Vineyard Leadership Institute

Thesis: Those who humble themselves will be exalted.This is the final part of a three part series called The Worthy Life. I did this sermon for VLI.

The Worthy Life:
1. Maintaining Unity through Humility (Philippians 2:1-4)
2. Be Like Christ (Philippians 2:5-8)
3. Exaltation (Philippians 2:9-11)

Series: The Worthy Life
Title: Exaltation (Philippians 2:9-11)

Thesis: We must have humility to maintain the unity needed to advance the gospel.This is a sermon I wrote for VLI last quarter. We were required to do at least one sermon from Philippians 2, but I'm a series kind of guy, so all three of my sermons are from Philippians 2. :-) This first sermon was probably my weakest one. I made the mistake of utilizing too much text for a 15 minute sermon. The end result was a very dense sermon that actually lasted 22 minutes. This would have been MUCH better as two separate sermons.

The Worthy Life:

Subject: Jesus calls us to be compassionate to everyone despite the high costs. Complement: Our compassion is a catalyst for restoring the broken. Central Thesis: Jesus calls us to be compassionate to everyone, despite the high costs, because he desires to restore human brokenness.This sermon is part of a 3-part sermon series I did for Vineyard Leadership Institute.
