Episode Synopsis

Are you ready for every good deed, or are you the Christian equivalent of an unprepared firefighter? In this convicting message from Titus 3:1-2, Pastor Bart Horton challenges us to move beyond comfortable church attendance to active readiness for God's work in the world. Using a powerful firefighter analogy, Pastor Bart exposes how we often respond to God's call for good works with excuses that would get any first responder fired. After 41 years of being a Christian and thousands of hours of Bible study, are we still saying we're "not quite ready" to serve? This episode explores what it truly means to recognize God's action as our calling. You'll discover:• Why God saved you FOR good works, not just FROM sin• How prayer, Scripture, and the Spirit equip us for readiness• The difference between being able to do good deeds and being ready for them• Why our good works extend far beyond the church walls. Paul isn't asking us to be comfortable Christians who submit to government and call it good. He's calling us to be loaded springs - compressed, ready, and poised to explode into action when God's opportunities arise. If you've ever wondered what your real purpose is as a believer, this message will remind you that you're called to be God's tool in this world, equipped and ready for the good works He prepared beforehand for you to walk in. Growing In Grace is presented by Grace Bible Church of Hutchinson, KS, featuring the verse-by-verse Bible teaching of Pastor Bart Horton.
