Are You On The Team? | Pastor Grant Ethridge | Liberty Live Church

work out your own salvation. It doesn't mean work for your salvation or work on your salvation or work up your salvation. It says work out. Here it is. God works in us. We're gonna read it right here. It is God who works in you. So God put salvation in you, but you gotta let it work out of you. [00:13:41] (23 seconds)  #LetSalvationWorkOut

Folks, listen to me. You can't work out what hadn't been worked in. Alright? And that's why if you don't know the Lord today, you need to surrender your life to him. And then he will put in you, he will enable you, to do what you can't do. In chapter one, we saw that verse, chapter one verse six. It's my life verse. It it says, we can be confident this very thing that he who began a good work in us will continue to perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. Who started the good work? God did.

And I'm just saying to you today, hell is not going to be full of unbelievers. Hell will be filled with those who believed too late. Do you understand everybody in hell today believes? Everybody. But it was too late. It's not too late for you. God's given you opportunity today. Join his team. Give your life to Christ. Don't finish one yard short. [00:41:52] (31 seconds)  #BelieveDontDelay

And I'm telling you the race will one day be over and the work will one day be done. And you know what's gonna happen with all of us? We're gonna end up our bones in a box buried somewhere. You say, not me. I'm gonna be cremated. Well, then your bones are gonna just go up in ashes. That's why it all ends. And I'm telling you on that moment, that time, all that's gonna matter is are you on God's team? [00:40:43] (26 seconds)  #AreYouOnGodsTeam

It's stronger. It's greater. I would say to you that our bond, our unity in Christ is stronger than ethnic, cultural, or political differences. You're welcome. It is. What brings us together in Jesus is stronger than any other affinity we have here in this world. You've heard it said blood is thicker than water. Not if it's baptismal waters. Baptismal waters, listen, we we're all part of the church. We're part of the family of God. Now we're closer to brothers and sisters in the Lord than we are even our own blood kin sometimes. And and, yes, blood's thicker than water if you're talking about the blood of Jesus. [00:24:18] (43 seconds)  #UnityInChrist

And I want you to see it that way. Whatever you complain about in your life, whatever you're grumbling about that you don't like, you really are grumbling against God because he's the one who's in control. I said he's the one who's in control. And so today, when we come to the altar, we all need to just ask God to forgive us for grumbling and griping and complaining and arguing. We we ought to be thankful. [00:27:49] (23 seconds)  #StopGrumblingStartGrateful

You're never gonna be perfect. But the holy spirit, through the word of God, will tell you what needs to be changed in your life. There'll be a check-in your spirit. Oh, you shouldn't have said that. Oh, you shouldn't have done that. Don't don't listen to that. Don't look at that. And so you're never gonna be perfect. You're never gonna be sinless, but you ought to sin less. Amen? We'll be making progress. [00:29:47] (27 seconds)  #ProgressNotPerfection

And and you say, but I can't help it. I was born this way. My dad had a temper. My grandfather had a temper, and I can't help it. And and this this is what happens. The father says be holy. The holy spirit says apply it to your anger. And Jesus comes on and say, I heard you just say that you can't stop it. You can't help it. That your dad was that way. Your parents are that way. Your grandfather's that way. Jesus said, I heard you say you can't do it. And you're right. You can't, but I can because I died on the cross for that sin, for your anger, and I rose from the dead to give you power to overcome it. He says, then you'll shine among them like stars in the sky.
