This morning Pastor Matt dives into conversion and regeneration. Can we change ourselves? The ability to really change comes through God’s Holy Spirit. We cannot change ourselves with that fundamental real change, that produces new fruit and good works (spiritual works). Grace appeared in Christ, and calls us to change and trains us for it. Conversion brings the change, and God’s salvation and new life through belief and repentance. The results of this salvation is new life, new power, new standing, new family and new purpose.

A healthy church is word driven, doctrinally sound, and gospel-centered, leading to outwardly focused and regenerate members who gather for common mission, accountability, prayer, and growth, following the teaching and example of elders.
