Sermon: The Enemy Within: One of the Greatest Threats to the Church Philippians 2.1-4

The Enemy Within (Philippians 2:3–4) Paul puts his finger on the real church-killer in Philippians 2:3–4: a heart that must be first, must be seen, must be right, must be served. Pride doesn’t just ruin relationships—it corrodes unity, suffocates joy, and makes the church look nothing like Christ. In this message we unpack Philippians 2:3–4 and explore: • What “selfish ambition” and “conceit” actually look like in everyday life • Why pride is spiritual poison (even when it looks “respectable”) • How “count others more significant” is not weakness—but Christlikeness • The difference between humility and self-hatred • How God grows real unity through others-centered love The fight isn’t mainly against “them.” It’s against the enemy within—my demand to be central. And the cure isn’t willpower. It’s the mind of Christ, the humility of Christ, and the grace of Christ reshaping us into a people who love like He loves. 📖 Text: Philippians 2:3–4 💬 Question: What form does pride most often take in your heart—comparison, control, criticism, or craving recognition?
