Sermons on Sacrifice

Philippians 2:1-11 from April 5, 2020

We keep it simple and look at three ways to respond to this remarkable reading, a hymn of the ancient church, today: We are to contemplate what Christ has done, become a people who witness what Christ has done, and learn to live what Christ has done.

Hebrews 12:18-29 from August 25, 2019

Philippians 3:4b-14 from April 7, 2019
