Stop Your Griping and Complaining!

2025 THEME: Burning Hearts

Title: Stop Your Griping and Complaining!

Scripture: Numbers 11-27

“Do everything without complaining and arguing (some translations us “disputing”), so that no
one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a
world full of crooked and perverse people.” Phil. 2:14-15

I.   WHEN IT SEEMS THAT’S ALL YOU DO

Why is complaining so bad? “Complaining is always dangerous because it causes us to be willing
to question the goodness and faithfulness of God.” {PDT-February 16)

II. A DECLARATION TO CHANGE

5 Things to Do Instead of Complaining:

      1. Practice Gratitude
      2. Praise Others
      3. Focus on Success
      4. Let Go
      5. Pray and Read Scripture
