8:30 am - The Bible Doesn't Say That - Pt. 2 - God Helps Those Who Help Themselves
Message Title: God Helps Those Who Help Themselves?
Series: The Bible Doesn’t Say That
Speaker: Pastor Kevin Diamond
Scripture: Romans 5:1–11 (NIV)
Description:
It’s one of the most quoted spiritual-sounding phrases in our culture: “God helps those who help themselves.” But… what if it’s not biblical at all?
In this message, Pastor Kevin Diamond explores the origins of this common saying and contrasts it with the life-giving truth of the gospel from Romans 5. You’ll discover that God doesn’t wait for you to clean yourself up—He meets you right in your mess, not because you’ve earned it, but because He is love.
Spoiler alert: The Bible doesn’t say that God helps the self-sufficient—it says He rescues the helpless.
📖 Romans 5:6 — “You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.”
