Sermon: “God’s Creative Destruction: Breaking to Build Better” Note: “Creative destruction” is the economic process where innovation continuously replaces old technologies, industries, or companies, driving growth through renewal.

Justification (Past): We have been saved from the penalty of sin. (Romans 5:1) 2. Sanctification (Present): We are being saved from the power of sin. (1 Cor 1:18) 3. Glorification (Future): We will be saved from the presence of sin. (Romans 8:30) We are living in stage #2. Stage #3 is about future, that’s why the struggl...
