Let This Mind Be In You (41 min)
David West expounds Phil 2:1-11 a key Christological passage that outlines the nature of the person of our Lord Jesus Christ; His stoop down to the cross, and His exaltation back to the throne in heaven.

Because of a lack of unity in Philippi, and the need for the Philippians to have the same attitude as Christ if unity is to be restored (Message preached 13th Dec 2018)

Michael Penfold expounds Philippians Ch 2.

The difficult Christological passage (2:5-7) is discussed in its context (Message preached 14th Mar 2013)
