Managing Me

Let This Mind Be in You

Bishop Terry L. Hill, Jr.Sunday, September 20, 20261130am
📖 PHP.2.5
Philippians 2:5 shows us that managing our lives begins with managing our minds. Because God owns everything, including us, our thoughts and attitudes must be aligned with the mind of Christ. We are challenged to release entitlement, empty ourselves of pride, and choose obedience even when it costs comfort or recognition. Renewed thinking gives us greater capacity to serve God and one another with humility.
Key Points
1.
Managing life begins with managing the mind; our actions reveal what we truly believe.
2.
Adopt the mindset of Christ by living without entitlement and refusing to demand privilege.
3.
Practice necessary emptiness—humility that refuses to make self the center and increases capacity to serve.
4.
Well-managed minds produce noteworthy obedience, choosing God’s will even when it costs comfort or applause.
5.
Serving God requires releasing image-management and embracing obedience even when it feels humiliating.

Sermon Quote

You can't live a new life with a old way of thinking.

A new life and an old mind don't mix.

Knowledge isn't our problem. Obedience is our problem.

Some of us can't manage our mind because we are more committed to managing our image.

Managing Me 2026

Bishop Terry L. Hill, Jr. · Sep 20, 2026

First Corinthians 6:19–20 reminds us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and that we were bought with a price. God is the Owner, we are managers, and every part of life belongs under His direction. We are called to let the Holy Spirit guide our choices and to glorify God in body and spirit. Stewardship begins within us before it reaches our money, opportunities, relationships, or responsibilities.

Managing Me: Having the Mind of Christ

Biblical stewardship begins with managing ourselves, and lasting change begins in the mind. Philippians 2:1–8 calls us to adopt the attitude of Christ so our thoughts, intentions, and actions reflect God’s ownership of our lives. We are challenged to reject entitlement and practice necessary emptiness by releasing pride, privilege, and the need for recognition. A new life in Christ requires the ongoing renewal of an old mind.

Is Anything Too Hard for the Lord?

Bishop Terry L. Hill, Jr. · Sep 13, 2026

Genesis 18:14 confronts our unbelief with a decisive question: is anything too hard for the Lord? We can trust God’s promise even when pressure, delay, or present circumstances tempt us to dismiss what He has said. We are called to remain positioned, give God time, and praise while we wait. God can also use the people around us as part of the answer, reminding us that faith and community often work together.
