There's a huge tension between God's sovereignty and our free will. Join Chip as he wrestles with this tension and finds answers in Philippians, Chapter 2, to the question: How do we "work out" what God has already "worked in"?

Two critical questions

What can we expect from God?
What does God expect from us?

Church history: Two views concerning God’s expectations

J. CALVIN
J. ARMINUS

God’s Word rejects both extremes and hold God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility in “biblical tension” and balance.

Man’s responsibility -Philippians 2:12
God’s sovereignty -Philippians 2:13

How do we “work out” what God has “worked in”?

The command: Be a GRATEFUL servant! -Philippians 2:14
The purpose: Be a GODLY servant! -Philippians 2:15a
The result: Be a BOLD servant! -Philippians 2:15b-16a
The motive: Be a JOYFUL servant! -Philippians 16b-18
