Don't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: Ezekiel 36:26-27, Philippians 2:12-18

Sermon Outline

What is your approach to the life of faith? Casual or committed? Restful or exhausting? In our passage, Paul shows us that life in Christ involves both our work and God's work.

  • Our Work – we must take responsibility for our own faith and obedience. We cannot use someone else's spiritual effort. To grow in Christ, we must get involved.
  • God's Work – but it's not all up to us! Our efforts alone will not bring about spiritual growth. We must learn to work with, and call on, the power of the Holy Spirit inside of us.
    • Sermon Application
    1. For you, is faith a gondola ride or a solo kayak adventure?
    2. Why does Paul tell them to work out "your own" salvation?
    3. What kind of work is God doing in us? Will he complete it?
    4. Where does God go to work in us? Just at the level of our behavior or is it deeper?
    5. Give an example of when you felt like you were in sync with the Holy Spirit.
      6. Questions?
