Working Out What God Worked in Us

Conrad Hilario

Philippians 2:12-16

When Paul says, "Work out your salvation with fear and trembling," he was not saying to work for your salvation, fearing it won't be enough. Instead, he is saying to work to make evident the salvation God has already bestowed upon us as believers in Christ. And to do so with awe and reverence for it is God who is giving us the desire and power to live a changed life.

Forward From Here

Dennis McCallum

Philippians 3:10-16

The afterlife is what makes this life have any sense at all. If you are a billionaire in this life, it only lasts for the blink of an eye in light of eternity. If we understand where we are headed in eternity, it should dramatically influence how we live, the choices we make, the attitudes we adopt. We will accept suffering, forget what lies behind, reach forward to what lies ahead, press on, and have an eternal perspective.

The Second Coming of Christ

Mike Sullivan

Revelation 19:1-21

The Bible is clear, Jesus first came to earth as a suffering servant and he will return to earth as a conquering king. When he returns, he will defeat his enemies and will put an end to rebellion forever. Satan and his antichrist will be thrown into the lake of fire forever. There will be a wedding celebration for all those who have put their trust in Jesus to save them. If you are a believer, the question is are you ready for his return? As a non-believer, will you put your faith in Jesus and join the celebration?

Flourishing Spiritually in Old Age

Gary DeLashmutt

Psalms 71

Psalms 92 and 71 gives us ways to flourish spiritually as we approach our latter days. This time does not have to be a time of withdrawing and walking away from usefulness to God. Instead, it can be a time of great effectiveness in ministry and deepening closeness with the Lord as our physical and mental fitness is not what it used to be. We can actually be more effective as we depend more on the Lord than ever before.

Working Out What God Has Put In

Dennis McCallum

Philippians 2:12-16

To work out your salvation with fear and trembling may at first glance sound like we must work for our salvation with fear and doubt, but that is not at all what Paul is saying here. As believers, our salvation from the penalty of sin is eternally secure. Paul is encouraging us to live out the reality of the forgiveness that God has put into us at the moment we received his forgiveness. As we live in light of that truth, we will shine like stars to a watching world.

Shine Like Stars

Chris Risley

Philippians 2:12-18

Here, Paul discusses how we should respond to Christ's example of humility. He humbled himself by being obedient to the point of dying on a cross for the humans he so loves. We are called to follow his example of humility and obedience by "working out" in the example of our lives the salvation God has worked in us from the moment we accepted the free gift of forgiveness. This does not include grumbling or complaining! Instead our lives should be so different from the world that we shine like the stars.

Work Out What God Worked In

James Rochford

Philippians 2:12-16

Paul is not promoting working for your salvation. He is saying work out or live out the salvation God has worked into you when you asked for forgiveness for al your sins based upon the finished work of Jesus on the cross. It is God who is working in you to give you the desire and the power to live a life pleasing to him.

Answering the Call

Chris Hearty

Philippians 2:12-16

Paul calls upon the Philippians to answer the call that God has made on their lives. There are two aspects of how a believer in Jesus can grow. One aspect is God's role and the other is our role. God's role is to WORK IN his salvation for the person who asks for forgiveness. A believer's role is to WORK OUT his salvation with awe and reverence which means to live out what he already has, that is his salvation. So, the believer is not working for his salvation but living out the salvation he already has. God supplies the desire and ability to live out our salvation. Our responsibility is to respond to his ability which he freely supplies.

Jesus and the Samaritan Woman

Ben Foust

John 4:1-42

One might suppose the Samaritan woman at the well would be the least likely person to ever follow Jesus. She is the wrong gender, race, religion, and morality. The barriers are numerous. Yet, Jesus pursues the unlikely, like this sinful woman who doesn't even know she is thirsty. She learns she is very thirsty, and the only thing that will quench that thirst is a relationship with God. Jesus has removed every barrier to receiving the living water he offers.
