How should be credit the healing we experience? What should we value in a hero? What are you willing to sacrifice for the work of Christ? We invite you to discover more truths about the great man of God, Epaphroditus, an example of a servant, hero, and servant for the Savior.
Epaphroditus is a great example of someone who expresses the mind of Christ. He was a brother in Christ, companion in labor, fellowsoldier in battle, a messenger from Philippi, and a minister to Paul. Discover some important truths regarding what it means to have the mind of Christ.

What a good lesson in our sinful, selfish, self-centered nature, in our complaining, griping, and arguing, and how that hurts our witness! Bro. Jeff delivers a challenging, but encouraging message to all of us sons of Adam and daughters of Eve – we mustn’t whine, but we must shine!
What an amazing act of love Jesus Christ did! While keeping his deity, entirely and perfectly, He lowered himself to the role of being totally human. Even more awe-inspiring is the completely selfless and humble attitude He exampled for us in his humanity…that of a servant, a slave. Bro. Jeff encourages us to seek to be more selfless like our Savior.
“When Jesus thought about who He was, as equal with the Father, He didn’t think about what that would benefit Him. He thought in terms of what He needed to do to save us. Paul taught that you and I need to have that same kind of mind, one more concerned about others than what would benefit ourselves.” Here, Bro. Jeff focuses on the selfless attitude of Christ.
