August 10, 2025Does God expect more from us after we receive salvation?
What We Believe, 8 of 11 from August 10th, 2025
"When we follow Jesus He transforms us completely for a fruitful life."
Christian Life by Michael Lockstampfor (@miklocks)
SUMMARY
This sermon explores how believers, having received salvation as a free gift, are transformed by Christ for a fruitful life.

💬 Have we asked Jesus to change places with us?
💬 How are we tempted to retroactively earn the free gift of salvation?
💬 What works of the flesh are we still practicing?

August 03, 2025When does God just give up on us?
What We Believe, 7 of 11 from July 20th, 2025
"We depend on God to save us every step of the way."
Salvation by Michael Lockstampfor (@miklocks)

The message underscores God's persistent love and the inclusive nature of the gospel, while also acknowledging its exclusive claim that salvation comes through Christ alone.
REFLECTION & DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
💬 Have we trusted Jesus to declare us righteous before the Father?
💬 What dead way of living does Jesus want to save us from?
💬 How does anchoring our hope in eternity change how we approach this week?
