Discover how adopting the humble mind of Jesus Christ completely transforms your relationships, heals church disunity, and unlocks true kingdom promotion. In this powerful message from his foundational series, Making Sense of It All, Dr. David Jeremiah opens the Book of Philippians to unpack one of the greatest doctrinal passages in all of Scripture. True humility is highly misunderstood in our self-driven culture, yet the Apostle Paul uses the radical self-emptying of Jesus Christ to show us how to navigate personal conflicts and pride. When we measure ourselves against a holy God rather than the world around us, our perspective shifts from self-preservation to genuine kingdom purpose. Learn why structural division cannot survive where the mind of Christ is present. Dr. David Jeremiah teases three essential lessons on why life is not about your own desires at 07:58, how to handle relational friction at 12:54, and the ultimate danger of losing your humility the moment you think you have achieved it at 14:53. By looking closely at the historical reality of the ascension, Turning Point reminds us that the path to true exaltation always requires us to lower ourselves first. Q: What is the meaning of the Kenosis passage in Philippians 2? A: The Kenosis passage refers to the self-emptying of Jesus Christ, where He voluntarily laid aside His divine privileges to take on human form. Dr. David Jeremiah explains that this doctrine provides the ultimate blueprint for Christian humility and selfless relational harmony. Q: How do Christians practically develop genuine biblical humility? A: Biblical humility is developed not by thinking less of yourself, but by thinking of yourself less and focusing completely on God. True humility occurs when you measure your life against the immense majesty of Almighty God rather than comparing yourself to others. Q: What does the Bible say about resolving church disunity and conflict? A: The Apostle Paul addresses disunity by commanding believers to be like-minded and esteem others better than themselves. Dr. David Jeremiah notes that all interpersonal conflict stems from pride, which is instantly defeated when we adopt the sacrificial mind of Christ. 1.
