God Helps Those Who Help Themselves?

Apr 20, 2025    Pastor Clayton Bell

“God helps those who help themselves.”

It sounds biblical. Motivational. Even spiritual. But it’s not in the Bible.


This Easter, we begin our new sermon series “What Did They Say?“—exploring things people think the Bible teaches... but doesn’t.


In today’s message, Pastor Clayton unpacks the powerful truth of Ephesians 2:8–10 and shows us the real good news:


God doesn’t wait for us to get it together. He doesn’t meet us halfway. Through Jesus, He comes all the way—into our mess, into our brokenness—and saves us by grace, through faith.


Whether you’re burned out from trying to earn God’s love or just wondering what Easter really means for you, this message will bring clarity, freedom, and hope.


✝️ Jesus died for you.

🌅 Jesus rose again.

💝 And through faith alone, you are freely, fully, and forever justified.

📖 Scripture: Ephesians 2:8–10 | Romans 4:24–25 | Acts 2:38
