New Life Washington

In this episode, we dig deeper into a powerful sermon on salvation by faith—what it truly means to be saved, and how that shapes the way we live each day. It's not just about believing in Jesus; it's about letting Him drive our lives. We explore the danger of slipping back into old patterns and the importance of abiding in Christ. God didn't leave us to figure it out on our own—He gave us the Spirit to guide, strengthen, and transform us. Join us as we talk about walking by faith, living by the Spirit, and surrendering control so that Jesus is truly at the wheel.

In this episode, Jake Herring delivers a powerful message on the vital role of the Holy Spirit in our understanding of salvation.
