SCRIPTURE

Philippians 2:12-13

BIG IDEA

Trust the Person, Trust the Process.

OUTLINE

Foundational Truth

  1. Transformation starts with God’s grace.
  2. Spiritual growth is a joint project between God and me.

Applicational Truth

  1. Think differently by reflecting on Scripture.
  2. Cooperate when the Spirit prompts your heart to action.
  3. Choose your response to adversity.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

  1. Do you find yourself trying to earn your way to heaven or earning God’s acceptance?
  2. Paul says to “work out,” not to “work for” your salvation. Why is this important?
  3. Have you been frustrated by your spiritual progress? What did Pastor Steve mean by “Trust the person; Trust the process”?
  4. What has helped you make progress in your spiritual life? What role has Scripture reflection played in your growth?
  5. Someone said, “Life is 10% what happens and 90% how we respond.” Do you agree?
