Sunday on Monday - August 17th, 2026
This Sunday we finished our Find Your People series in Philippians 2.
Paul tells the church to “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,” and then immediately reminds them, “for it is God who works in you.”
Our obedience matters, but we are never trying to manufacture spiritual growth on our own. God is already at work within us, shaping what we desire and empowering us to live in ways that please Him.
The question is whether what God is doing in us is increasingly showing up through us. This is why, "Let go and let God" isn't Biblical wisdom. We make choices. We have responsibility. We give effort. But none of this is independent of God's work within us.
Paul takes this call to obedience to street level when he says, “Do all things without grumbling or disputing.” That matters because we live in a “crooked and twisted generation” where we are called to “shine as lights in the world.”
Our relationships are part of our witness.
Christians will disappoint each other. We will disagree. Even mature believers sometimes get stuck in conflict. But when resentment, complaining, and division are allowed to remain, we begin to resemble the very world we are supposed to shine in.
The answer is not simply, “Try harder to get along.” The answer is The Answer. Look to Jesus!
Look at His humility. Look at His obedience. Look at His willingness to give Himself for others. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly. The gospel we confess with our mouths should increasingly shape the way we treat one another.
This week, ask yourself: "Is my response to those around me reflecting Jesus more clearly?" If you find it hard to stay intentional about your spiritual growth or if you're comfortable with sin, reach out to your Kgroup leader. We are here for you!
