Stewardship Month is more than a theme — it’s a month of revival.
In this message, Pastor Ollin Collins reminds us that following Jesus is not a spectator sport. It’s participatory. It’s personal. And it’s transformational.
Anchored in Ephesians 2:1–10, we walk through one of the clearest passages in Scripture on salvation and purpose—how God takes us from spiritual death to spiritual life, from the graveyard of sin to the throne room of grace.
Today’s Big Idea:
“Get out of the graveyard and get into the throne room.”
Because in Christ, you’re not just forgiven… you’re made alive, raised up, and seated with Him in the heavenly realms.
In this sermon you’ll discover:
Why stewardship includes being a good steward of your worship
The four “works” in Ephesians 2:
- Sin works against us (Eph. 2:1–3)
- God works for us (Eph. 2:4–9)
- God works in us (Eph. 2:10a)
- God works through us (Eph. 2:10b)
What grace really means: saved by grace through faith—NOT by works
Why you were saved: not just from something… but FOR something
The challenge: Take off the grave clothes and put on the grace clothes
Powerful takeaways you’ll hear:
- “We are not saved by good works… we are saved to do good works.”
- “We are not saved by faith plus works… we are saved by faith that works.”
- “We’re not saved to sit… we’re saved to serve.”
Pastor also shares how God shapes us through three tools:
• The Word of God • Prayer • Suffering
…and how those experiences equip believers to live out God’s purpose.
Reflection Question:
Which one describes your life right now?
Is sin working against you? Has God worked for you? Is He working in you? And where does He want to work through you?
