You might be getting salvation backwards.

We usually tell the story like this:

“I heard the gospel.”
“I believed.”
“Then God made me new.”

But John frames it quite differently. He says:

“Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God.” (1 John 5:1)

Not “will be born.”
*Has been* born.

In other words, faith doesn’t make you spiritually alive.
Faith is the evidence that God already has.

God is the first mover in salvation.

He gives new birth.
New birth produces faith.
Faith produces love for God.
Love for God produces love for His people.
And that faith overcomes the world.

So real change doesn’t start with willpower.

It starts with God's power. He's the one who opens blind eyes, gives life to dead hearts, and makes Jesus look more satisfying than the world.

That should change how we worship, pray, and do ministry.

Because God isn’t waiting for people who can overcome the world.

He’s making them.

When God told Jeremiah to speak, he told him not to hold back a word.

So Jeremiah obeyed.

He said the hard thing.
He gave the warning.
He spoke what God commanded.
.. And the people wanted him dead.

But Jeremiah’s boldest witness may not have been the message alone.

It may have been what happened after the message cost him.

What does the world see when Christians obey God and don’t run from the cost?

Church looks a little different this weekend! To avoid Sunday’s marathon road closures, we’re gathering Saturday at 4PM for worship. Let's pack it in and worship God together!

📝 A few notes:

There will be no Veritas Kids, but classrooms will be open with service on the TVs if you need space with your kiddos.

Sunday morning will be a livestream replay only of Saturday’s service.

See you Saturday at 4!
