The Word This Week in Philippians (Philippians 2:12-18)

Beloved in the LORD, we are continuing our sermon series in Philippians.  This week we hear the encouragement to do God's will who works out his will in us.  To God be the glory!

Philippians 2:12-18

12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.

14 Do everything without complaining or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe 16 as you hold out the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing. 17 But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. 18 So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.

You  may have noticed that we are memorizing portions of Philippians as a church. This week's memory verse is Phil. 2:12b-13 

"Continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose."
