Does God Help Those Who Help Themselves?
In week one of Almost True, we examine the popular phrase “God helps those who help themselves” and compare it to what Scripture actually teaches. Rooted in passages like Romans 5, Ephesians 2, and Titus 3, this message reminds us that salvation and God’s grace are not earned through our efforts but received through faith in Jesus Christ. As we learn to trust God’s truth and sovereignty, we discover the freedom, peace, and hope that come from depending on Him rather than ourselves.
Open Life Church gathers each Sunday at 10:00 AM at the Bonney Lake High School Performing Arts Center. These online messages are available for those unable to join us in person and are typically filmed earlier in the week at The Gathering Place, then released each Sunday morning.
