Become New with John Ortberg

Today we continue our series, Shine, as we explore the book of Philippians and understand how to stand out as the light of Jesus in our daily lives. Let’s start the week with some good (but not always easy) news: your circumstances do not have to determine your perspective. As we continue through Philippians this lesson is a consistent theme. Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

As we kick off today’s episode of Shine, consider this question: Who is the most difficult person in your life right now? A family member? Maybe a coworker or a friend? Paul knew people like that, too. In Philippians 1, he talks about brothers and sisters in Christ who were trying to cause trouble for him while he was in prison. Paul says that some were operating out of love, but some were motivated by selfish ambition. His response to this is remarkable. Translated from the Greek, he uses two little words: “So what?” The motives of others didn’t derail the direction of his life. The gospel was still being advanced.

This is your day to shine. The only thing is… (tough news incoming) shining won’t be in your ideal situation. Shining means right now, right where you are, right in the middle of your current circumstances.  Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

Very often, we plan about the things in our lives, but it’s not often that we plan the person we will become. Today, as we continue through Shine, we’re asking these questions: What are your spiritual goals? Who would you like to become today? Keep those in your back pocket as we dive into our teaching.  Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

When should we be confident? That’s what we’re studying today as we look at Paul’s teachings to the church of Corinth. The world often lives by self-confidence. Do we have it all together? Are we successful? Are we winning? But Paul was confident in a different way.  Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.
