Description

Partners in God’s Good Work: A Story Worth Sharing

Scripture: Philippians 1:3–6

This week at Central, we explored Paul’s letter to the Philippians and the remarkable joy he expressed even while in prison. Paul reminds us that we are not alone in our faith journey — we are partners together in God’s ongoing work. From the support and encouragement of the Philippians to our own church community, spiritual partnership strengthens, transforms, and sustains us.

Pastor Sarah encouraged us to recognize the ways God is already at work in our lives and to consider how we can actively participate in this good work. Whether through prayer, acts of service, generosity, or simply journeying alongside others in faith, every contribution matters. God begins the work in us and promises to bring it to completion, and our partnerships help it flourish.

🌀 Reflection Questions:

Where do you see God still at work in your own life, carrying a “good work” toward completion?

Paul gives thanks for the Philippians’ partnership in the gospel. Who has been a “partner in God’s good work” in your life, and how did their support shape your faith?

What is one specific way our congregation could strengthen its partnership in God’s work with the wider community this year?

✨ Listen now and reflect on the joy and confidence that comes from being part of something bigger than ourselves — God’s good work continues, and we are all invited to join in.
