To study Philippians 2 in a group
1. What it says
What attitude does Paul ask for in verses 3 and 4, and what example does the Messiah give (v. 5-8)?
2. What it means
Why do you think Paul links the Messiah's humility with his exaltation (v. 6-11)? What does that teach?
3. How I live it
Paul asks that everything be done without grumbling or arguing (v. 14). Where in your day could you try that?
