Let This Mind Be in You
Today we continued the “Managing Me” series by centering on Philippians 2:5 and the call to manage ourselves by first managing our minds. We were reminded that God owns everything—including us—so our lives are meant to be stewarded, and a transformed life requires a renewed way of thinking that aligns with Jesus.
From Jesus’ example, we were challenged to reject entitlement, embrace the kind of humility that empties self without denying identity, and pursue obedience that goes beyond what is comfortable or convenient. The invitation was to stop protecting image at the expense of God’s will and to choose a mindset that makes room for real change—so we can live as people who truly acknowledge God’s control and walk in the managed life He desires.

The message challenged us to stop treating Scripture as if it only applies to one area (like sexual sin) and instead to let God’s ownership govern e…
Managing Me: Having the Mind of Christ

We continued part two of the series “Managing Me,” learning that biblical stewardship begins before money, time, talents, or the body—it begins with managing ourselves. Since God is the owner of everything, including us, our first act of stewardship is to recognize our role as management, not ownership, and to let God shape our “operating system,” our minds—our thoughts, intentions, feelings, beliefs, and settled disposition that guides outward behavior. Philippians 2:1–8 (with emphasis on Phi…
Is Anything Too Hard for the Lord?
Bishop Terry L. Hill, Jr. · Sep 13, 2026
The service builds in extended worship focused on God’s worthiness and on praise as a spiritual weapon, with testimonies of God’s mercy in preserving lives through accidents and illness and a call to trust God even when facing pressure. Psalm 18:1 is read to frame God as strength, fortress, savior, and shield, and the congregation repeatedly affirms praise, worship, and dependence on the Lord through songs such as “You are Alpha and Omega,” “Praise is What I Do,” and “No one can worship You for…
