“Humiliation And Exaltation”
Pastor Zach Pummill • Philippians 2:1-11 • June 7, 2026
SERMON OVERVIEW
“The humble will be exalted”
The church must face suffering together in unity and love. This requires rejecting selfish ambition and the hunger for personal glory, humbly valuing others and attending to their interests. Jesus provides the supreme pattern: although God, he emptied himself, became a servant, and endured death on a cross.
His humiliation, however, was not the story’s end; God highly exalted him.
Those united to Christ likewise share both his sufferings and his future glory. Therefore, believers can embrace humble service, face trials together, and surrender their plans with hope. Remembering their promised resurrection and exaltation gives them courage to follow Christ’s pattern: humble yourself before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
