostly bring us to the edge of it to behold Christ’s greatness and triumph. I may not be able to grasp the depth of this well but it makes my heart sing! These verses will surely be your bright spot for this episode.
