You asked for it week 1

In this opening week of “You Asked for It,” the sermon tackles the question of whether a genuine believer can lose or forfeit salvation, especially in light of biblical warnings about falling away. The message emphasizes that salvation is by grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus, not by our performance, but it also calls believers to continue abiding in Christ and persevering in faith. While no outside force can snatch us from God’s hand, the sermon warns against deliberately walking away from Jesus and treating salvation as merely a past moment instead of an ongoing trust. It also encourages believers who stumble to run toward Jesus, not away from Him, because His grace is greater than our failure. Finally, the message calls Christians to lovingly approach wandering friends or family with grace, truth, gentleness, and accountability.
