    Philippians 2:5-11 has been called the greatest text on Christ ever written. Most preachers preach this text doctrinally. But Paul meant us to understand in terms of our personal relationships. See how Jesus’ example helps us get along with others.

    Our prayer life must begin with our relationship with our heavenly Father. God wants us to spend time in his presence even before anything else so we can know his heart. Only afterward should we pray for our needs and the needs of others.

    Last week we looked at how prayer is one of the primary ways in which we stay connected to God, or the way Jesus said it, to abide in him, or to be in a relationship with God. All of these terms describe the same thing. Prayer was how Jesus stayed connected to God his Father when he walked the ...read more
