Yesterday’s message in the Philippians: Partners in the Gospel series was called God’s Not Finished Yet, taken from Philippians 1:1-6. Here is a brief outline of the message:
I. We are all partners in the gospel together (Phil. 1:1-2)
A. The gospel brings people from different backgrounds together (Acts 16)
B. We are all saints in Christ Jesus
C. Leaders and lay people are partners together
II. God began a good work in you when you received Christ (Phil 1:3-5)
A. Paul thanks God for the Philippians every time he remembers them (3)
B. In all his prayers for all of them, he always prays with joy (4)
C. Why? Partners in the gospel from the first day until now (5)
III. God will finish the good work he started in you (Phil. 1:6)
A. God has good works for you to do (Eph 2:10; Psalm 138:8)
B. How does God complete his work in you?
– justification in the past (Romans 5:1)
– sanctification in the present (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24)
– glorification when Christ returns (Romans 8:28-30)
C. God is also completing the good work he began in the church
