The Secret to a Happy Family (3 of 7)
Series: Family Foundations

Philippians 2:1-4
Intro/Attention
I’m in a sermon series on Sunday mornings called, Family Foundations.

But where does this character come from? Initially, Sinek kept arriving at the same assumption: ‘‘These are just a special class of people. They’re better than us.’’ But while working in Afghanistan, Sinek had an experience that revised this premise. He explains: Everything on our trip went wrong. We actually got stuck there because the base came under rocket attack when I was there. And it was through this experience where I learned what service rea ...
