Doing What Jesus Did, Part 1 (The Vision)
Conference Theme: “Doing What Jesus Did.”

This is the first of two teaching sessions presented at the Vineyard Church of Columbus, Ohio.
November 16, 2002

In this episode, Dallas presents a compelling vision of who Jesus is, opening with a study of Philippians 2:5-11:

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
