1. Shine among people like stars lighting up the sky, as you offer them the message of life Philippians 2:15

2. ‘Like stars...’ Give light – ‘on a lampstand’ Things of beauty – beautiful lives Delicate – modest –Light pollution of ‘the world the flesh and the devil’

3. ‘Like stars...’ Patterns which tell stories Ever changing yet predictable Incorporate others... –The travellers (planets, comets, asteroids)

4. ‘Like stars...’ Trustworthy for navigation There all the time –Even when you can’t see them Prophetic –Wrongly, as in astrology! –Rightly, as in pointing people to God

5. ‘Like stars...’ ‘...as you offer them the message of life’ –Both ‘...hold on to’ the message of life –And ‘...hold out’ the message of life Pray over one another... ‘Shine among people like stars lighting up the sky, as you offer them the message of life’ Amen
