Big Idea: Philippians 2:1-4 a great verse that explains Christs perfect love. If we are truly following the Lord then we should be able to humbly share God’s love from the depths of our hearts as lead by Jesus’s example. This verse really spoke to me when I read it.

It is the when we are able to love whole-heartedly with compassion for not just ourselves but the wellbeing of those around
