Church with Heart Rather than Walls

Philippians 1:27-2:4
Do nothing from selfish ambition or empty conceit,
but in humility regard others as better than yourselves.
from Philippians 2:3
.
The Apostle Paul writes that we should be of the same mind, share love, be in agreement, be humble rather than selfish or conceited, and be more concerned about the needs of others than our own.
Everyone agrees that these are good things. But what will we do when our feelings are hurt, we feel let down, or we don't get our way? How will we respond?
The Apostle also writes that we are to "live our lives in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ." This means that God's grace and mercy toward us are so deeply embedded in our hearts and lives that we can't help but forgive and love one another, as God has loved and forgiven us.
