Shining as Lights in the World

Pastor Kim continues his study in Philippians 2:12-18, building on Christ's profound humility from the previous passage. He explains Paul's call for believers to "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling," emphasizing that this is not about earning salvation but actively living out the salvation God has already given through His ongoing work in us. The sermon highlights yielding to God's power to produce obedience, joyful submission without grumbling or disputing, shining as lights in a crooked world by holding forth the word of life, and pursuing eternal rewards through faithful, Christ-like living. Pastor Kim stresses transformed self-interest aligned with pleasing God, shared joy in the gospel community, and Paul's example of total surrender as a drink offering.
