Transcript

Scripture: Philippians 2:12-18

SHOW NOTES:

Paul offers wise words of instruction for his dear friends in Philippi. The first word, therefore, ties us back to the example of Christ’s obedience (2:5-11). As the believers in Philippi considered what this message meant to them, Paul gave them a challenging command. The Philippians would have to learn to stand on their own two feet spiritually, whether Paul returned to be with them or if his life was taken in Rome.

Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent
- Philippians 2:14-15

How do we act? What do we say to God and others? Do we grumble, complain, and murmur? Many times, we have an argumentative spirit or attitude.

When the Israelites were in the wilderness, they grumbled and murmured, arguing with and challenging Moses. “What have you done? You’ve brought us into the wilderness to die. It would have been better for us to stay in Egypt.”

Holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.
- Philippians 2:16

These people are brothers and sisters in Christ. Paul was sent to Philippi to share the Good News of Jesus, and they received the gift of salvation. Paul encourages them to live boldly and shine brightly.
