Forget the Baloney

Trusting Grace Instead of Bringing Your Own Efforts to God

05/29/2025 Stephen Davey

Do your efforts, good deeds, or religious traditions make you acceptable to God? In this episode, Stephen Davey examines Paul’s powerful testimony in Philippians 3, where Paul counts all his accomplishments as rubbish compared to the surpassing value of knowing Christ.

Paul had a remarkable religious pedigree, unmatched zeal, and a spotless record of obedience to the law. Yet, he realized none of it could secure salvation. Instead, Paul found that true righteousness comes through faith in Christ alone. Stephen unpacks Paul’s transformation from a works-based mindset to fully trusting in the grace of God.

This episode highlights the emptiness of legalism and the liberating truth of grace. You’ll discover why your efforts, no matter how well-intentioned, are like a stale sandwich compared to God’s lavish feast of salvation.

If you’ve ever felt pressure to earn God’s approval or wondered if you’re doing enough, this message will bring clarity and encouragement. Listen to learn why salvation is a gift, not a reward, and how you can experience the freedom and joy of relying on Christ alone.

Join this life-changing discussion and leave inspired to trust in the all-sufficient grace of God.
