Re-opening and Gathering Information
The Heartbeat
Philippians 2:1-7
"Are your hearts tender and compassionate? Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a bond servant."
We are compelled by the love of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:14-15) and we have the opportunity to show and share that love with others…Living In + Living Out God’s Love!
