4. The Upside-Down Kingdom (Philippians 1:27-2:11)
Why is there war? Why are there divisions? Why can’t human beings just find a way to get along? According to the Bible, the answer is pride. Our pride makes us harm those around us so that we can be first. But Philippians 2 shows us that pride has a cure—because while everyone else was climbing up the ladder to make themselves first, Someone climbed down the ladder to make Himself last.
