God's Working in Our Working

Ephesians 2:10

Posted by Dan Jarms on September 6, 2026
God's Working in Our Working

Big idea: Keep good works in their proper place by relying on His grace.

  1. We can't boast, but we can marvel.
  2. We can't boast, but we can clarify: 
    • what we are
    • what we are for
  3. We can't boast, but we can anticipate.
  4. We can't boast, but we can abide.

  • When I am obsessed with doing more...
  • When I am guilty for not doing enough...
  • When I am bitter because others aren't helping me...
