Fixing Backwards Thinking

About this episode

Pastor Chris discusses how 'backwards thinking' can distort our understanding of God and sin, urging a return to truth rooted in Scripture.

In Romans 3:1–20, Paul confronts some of the most common (and dangerous) ways we think about God, sin, and ourselves. What happens when our logic is off? What if the way we’re thinking is actually leading us away from truth? Pastor Chris walks through how “backwards thinking” distorts our understanding of God’s faithfulness, minimizes the seriousness of sin, and causes us to rely on ourselves instead of grace. Through real-life stories, Scripture, and practical application, this message challenges us to replace faulty thinking with truth rooted in God’s Word.
