Be The Light! Philippians 2:12-18

B. _______________ blameless and pure – v. 15a

C. _______________ the light – v. 15b

At Home Study Guide For the week of July 31, 2016 Quick Review As you read Philippians you can't help but notice how much Paul loves the young church he helped plan a dozen years earlier. He wanted God's very best for them. Chapter two continues Paul's encouragement to live in humility as they work out their salvation with fear and trembling. This idea of working out your salvation is to give all of your strength to the spiritual wellbeing of the community of faith both individually and as a group. Striving for God, will keep the Philippians from missing out on the benefits of obedience. Fear and trembling are a mark of reverence and awe before God. Just as Jesus revered the Father in 2:5-11, so too the believer is to live in complete devotion to God. To live in this way, will result in the believer being a light shining bright to a dark world. Questions Was anything confusing or uniquely challenging to you from the message on Sunday?

Fear and trembling aren't always a comfortable way of describing our posture before God. How does Mark 16:8 help you better understand Paul's language in Philippians 2:12?

2. _______________ it Out – vv. 16-18 Where do you see this idea of working out your salvation 2:12 in 2:1-4? Are there other parts of Philippians where this theme is repeated?

To Go Confess to someone a sin in your life that you can now honestly say has remained because you stopped fearing God. Put a jar on your counter at home and every time you or someone else complains or argues, drop a quarter in the jar. Take some time this week and share your story with someone letting them know how your life changed after giving your life to Christ.

In Matthew 5, Jesus told his followers they would be salt and light? How does Matthew 5 inform your understanding of Philippians 2?

Carefully consider 2:14-16; for some of us, complaining and arguing are second nature. This week, how can you specifically combat the sin of complaining and arguing?
