Outrageous JoyJoy in the Race: Philippians 2:12-16October 19, 2014Outrageous Joy: a study of the Epistle (letter) to the Church at Philippi (Philippians). Michael’s Personal Goal: To do all things without grumbling or complaining Do everything without grumbling or arguing. Philippians 2:14Work In-Work Out (V 12-13) App: We are to work out that which God is working in us For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:1615 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. 18 As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. John 17:15, 18“For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.” John 3:17 “work out the salvation that God has given you with a proper sense of awe and responsibility.” Philippians 2:12b, JB Philips TranslationV 14: Finding Pay Dirt (V 14-16)App: Don’t complain; shine“You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: 9 If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. 11 As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.” Romans 10:8b-11What is God’s Spirit speaking into your life today? How must you respond?
