Series: Light In the Darkness

Ron Burtz

Philippians 2:6-11 details the eight steps of Christ's humbling to become our Savior. He stepped down from the splendor and glory of heaven to become like us in our humanity and thus became the perfect sacrifice for sin. This message examines the result of that humiliation by looking at the exaltation of Christ by God the Father. He is resurrected, ascended, crowned and becomes our intercessor with the Father. Join us as Pastor Ron Burtz celebrates the exaltation of Christ to become Lord of all.
