Thinking Like Jesus

Oct 2, 2022    Brock Tharpe

This message, part of the Shine series on the book of Philippians, explores Philippians 2:5–11—a powerful Christological hymn that captures both the humility and exaltation of Jesus Christ. Brock walks through the text to show how verses 5–8 challenge believers to replicate the mind of Christ—one marked by surrender, obedience, and selflessness. Jesus, though equal with God, chose not to grasp for power but to submit fully to the Father, taking on the form of a servant and obeying to the point of death on a cross.


In this message, Brock emphasizes the importance of releasing our illusion of control and allowing God to be God in our lives. He calls listeners to adopt Jesus' mindset: to stop trying to play God, to live in full submission, and to walk in humility. This is not just theology—it’s a call to transformation, urging us to trust God more deeply and reflect Christ more clearly in how we think, live, and serve.
