Shine Like Stars

Speaker – Crispin Schroeder

Text: Philippians 2:14-16

I.               Intro: The Culture of Complaining

II.              (Exodus 15:1-3) Grumbling and complaining lead to…

·      Romanticizing the past

·      Becoming a victim

·      Minimizing God and magnifying problems (inverted worship)

III.            God is still at work in the wilderness (Deuteronomy 8:2-4)

·      Bigger than bread alone

·      Our wellbeing is not tied to Egypt or Rome but to our relationship with God.

·      The wilderness is a place of miraculous provision

·      The temptation of the Philippian church

IV.            Conclusion: Shine like stars

·      Lives of contrast
