Count Others More Significant

Philippians 2:3

“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.” The command is not a denial of one’s own worth. It is the deliberate choice to treat the interests of others as weighty. In a culture of self-promotion, the practice remains radical.

How you’d preach it

Direct and difficult. The default of the flesh is self-preference.
