Episode 10

This week your family will GET INTO Philippians 2:4-5. You’ll be reminded to have the ATTITUDE of Jesus and put the INTERESTS of others front and center as you ACT IT OUT this week with your family.

So, gather your family, stream the video, and … GET INTO IT.

After the video remind your family that this week you’ll TALK IT UP and ACT IT OUT together. You’ll find ways you can HAVE the ATTITUDE of Jesus as you LOOK for ways to honor the INTERESTS of other people.

It’s easier to LOOK for ways to honor the INTERESTS of others when we are filled with the peace, love, and joy that Jesus gives us! Let’s worship with Andrew Osenga and his daughters, Sadie and Charlotte, and ask God to give us an attitude like Jesus’! Download the lyrics here.

As you TALK IT UP this week, keep track of ideas your family has for ways to ACT OUT the truths of Philippians 2:4-5. And TALK IT UPWARDS by praying together. Ask God to help the ATTITUDE of Jesus grow in your hearts as you ACT IT OUT together.

What’s something you HAVE that you’d defend if robbers showed up? How would you protect it? What’s the plan?
