How Not to Die | J.D. Greear | October 16, 2022
Summary
This sermon addresses those who have grown up in church but have never personally trusted Christ, sharing the story of a pastor's wife who realized her faith was never truly her own. The text references 1 Samuel 28 and the concept of the "18 inches" between head and heart faith, emphasizing the importance of a genuine, personal surrender to Christ. The practical takeaway is to move beyond intellectual assent and embrace faith wholeheartedly, as a true relationship with Christ is essential for salvation.
