Philippians 2:12-30

“It is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfil his good purpose” Philippians 2:13 (NIV)

As Christians we should conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of the Gospel (1:27)

Therefore … we “work out” our salvation (2:12 and 14-16)

some examples (2:17-30)

But we knowing it is God who is at work (2:13)

Don’t be afraid of opposition from those who do not believe (2:28-29)

And let humility shape the way you relate with those who do believe (2:1-4)

A life that is worthy of the Gospel of Jesus begins with humility and repentance…

Think of yourselves as Partners in the Gospel

Philippians 1:12-26

Paul writes to encourage the Philippians to stand firm (1:27 & 4:1)

He shares his joyful prayer for his partners in the Gospel (1:1-11)

and his positive perspective on challenges to their Gospel work (1:12-18)

He expresses his resolve – to do everything for Christ and His Gospel (1:18-26)

All of this encourages US too… as partners in the Gospel
