Recovering Redemption: A Gospel-Saturated Perspective on How to Change
by Matt Chandler, Lead Pastor at the Village Church

God Has More. We’re Settling For Less.
The Bible is clear from the beginning that God intends for His people to experience life abundantly. So why are things such a mess, even for Christians? In this 12-week study, Matt Chandler gets to the root of brokenness and our destructive patterns of behavior. With relentless grace, Matt unpacks true repentance and the doctrines of justification, adoption, and sanctification with remarkably practical application. It’s time to start living like we believe in the ongoing power of redemption.

The Gospel Changes Everything.
Recovering Redemption, written with a pastor’s bold intensity and a counselor’s discerning insight, takes us deeply into Scripture to take us deeply inside ourselves, discovering that the heart of all our problems is truly the problem of our heart. But because of what God has done, and because of what God can do, the most confident, contented people we know could actually be us—redeemed through Jesus Christ.

You can’t. God can.
Life never lacks for improvement in ourselves, in our relationships, in just about everything. But all our brave stabs at getting better, if they ever change anything, are incomplete at best, complete failures at worst. Sometimes much worse.

Unless...
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the great “unless” of life—both for those who already believe (but can’t believe the messes they’re still capable of making), as well as those who don’t yet believe but just know their way isn’t working.
