Double Down on the Cross

About this sermon

Philippians 2 is called the “hinge of history.” Jesus, though in very nature God, humbled Himself to death on a cross. Therefore God exalted Him, giving Him the name above every name. John calls this the greatest strategy for life: double down on the cross. True greatness and true life flow from self-giving love, and the simple but ultimate confession: Jesus Christ is Lord. 00:00 — What is the greatest strategy for life? 00:22 — What is the most important phrase Christians can say? 01:16 — Philippians 2: the oldest words about Jesus 01:57 — Jesus humbled Himself to death on a cross 02:31 — Why “as a consequence, therefore” matters 03:17 — The hinge of history explained 04:03 — Why humility always leads to exaltation 05:06 — What does it mean to double down on the cross? 06:33 — What name is above every name? 07:19 — Why “Jesus Christ is Lord” seemed ludicrous then 08:19 — Why Jesus, not Caesar, defines history 09:25 — How calendars themselves point to Christ 10:23 — Why love, not power, defines reality 11:05 — What it means to double down in daily life 11:55 — How to shine by serving others Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.
