Sermon Outline

Philippians 2:14-16

We don’t produce light.

How is light shining in a crooked and twisted world?

The light that shines in the world is an act of our spiritual character.

The brightest lights shine from generous hearts.

This comes from the nature of Christ shining in the dark world.

What is the foundation of that nature?

  • Galatians 5:22-24

Having peace is easy when everything is going as we wish.

When things are going well, that is understandable peace.

Where does peace get destroyed in our lives?

Do we experience peace when the world is rocking our lives?

The Word of God gives us a clear prescription for developing peace in our garden.

Philippians 4:4-9

Some thoughts on peace:

  • Knowing what our peace is built on is the first step to peace that passes all understanding. We should build our lives, and how we view our lives, on the promises of the Lord.
  • Always remember the promise ofPhilippians 4:4-9. It is a reminder that “The Lord is at hand.”
  • What are we to do when faced with stress?
    • Philippians 4:6.
    • Present our emotions to the Lord.
  • What is the promise?
    • Philippians 4:7
  • Peace comes as we develop a right mindset.
    • Philippians 4:8-9.
    • The fight for peace is in our minds. Take your minds off the threats and worries.

When we do all this, the light of peace will shine brightly through us.
