In today’s episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, we pause to reflect on one of the most profound truths of the New Covenant: God revealed His glory not by distancing Himself from humanity, but by drawing near in humility. In the First Pour, we walk through Philippians 2:5–7 and consider what it truly means that Christ emptied Himself, not by losing divinity, but by taking the form of a servant. We explore how Jesus fulfills the Old Covenant expectations that Israel could not, and how His humility becomes the pattern and power for New Covenant living.
In the Second Pour, we celebrate a January 14 birthday, wishing a happy birthday to Kaeson, and we remind our community of the opportunity to gather tonight for mid-week Bible study at BBC.
In the Final Pour, Wednesday’s Word of the Week is Listen. We consider both its simple meaning and its deeper New Covenant significance, where listening flows not from obligation, but from a transformed heart shaped by Christ and guided by the Spirit.
