* In Paul's letter to the church of Philippi, he is calling them to remain unified in Christ. A major subtheme of the writing is that this koinonia - this common oneness - is attained when each believer begins to consider himself, or herself, as the doulos (bondslave) of Christ. Paul has referred to himself as a doulos of Christ and then declared his life purpose: "For me to live is Christ and to die is gain." Paul has then transitioned to challenging the church themselves to "let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus." * Paul then revealed how Jesus set the ultimate example of setting the value and needs of others above own's own. * Now Paul transitions into showing what this looks like in a truly human form through the servanthood testimonies of Timothy and Epaphroditus. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on October 4, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.
