Dunkirk: Valuing Others Above Yourselves (Philippians 2:3-4)
In Dunkirk, small civilian boats cross the English Channel to rescue stranded soldiers. Mr. Dawson, a weekend sailor, pilots his yacht into a war zone. When a rescued soldier asks why a civilian would sail toward the danger, Dawson's son answers: "My brother." His RAF brother died in the war. Now he rescues other brothers. "Do nothing out of selfish ambition... value others above yourselves." The "little ships" of Dunkirk embody Philippians 2—ordinary people considering others' survival more important than their own safety. 400,000 soldiers were saved by neighbors who valued them above themselves.
