Law #21: The Law of Sovereignty. Philippians 1.6

Philippians 1:6 (NIV) Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

What is the good work referred to in this verse?
When did it begin for you? When did God begin working in your life?
Is God going to finish His work whether we want Him to or not?
Can we prevent God from completing His work?
What role do we have in seeing the work come to completion?
In discipleship… What is the God part, and what is the our part?
How is life different for the one who fully cooperates with God?
How is life better when we fully cooperate with God?
If you God would magically and instantly change one aspect or your character, what would you want Him to change?
What does a completed Christian look like?
Are you ever really complete? Do you ever graduate from the school of discipleship?
How can we pray for each other this week?
