Philippians 2 ESV and Audio
Christ’s Example of Humility
Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Build Your House on the Rock
25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”

SERMON NOTES
Sunday, August 7, 2022
THE UPSIDE-DOWN KINGDOM
Message: Built for Life
Scripture: Matthew 7:25-27 ESV
Pastor Philip Miller
Life is learned, and we’re all learning how to live from someone. And at the end of the day, we will live our lives in one of three ways: by Default (replicating familial patterns), by Drift (doing what everyone else is doing), or by Design (building your life with intention).
In this sermon, we explore two philosophies of life, one religious and one secular, and compare these to a third way, the Way of Jesus.
Moralistic Therapeutic Deism
- Moralistic Therapeutic Deism: God set up the world to work best for those who live rightly; so, if you want a whole and happy life now and Heaven when you die, be good. The problem is if you try to build your life on this philosophy, it simply can’t support the weight of your life. It won’t be able to handle the pressures that come your way, and in the end, it’ll collapse. Moralistic Therapeutic Deism is sinking sand.
Expressive Individualism
- Expressive Individualism: Life is about finding our deepest, inner self and expressing it authentically in the face of all expectations; so, if you want a whole and happy life, be yourself. The problem is if you try to build your life on yourself, it simply can’t support the weight of your own life. It won’t be able to handle the pressures that come your way, and in the end, it’ll collapse. Expressive Individualism is sinking sand.
Gospel-Centered Life in Jesus
- Gospel-Centered Life in Jesus: We are made for abundant life with God, a relationship we lost because of our sin, but one that Jesus gave Himself to restore; so, if you want a whole and happy life with God now and forever, believe in Jesus. If I’m building my life on what I do, or if I’m building my life on who I am, at the end of the day, my life is built on myself. And I’ll never be enough because it’s a life built on sand. But if I build my life on whose I am, at the end of the day my life is built on Jesus. And He is always enough, so it’s a life built on The Rock.
Takeaway: On whom is your life built?

PASTOR TO PEOPLE
What an amazing week we had at Summer Blast! After losing a couple years in the pandemic, Summer Blast was back in full-swing this week. We had 300 kids in attendance this week learning about Joseph from the Bible, connecting with friends, energetically singing, and discovering the monumental love of God that has come near in Jesus. It was truly an amazing week!
I want to give a big shout out to our Director of Children’s Ministry, Michele Forrider for her dedication to our kids and her capable leadership in spearheading Summer Blast. I’m also so grateful for the servant-hearted leadership of our co-director Kara Kosloskus and the Summer Blast Leadership team: Rochelle Gundu, Jillian Huff, Katherine Drescher, Jocelyn Carter, and Heidi Stafford.
In addition we had 180 volunteers who served in various capacities this week, many who took personal vacation time to be here. A huge thank you to each one of you!
You are loved, more than you know!
