What is saving faith?

September 17, 2023 • Jason McNutt • Hebrews 11:1–3, 1 Thessalonians 1:3–8

There are instances when the English translation in Scripture does not capture the concept that was originally communicated in Greek. The description of faith (pistis) is one of those such instance. Faith is not a blind, optimistic feeling that we act on. Instead, saving faith (pistis in the Greek) is an affirmation of acting in obedience to Jesus because we know He is King.

What is a better Gospel presentation?

October 29, 2023 • Jason McNutt • Matthew 28:18–20

Sharing the Gospel is grounded in historical truths presented in Scripture. The invitation is to acknowledge Jesus as King and live in obedient faithfulness as His disciple. That makes Jesus central to the Gospel message, not the benefits we derive as Kingdom citizens.

What does it mean to be made in the image of God?

October 22, 2023 • Jason McNutt • Genesis 1:26–28, Colossians 1:15–20

What is the goal of final salvation?

October 15, 2023 • Jason McNutt • Revelation 21

In the end, God will create a new cosmos (heaven and earth). Scripture teaches that the final destination for redeemed humanity is this new earth where God resides with us. Loyalty to Jesus is the qualification for citizenship in this kingdom.
