After salvation, it’s normal to wonder what comes next. We want to grow, and we’re often taught that growth comes from seeking more: more righteousness, more forgiveness, more sanctification. We’re told as we do our part, we become more pleasing to God. But what if growing in your faith isn’t about doing or seeking more? What if the pressure’s off, and you already have everything you need for life and godliness? In this message, I share what spiritual growth looks like in the life of a believer who understands their new identity in Christ. It’s not about what you’re doing but who you are. You’ll find peace and joy as you discover growth is simply learning and trusting in the finished work of Christ!

For thousands of years, people have sought God’s favor through sacrifice, rituals, and religious traditions. But in Hebrews 13, we’re encouraged to let go of the past to focus on a new, radical way of living: by God’s grace. In this message, you’ll receive your invitation to break free from popular religion and to take hold of something beautiful and life-giving. When you go “outside the camp” and embrace God’s abundant grace, you find strength, sustenance, and a brand new perspective on difficult circumstances!
