Holding onto anything too tightly?

Tuesday - 10/9 - Read Philippians 2:1-11

Are you holding onto anything too tightly? If anyone deserved to hold onto anything tightly, it was Jesus--to the full use of his deity--BUT HE DIDN'T!!!

That's amazing! If you spend too much time thinking on it, you'll get a headache, because it's overwhelming. Why would Jesus let go of His rights and privileges being God for you and me?

Why did Jesus do this? To serve you and me.

What do you have that you hold onto maybe a little bit too tightly? Time? Talents? Pride? A point of view? A personal preference? Energy? Comfort?

Are you holding onto these things too tightly in your family? Marriage? Workplace? Relationships and friendships? Church?

Would others benefit if you let go of these things for them?

Are you willing to let go of them? Will you?

Read James 5:13-20 for next Sunday
