NEW Why Is God So Mad at Me? | Pat Schatzline

NEW Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart | J.D. Greear

Glen Berteau

Uncover the influences that cause us to believe that God is angry; restoring the true image of God’s extravagant love, generosity, and grace.

Pastor and author J. D. Greear unpacks the doctrine of the assurance of salvation and answers difficult questions such as ‘What exactly is faith?’ and ‘What is repentance?’.

Berteau says it is time that we allow God to totally transform our lives instead of being satisfied with powerless, ineffective Christianity.
