The Lowdown on the High Road (4 of 6)
Series: Attitude for Altitude
Pastor Jeff Schreve
Philippians 2:3-11

And today, we want to talk about the attitude that so many people forget about, the attitude that is so critical, but so forgotten, the attitude that the Bible says brings the grace of Almighty God. It's the attitude that Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, had. You say, „What attitude is that?" It's the attitude of humility. Jesus said, "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me. Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for ...
