Philippians 2:5-15
As a follower of Christ three ideas are settled:
These three truths set our lives on a purposeful trajectory with Jesus as our Lord.
We are to shine as lights in a dark world.
How do we do that?
Let me give you two thoughts:
1. In our works
Matthew 5:14-16
We shine as we serve others.
2. Through our character
The demonstrated life of the believer.
We need the light to shine brightly in the world through the church, but it must also shine brightly through the witness of believers in life: the witness of love, joy, and peace being evident every day to those around us.
Philippians 2:14-15
God does not expect us to do this on our own.
God will be a light in us so that by nature we walk in His character.
Love, Joy, and Peace
