Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'good work' God began in me?

The 'good work' encompasses your salvation, sanctification (becoming more like Christ), spiritual gifts, calling, and ultimate glorification. It includes everything God is doing to transform you from the inside out — character development, ministry preparation, relational growth, and conformity to the image of Christ.

What if I feel like I'm going backward spiritually?

Spiritual growth is rarely linear. Seasons of struggle, doubt, or failure are part of the process — not evidence that God has abandoned it. Peter denied Christ three times, yet God completed an extraordinary work in him. Your setbacks do not surprise God, and they do not derail His plan.
