5. 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.”

6.  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,

7. Ask me:
• How is this crooked and perverse
generation affecting you?

8.  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,

9.  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)

10. 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?

11.  “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)

12.  16. holding fast the word of life =
Jesus

13. Ask me…
○ What keeps you from being able to hold fast
the word of life = Jesus?

14.  16. “so that I may rejoice in the day of
Christ that I have not run in vain or
labored in vain.”

15. 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?
