Anchored to the Word: Ephesians 2:8-10
You don’t have to earn what God already gave you.
So many of us live like salvation is something we need to work for — like if we do enough, serve enough, or get it all right, then we’ll be accepted by God. But this week’s message from Ephesians 2:8–10 flips that upside down.
The truth? You are saved by grace, through faith — not by works. It’s a gift. Not a paycheck. Not a reward. Just grace.
In this message, we explore how easy it is to stumble over that truth — just like the Israelites did. Instead of trusting in God’s grace, they tried to earn their way into His love. But that kind of striving leads to burnout, not breakthrough. Jesus isn’t a barrier in your way — He’s the rock you can stand on. And when you stand in His grace, everything changes.
You’ll learn:
• Why “being good enough” is a myth that keeps us stuck
• How God’s grace frees us from striving and shame
• What it means to be God’s handiwork — created with intention and purpose
• Why the gospel isn’t just about what you’re saved from — but what you’re saved for
You were made on purpose, for a purpose. God’s not asking you to prove yourself — He’s inviting you to trust Him, walk with Him, and live out the good works He’s already planned for you.
This is a message for the tired, the burned out, the perfectionists, and the overachievers — anyone who needs to remember that grace is the starting line, not the finish.
