The Wrong Ingredient

Mar 23, 2025    Pastor Timothy Giles

Complaining - The Ingredient of Staying Stuck


Scriptures: 

Deut. 1:3;27, Exodus 16:7, 1 Cor 10:10, Gen 3:1-6


Message (Big idea):

Complaining and grumbling keep you stuck in your situation


Meditation (Think about it):

- Israel's complaints kept them from the promise land

- When you start to grumble, God takes it personally

- Entrust yourself to God's provision and protection


Motivation (What can I do):

List two things you not grumble about:

1.

2.


Antonyms: rejoice, accept, endure, tolerate,


Complaining speaks ill with no intention or responsibility to resolve. It is given to someone else in order to disparage those who may be able to fix a perceived wrong but is used to destroy their character.

Complaining is destructive, it tears down and piles on. Seeking for truth and then understanding is what helps you to deal with legitimate things that are not operating properly or as you expected. Perhaps your expectations weren't correct or the timeline wasn't understood.
