Saving Faith Loves Conviction — Jeremy Utley — June 22, 2025
Jeremy Utley · Jun 25, 2025 · 33m
Saving faith is defined as loving conviction—a willingness to embrace correction and rebuke from God. The speaker uses the example of King Zedekiah, who sought prayer without obeying God's word, to illustrate that true submission is proven not by who we ask for help, but by whose hard words we gladly accept. Ultimately, true refuge in the Lord means rejecting all other sources of security and finding our all-in-all only in Christ.

The speaker emphasizes that what truly pleases God is repentance, which is more than just a foundational truth—it's a daily necessity. He warns against becoming mere collectors of truth who enjoy hearing sermons without applying the word, stressing that God expects believers to live according to what they hear. Ultimately, one honors God not by dwelling in shame, but by running back to Him with hope, remembering that God takes no pleasure in our death but desires our return to Him.

Words of Encouragement - Jeremy Utley - June 19, 2016
Jeremy Utley · Jun 24, 2016 · 19m
The speaker emphasizes that knowing God should compel us to change, warning against the danger of maintaining old habits or attitudes after God has revealed Himself. Using Abraham's repeated lies and Elijah's flight from Jezebel as examples, the message stresses that a refusal to change in light of new revelation is dangerous, and we must always be willing to be purged of impurity.
