Sermon text: Philippians 2:5–11

Sermon Theme: That Name Christian(Part 2)

 

Introduction

Grace, mercy, and peace...

We seek the awareness that everyone who comes to God through Jesus Christ is seeking—one thing and one thing only—Life. In other words Christianity is not a dead religion.

The thing about life is this: everybody you talk to is either hoping or trying for a better life.

 

Who is a Christian?A person who is baptized by water and by the spirit and is a born again follower of Jesus, which means dying to self and living to Christ.

So here is the process that leads to a change:

• A new life in Christ
• A change of mind
• A change of attitude

His act of obedience

Two ways in which Jesus was obedient to his Father’s will:

• In holiness
• In service

Being Christians, we have been recreated to have the life of Christ—We have the same three responsibilities Christ did... to our families, our church, and our nation...

It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
