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

1. What can we expect from God?
2. 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
