Focus text: Philippians 2:1-13 How do we press on together? What does it take to live well as a community? In Philippians 2, Paul lays it out clearly: “Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus.” Easy to say, but difficult to understand, much less do. Even for Paul. I often wonder if that’s why he chooses a song to explain what he means—because a theological treatise is not nearly as effective as a song at describing what it means to have the same mind as Christ. And not just any song—a hymn, a song sung in community with others. How do we live like Christ? We live in humility and grace together. In full accord.
