Philippians 2: 14-16

14. Do all things without complaining and disputing,

15. that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

16. holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.”

15. (so) that you may become

blameless and harmless, children of

God without fault in the midst of a

crooked and perverse

generation, among whom you shine as

lights in the world,

Ask me:

• How is this crooked and perverse

generation affecting you?

14. ???

15. (so) that you may become

blameless and harmless, children of

God without fault in the midst of a

crooked and perverse

generation, among whom you shine as

lights in the world,

14. Do all things without complaining

and disputing…

15. (so) that

○ you may become blameless and harmless

○ children of God without fault

○ (in the midst of a crooked and perverse

generation

○ among whom you shine as lights in the world)

Ask me…

Are there things that in me/our local

church that cause you to complain? Are

there things you would want to dispute?

Are there things that create so much

“angst” in your spirit, that you’ve lost

the ability to love?

Are you able to forgive?

“Be angry and do not sin; do not let the

sun go down on your anger, and give no

opportunity to the devil.” (Eph 4:26-27

ESV)

16. holding fast the word of life =

Jesus

Ask me…

○ What keeps you from being able to hold fast

the word of life = Jesus?

16. “so that I may rejoice in the day of

Christ that I have not run in vain or

labored in vain.”

Ask me…

Do you feel like you are running in vain

or laboring in vain? How can I / our

church run alongside you in what you’re

doing?

Do you have anything to rejoice over or

are things looking pretty bleak right

now?
