Holiness Is Not Optional - Luke 6:43-45


Listen Later

Some people walk into a room and you can’t shake the feeling they’ve been with Jesus. That kind of life can look rare, like “super Christian” territory, but in this sermon Pastor Trent argues it should be the normal shape of Christianity. 

Real grace doesn’t just cancel guilt; it changes desires, habits, and direction. 

So why do so many churches treat holiness like a taboo topic, as if obedience is a threat to the gospel?

This sermon digs into the Bible’s framework for transformation, starting with the New Covenant promises in Jeremiah 31 and Ezekiel 36: God gives a new heart, cleanses sin, and puts his Spirit within his people to cause real obedience. Then we connect the dots in the New Testament where grace and good works sit side by side: saved by grace through faith, created for good works (Ephesians 2:8–10), and saved by mercy so believers devote themselves to what’s excellent and profitable (Titus 3:4–8).
