Whoever told us "sticks and stones may break are bones, but words will never hurt..." may have coined a memorable phrase but it's a wishfully-thought, sugarcoated falsehood. Few things under the sun are more powerful than words - they can destroy or give life - and this makes sense as children of a Creator who spoke light from darkness and whose Word become flesh and dwelt among us. So, are we people whose words build up or tear down? And, if we know the word of life, how should this inform our speech in the church and the world? Tune in as we continue to take spiritual inventory this summer and seek to be the people God called us to be.
Pastor Skip explains why humility "greases the gears of relationship"—and how adding a little humility might change even your most difficult relationships.

In Philippians 2:5–11, Paul points believers to Jesus Christ as the perfect example of humility. Though Jesus is fully God, He willingly took the form of a servant, became human, and humbled Himself by becoming obedient even to death on a cross.Because of His obedience, God highly exalted Him. Jesus is not only our example of humble living—He is also the One who empowers believers to follow His example.

Press toward the goal- Paul the apostle was not so prideful to say that he was on some spiritual level higher than the rest. His goal was to always be pressing on toward the prize of knowing Jesus. Circumstances will change but knowing Jesus more should be a constant desire.
Commending and warning- Timothy and Epaphroditus were commended by Paul as faithful and like-minded servants of Christ. In contrast, Paul warned the Philippians to beware of those who are evil workers and "seek their own."
