When you first get saved, the Holy Spirit convicts you of wrongdoings. He prompts you to return what isn't yours and to overcome sin. It's God's work within us, speaking to our hearts.

We can't achieve our own salvation or spiritual growth through our own strength or intellect. The good news is God's power works within us. He is the ultimate source of our spiritual energy and grace.

A preacher once defined the fear of God as 'love on its knees.' It's not about dread, but profound reverence and a desire not to displease Him. Like a wife preparing a meal, her 'fear' isn't of punishment, but of disappointing the one she loves.

Even the Apostle Paul wrestled with the conflict between his flesh and his spirit. He expressed this in Romans 7, admitting, 'the good that I would I do not; but the evil which I would not, that I do.' This age-old battle highlights how our old nature can challenge our desire to do good.

This isn't about being afraid of losing your eternal salvation or God zapping you for mistakes. It means loving God so much for His gift of salvation that you're motivated to avoid displeasing Him. Your salvation is secure.

Spiritual power and divine enabling come from within. Salvation and sanctification are works God does inside of you. True change isn't about reforming your actions, but about God transforming you from the inside out.

A pilot's announcement: 'We're lost, but making good time.' This raises a profound question for us: Do you truly know your purpose? If you are saved, God's purpose is clear – to become more like His Son. He grants the desire and the power to do His will, though the struggle between flesh and spirit continues.

Exodus 15-18

06/07/2026

In this sermon, Pastor Rudie examines Philippians 2:12-13, emphasizing that while salvation is a free gift from God, Christians are responsible for "working out" that salvation through a life of daily obedience, spiritual discipline, and a desire to please Him (0:00-33:31). He explains that this process is made possible only through the internal, transforming power of God, who provides both the willingness and the strength for believers to become more like Christ (20:25-32:28).
