Pastor Aaron Buer begins our Saved series by exploring the full scope of salvation in Ephesians 2, showing that being saved is bigger than a single moment in the past. We discover that we were spiritually dead in sin, deserving God's righteous judgment, before he made us alive in Christ through his great love and mercy. We learn that salvation comes by grace alone through faith alone—not by works, so no one can boast—and that we are God's masterpiece, created for good works he prepared in advance. We are challenged to understand what we've been saved from, appreciate the gift we could never earn, and look for the good works God has designed us to do.

Guest Pastor Dave Stone explores the promise of heaven and eternal life with Christ, drawing from John 14 and Revelation 21. We discover that Jesus's promise to prepare a place for us isn't a vague hope but a solid foundation to hold onto amid life's uncertainties. We learn that our earthly bodies are temporary tents while an eternal home awaits, and one day we will know God fully, face to face, rather than through the dim reflection we experience now. And we are challenged to live with heaven in mind, recognizing that our true citizenship is in heaven and that Jesus himself—not a place or activity—is what makes heaven truly heaven.
