Burning Hearts with Rachel Herbeck

Jesus gives us the ultimate model of discipleship, that we should have the mindset of humility that He had and become obedient to the Father even to the point of death.

As we desire to grow in humility and imitating Jesus, we are encouraged to stay open to the work that God is doing in us and not close ourselves off to the work of God.

Building on our episode yesterday, today we discuss how keeping our eyes on ourselves does not bear fruit. Paul encourages us to look, to keep our eyes on others, to look at the needs, feelings and desires of others before our own and to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus.

One of the main thing that separates us from Christ and one another is a preoccupation with self. As we receive God’s love, we grow in our ability to see the needs of others.

This week we dive into Philippians 2 where Paul discusses how to cultivate unity within the body of Christ. We receive an encouragement from Paul to love each other, not with our own strength but with the same love of Christ.
