November 23rd, 2025 | Standalone | 1 Peter 1:3-7What does it really mean to be sure of your salvation? In a world where certainty is rare and often feels impossible, Pastor Ben Lofton turns to 1 Peter 1:3–7 to help believers discover where true assurance is found—and how to recognize the evidence of a transformed life.In this stand-alone message, positioned between sermon series, Pastor Ben dives deep into one of the most foundational questions of the Christian faith: How can I know that I’m truly saved? Whether you struggle with doubt, wrestle with false assurance, or simply want to grow in confidence before God, this passage offers clarity, hope, and solid ground.Through Peter’s words to suffering, persecuted believers, we explore three essential truths:Salvation is an act of God’s grace, made possible through the finished work of Jesus—not something we earn or achieve on our own.Our salvation is held and guarded by God, secured by the Holy Spirit and sustained by God’s power, not our performance.Assurance
