Bible Study: Making God Your Strength in Weakness

Read Genesis 14:1–24 As followers of Christ, we strive to live in a way that visibly attests to the work of God in our lives.

How to shine

Philippians 2:12-18 “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. For it is God which works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and disputing: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither labored in vain....
