Rescued, Part 16: The Unfolding Plan of God and Ethnic Israel
Since we know God is faithful to His promises, we can resist the proclivity toward pride, persevere as part of God’s remnant, and maintain hope and prayer for the spiritually hardened.
Watch / ListenRescued, Part 15: The End of Self-Righteousness
The need to be saved from the penalty of sin is universal, and the law cannot save. The solution—the Savior—is singular and available to all who believe.
Watch / ListenRescued, Part 14: God’s Continuous Plan
If we misunderstand God’s sovereignty, it is because we do not have His character, His mercy, His power, or His imagination. An all-powerful and all-good God is not narrow-minded or shortsighted. His ways are unsearchable!
Watch / ListenRescued, Part 13: Carried Through to Glory
True believers in Christ go from spiritual death to spiritual life. They have eternal life and can never perish. And they are indwelled and sealed by the Holy Spirit.
Watch / ListenRescued, Part 12: Present Suffering, Future Glory
We have suffering here on earth, but we will have glory forever in heaven. Because of that, we can appreciate life for what it is, not what we want it to be. We can know that suffering is a pivot point and trust the sustaining work of the Holy Spirit.
Watch / ListenRescued, Part 11: Life in the Spirit
Those who are in Jesus Christ can embrace the fact that they are no longer condemned. In Him, we can learn to discern with the help of the Holy Spirit, embrace our adoption as God’s children, and evaluate the fruit of the Spirit in our lives.
Watch / ListenRescued, Part 10: The Struggle with Sin
As Christians, we need to acknowledge our battle with sin, but we must also embrace the way out that God provides and endeavor to walk in the Spirit.
Watch / ListenRescued, Part 9: Grace Is Not Permission to Sin
Our response to God’s grace should not be to sin more freely, but to choose to be slaves to Christ, to commit to obedience in our daily living, and to get baptized.
Watch / ListenRescued, Part 8: How Do We Send?
We cannot, in ourselves, save anyone else. But God sends His people to preach the gospel in His power so that others might hear, believe, and call upon Christ as Lord.
Watch / ListenRescued, Part 7: Death in Adam, Life in Christ
All have sinned, all are under the reign of sin and death, and all are in solidarity with Adam. But we find the gift of grace in the second Adam, Jesus Christ.
