Text Box:     The Church is SERVICE Oriented   Text: Philippians 2:1-11 Thesis: Jesus is the perfect role model of one who was a servant to                    God and mankind. (Model means, “a pattern, example or                    standard that is or may be used for imitation or                comparison.”)    I. “Jesus was rich yet, for our sakes became poor.”(2Cor. 8:9)          A.  The Apostle Paul finds it necessary for the Church to stop and                    once again rediscover the _____________________ sacrifice                    Christ Jesus made for us.                1.  Jesus for our sakes took upon himself a role/nature that was                       far _____________________him.                  “being in very nature God did not consider equality with God                    something to be grasped.”(vs.6)                2.  “Jesus made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a                     ____________________ “(vs7)                3.  “being made in human likeness…found in ________________                       as a man.” (vs.7b, 8a)                4.  “He _________________________himself and became                       obedient to death-even death on a cross.”(vs8b)          B.  A lack of recognition of the Supreme sacrifice of Jesus will have at                least four negative effects in the Church.                1st  If you fail to recognize the supreme sacrifice of Jesus you will                     develop a flippant _________________________.              “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus.”(vs5)                2nd  A lack of recognition of Jesus’ supreme sacrifice will rob God                       of ____________________.               “Jesus was rich, yet for our sakes became poor.”(2Cor.8:9)                3rd  Those who fail to recognize Jesus’ supreme sacrifice will                        believe they __________________________ to be indulged.       “Doing nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility        consider others better than yourselves.”(vs3)                4th  Those who fail to recognize Jesus’ supreme sacrifice are less                        likely to ___________________ in sacrificial service.     “Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the       interests of others.”(vs4)
