Trust And Obey (7 of 15)
Series: Studies In Philippians
Dr. Stan Coffey
I want us to turn to the book of Philippians. We are going to look today at Philippians 2:12-16. Speaking today on this subject, "Trust and Obey." Trust and obey for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey. How many times have you sung that song? I think if the hymn writer had a verse to base it on it could be this passage that we are going to read.
Philippians 2:12-16 "Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

And tell them to go to safety. So the actor came on stage and the people applauded. And he said, ladies and gentlemen, please, please, I have a very important announcement to make. He said, I don't want any of you to panic but there is a small fire that has started in the wing of this building and it is imperative that we all leave in a very orderly and a very quite manner. So, I want you to leave at this time. And ...
