Philippians [Part 4] Shine Like Stars


Shine Like Stars 

Philippians 2:12-18


1) We work out what God has worked in.   (vs. 12-13) 

(James 2:18, Ephesians 2:8-10) 

• Obedience to God is the visible expression of inward transformation.   

2) Live without complaining so you can shine without compromising. (vs. 14-15) 

• Grumbling dims the light of your witness.  • Holiness isn’t weird—it’s just bright in a dark world. 

3) Grip the gospel and never let go. (vs. 16) 

• Holding firm means more than reading—it means building your life on it. 

4) Choose joy even when it costs you. (vs. 17-18) 

• Joy isn’t circumstantial—it’s sacrificial.
