Faith Workout

Series: BREAKOUT
July 6, 2008

Opening:
Read Philippians 2:5-11 just as a refresher. Let the attitude of Christ soak in through prayer and silence for a few moments.

Digging Deeper:
Now, in the mind of Christ together, let’s get into a salvation workout. Read 2:12-13. What’s the difference between working out our salvation, and earning our salvation? What does it mean that God is working in us? Does this mean that God will force us to will and act according to his plans? What hope does God’s “good purpose” give us?
Talk about the workout equipment mentioned in the sermon: WATCH
  • Word of God
  • Attentive Prayer
  • Think it Through
  • Counsel of the Saints
  • Hand of God
Has God use one, all, or a combination of these in your life to help you work out your salvation?

Closing:
Break into 2 groups, men and women, and pray for one another.
