About this episode

Rev. Dr. Wade Allen explores the balance between human effort and divine assistance in the Christian journey.

Paul's call to work out our salvation with fear and trembling raises a question at the heart of the Christian life: how much is our effort and how much is God's? This sermon holds that tension and invites the congregation to faithful, joyful cooperation with God.
