Thinking about what Paul meant when he said to have the mind of Christ is a great way to prepare for worship. He gave us a letter that describes our relationship to Christ as well as the reasons to rejoice.
Our relationship to Christ
- Chapter 1 – Christ is our life and in control
- Chapter 2 – Christ was sent as a pattern for us
- Chapter 3 – Christ is the goal we should shoot for
- Chapter 4 – Christ is the joy and strength of our life
Rejoice in Christ
- Chapter 1 – Rejoice in evangelism and the opposition to darkness it causes
- Chapter 2 – Rejoice in Christ-like service
- Chapter 3 – Rejoice in our sufferings
- Chapter 4 – Rejoice in Christ-like living
