Oh But God | How a Great God Saves Great Sinners

Pastor Brody at Gateway Church preaches from Ephesians 2:1-10, focusing on the transformative power of God’s grace. He highlights the reality of being spiritually dead apart from Christ-enslaved to sin, influenced by the world, and under God’s righteous judgment.
The sermon centers on the pivotal phrase “But God,” emphasizing that salvation is entirely God’s work. Through His mercy, love, and grace, God brings the spiritually dead to life, raises them up, and seats them with Christ. This salvation is a free gift, not earned by works, so no one can boast.
Pastor Brody concludes with an application for believers: as God’s workmanship, we are saved not by good works, but for them, called to live purposefully for His glory. The message challenges listeners to embrace God’s grace, stop striving for self-salvation, and trust fully in Christ’s finished work.
