Message Notes
Do everything without complaining or arguing so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life.” Philippians 2:14

What does it mean to “grow deeper spiritually?”
When did you most grow spiritually?

The ABC’s of Emotional Life:

• “A” stands for the word “Antecedent.” These are the things that happen to us; my circumstances or my situation.
• “C” stands for the word “Consequences.” This is how I feel about something. This is the way that I respond.
• “B” stands for my “Beliefs” about what happened to me. It is my Beliefs about what happened to me that ultimately determine the way I feel.

The ABC’s of Paul’s life:

•  A Paul’s Antecedents (his circumstances) - He is in chains.
• B His Belief - Jesus is Lord.
• C The Consequence to this is - I will rejoice.

Life is difficult. Jesus is Lord; therefore, I’ll rejoice.

Paul has a deeper aim for his life than pleasant circumstances.
His aim is to make his life a little conduit where God’s love and God’s grace and God’s power can be poured out into whatever circumstances he fi nds himself.

Our God is faithful.
