We’ve all seen or heard of people who say they follow Jesus. Yet, when you look closely, everything about their lives seems to be a reflection of their own gain, not God’s. Pastor J.D. continues our study in the book of Acts to help us rediscover what it means to be focused on Jesus’s plan, rather than our own.

Receive Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart by Pastor J.D. Greear as our gift for your donation.

Phrases like “ask Jesus into your heart” or “give your life to Jesus” may be well intentioned, but they can often be unclear—offering false assurance to those who aren’t truly saved and causing unnecessary doubt for those who are.

Pastor J.D. explains that salvation is not a magic phrase or emotional moment. It’s a posture of trust in the promise of God, one that begins at a specific point in time and continues for the rest of our lives. If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt or want to share the gospel more clearly, this book, available in print or digital form, is for you.
