Self Emptied Life
September 21st, 2003
Man made religious are self-focused
Seeking self - not seeking God
What can I get mentality
Phillpipians 2:1-5
- the more we empty ourselves - the more we are filled
- Most challenging = mind of Christ
- Any other mind, is a compremised
- Jesus - went from one extreme to another
- How hard was it to give up his deity?
- We have it easier!
Satan says fill yourself - God says empty yourself and I will fill you up
You have nothing to lose - should love the battle
We are too aware of ourselves!
Jesus made himself a loser
Why do you feel empty? Not growing
Examples:
Timothy
Phillpipians 2:19-24
- No one else like him
How do feel about this?
Epaphroditus
Phillpipians 2:25-30
- Not an eventdaily decision
Paul, himself
Phillpipians 3:4-11
