Titus: Formed by the Gospel – He Saved Us

Listen Later

Welcome to another episode of the Descend Podcast! If you’re new here, each week we take Sunday’s sermon and descend into what it looks like to live it out in our everyday lives as we share the love of Christ with those around us. Our prayer is that this podcast would encourage you and remind you of God’s goodness throughout your week.

In this week’s episode, Haley is joined by Jacob Chacko (Pastor) and Andrew Overmiller (College Director) as we dive into our series on Titus: Formed by the Gospel. If you have missed any previous sermons, you can catch up on the series HERE. Jacob preached this week a sermon titled “He Saved Us” from Titus 3:4-7.

  1. Jacob, you shared yesterday your “moment” of salvation when you were in 5th grade. Andrew, I’d love to hear briefly if you had a clear “moment” of salvation or what that looked like for you?
  2. How do we as a church be really welcoming to people as they are, without giving the impression that nothing needs to change?
  3. How would you encourage someone who is struggling with certainty about their salvation? What should they look for in their life that points to genuine faith?
  4. Some denominations talk about receiving the Holy Spirit as a second experience after salvation. Can you unpack what the Bible actually teaches about when believers receive the Spirit, and why that matters for new believers?
  5. So after talking through all of this today, what’s one simple, practical way you’d encourage someone to respond to the gospel this week—whether they’re just starting to explore faith, or trying to follow Jesus more fully in their everyday life?
