Friday Worship Service (January 17, 2020) Message Title: From The Inside Out Delivered by Ptr. James Feir

Summary: Everything in life requires energy. It takes energy to walk and to work. It takes energy to think and to meditate. It takes energy to obey and to worship God. The point of the present verse is that it takes spiritual energy to grow as a Christian, to live a life that is holy, fruitful, and pleasing to the Lord. The main verb in this verse, KATERGAZOMAI (work out), specifically calls for the constant energy and effort necessary to complete the task. In Philippians 2:12, Paul’s words suggest five truths that believers must understand to sustain such energy: Their Example, Their Obedience, Their Personal Responsibilities and Resources; and the Consequences of Their Sin.
