Thinking Through Salvation


Welcome & Why This Matters

  • Welcome to Thinking Through Salvation. This series isn’t just about knowing salvation - it’s about living it.
  • What to expect: 9 weeks of video sessions, discussion, and real-life application.
  • Stay sharp: Engage, keep the energy up, and be present in the moment.
  • Session 1 sets the stage: Where we’re at, What we believe, and Why it matters.

Icebreaker Conversations

If a friend asked you, “What does salvation even mean?”, how would you explain it in one sentence - without using churchy words?  
Take a moment, think about it, and share! This keeps the topic relatable, real, and fun. 

Teaching & Discussion Flow

  1. Video Session – Let’s dive into today’s teaching. Pay attention to what stands out to you.
  2. Go Through the Core Ideas and Discussion Questions
  3. Wrap-Up
    • This is not just another lesson or curriculum
    • The goal isn’t just to take in information but to step into a real, everyday faith.
    • Think of it like learning to ride a bike: You can read about it or watch videos, but real change happens when you start pedaling.
    • Knowing we’re saved shifts our mindset from just surviving to living with real hope and confidence
    • Salvation is an ongoing, working mechanism in our lives.
  4. Looking Ahead
    • Give a quick teaser: Next couple of weeks, we’ll explore big questions like What happens after we die, why we need salvation, and where our story fits in God’s plan.
    • Option to include a personal reflection: When did you first start thinking about salvation, and what did it mean to you then?
    • Remind them to come ready: Bring your thoughts, questions, and be open to what God might be showing you.
