Do you think of yourself as a good person? Do you lack clear convictions? Have you still not found what you’re looking for? Pastor Colin talks about the person who’s drifting, and what God says to them.
Sometimes a self-assessment can help you discover what you need to do next. We’re going to look at 7 questions—ranging from questions about your faith to… questions about your confidence—to help you evaluate your spiritual progress.
If you’re a Christian, sin is still powerful, still dangerous, but it’s no longer your master. That means you can put up a fight against sin in your life. Pastor Colin talks about how you can do that.

If you’re a Christian, sin is still powerful, still dangerous, but it’s no longer your master. That means you can put up a fight against sin in your life. Pastor Colin talks about how you can do that.
The Bible tells us that we are saved (past tense), that we are being saved (present tense), and that we will one day be saved (future tense). Pastor Colin talks about how all these things can be true of you.
Nothing could be more dangerous to your spiritual life than the attitude that says, “I could never fall.” The Bible repeatedly warns us against this attitude. Pastor Colin talks about why that is.
If Jesus Christ is able to keep you from falling, why do you need to watch yourself? Pastor Colin talks about 3 reasons: 1. others have fallen, 2. your flesh is weak, and 3. because you have an enemy.
Where would you be, if God had not reached out to you? This is not the Bible's most flattering description of us, but it says we’re like a “burning stick.” Pastor Colin talks about what that means.
The Bible tells the Christian to “keep yourself in God’s love.” Does that mean it’s possible to fall outside of God’s love? That depends on what you mean by love. Pastor Colin talks about 5 aspects of God’s love.
