Treasure Valley Men's Rally Two

Lesson 2 of 4 March 19, 2017

The class began with a lighthearted welcome before diving into Philippians chapter 2, focusing on developing a fearless mind that mirrors Christ’s attitude. The teacher highlighted verse 5, urging men to adopt the same mindset as Jesus, and unpacked verses 2‑3, emphasizing unity, love, humility, and self‑lessness as essential to a transformed life. Supporting scriptures such as 1 Corinthians 2:16, Romans 12:1‑2, and Galatians 6:2, 5 were cited to reinforce the need for renewal of the mind and bearing one another’s burdens. He argued that while society seeks answers in government, education, or wealth, the true solution to sin’s problem is Jesus Christ and the mind He offers. The teacher then presented four simple qualities of Christ’s mind: love, fellowship, humility, and a desire to lift others’ burdens. Practical questions were posed for men to consider—how to reach non‑Christians, encourage one another, and lighten each other’s loads—inviting personal reflection and group discussion. The session concluded with a call for radical transformation within the church, urging each man to commit to living out the mind of Christ in everyday life.

Philippians 2:5

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus

Romans 12:1-2

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
