Reflection & Discussion

Warm-up. Who has shone like a bright star (Phil 2:15) to inspire you in your Christian life?

Read Philippians 2:12-18 God bless your study! 

1. There is a significant difference between “working for your salvation” and “working out your salvation.” Why is this an important distinction to make?

2. How can a group of Christians help to work out each other’s salvation?

3. How does living with an awareness of the holy presence of God compel you to live a life of holiness?

4. Underneath our work is God’s power and work. How does this bring comfort to your life as a Christian?

5. How does grumbling and complaining harm your witness?

6. We are all tempted to complain and grumble. How can you maintain a joyful attitude in the face of the problems of life?

7. What do Paul’s images of running, labouring, and sacrificing teach you about the nature of your life and service to others?

8. How does the reality of “the day of Christ” (v. 16) affect how you live your life and make disciples?

9. What do you find encouraging about Paul’s sacrificial mind- set in the midst of a difficult situation? How can you cultivate this type of mind-set for the advancement of the gospel?

10. What can you do practically to shine as a light and hold out the word of life during the coming week?
