What Happened in You was Always Meant to Happen Through You

You didn't earn it. You didn't deserve it. But God looked at you in your brokenness and said yes anyway — not because of anything you did, but because of his own mercy. Pastor Andrew Brown walks through one of the most stunning passages in the New Testament and gets personal about what it means to receive grace you never could have earned.

In Titus 3:1–8, Paul lays out three movements: who we were before Jesus, what God has done, and how that changes everything about how we live now. The mercy that saved you wasn't meant to stop with you — what happened in us was always meant to happen through us.

Here's a couple key takeaways:

• God's mercy is the complete initiator of our salvation — we don't put ourselves in; we receive the bid he gives.

• Salvation brings regeneration (a new birth) and ongoing renewal — the Holy Spirit is actively remaking you, not just patching you up.

• Good works aren't how you earn grace — they're how grace moves through you into the world around you.
