Philippians 2:12-30: Work out your salvation---God, in Christ, works through you.

Rev. Jeremy Klaustermeier, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church in Warrenton, Missouri, joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study Philippians 2:12-20.

Paul is 800 miles from the Philippians, yet, he speaks to them as a beloved father speaks to his children. Paul exhorts them to holy living by holding fast to the truth of Christ (be blameless & innocent without grumbling or dispute). He reminds us also of the importance of fellow workers in the kingdom. He will be sending both Timothy and Epaphroditus to Philippi soon, not only for their edification, but for his joy of knowing that God’s Word would continue to move forward. In the same way, may we give thanks for the Word continuing to be proclaimed around the world and rejoice in His grace. “Lord God, thank you for all workers who proclaim the Word and help us to hold fast to Christ’s promises and be blameless with our actions, not for our glory but for Your good pleasure. In Christ, Amen”
