Assured By Grace - What About Those Who Have Never Heard? Part 1
play

04/19/22 • 35 min

Danny and Phil address a question that atheists use to challenge Christians, and Christians often struggle with. Theologians suggest that God sovereignly elects those who will be saved, and makes sure they hear and believe the gospel, or that God omnisciently knows who would believe if they heard the gospel, and saves them even if they don't believe in Jesus. But Scripture is clear: There is no way to gain eternal life but through faith in Jesus Christ. So...what about those who never hear the gospel? Does Scripture provide an answer? Yes! The grace of God provides the only biblical and satisfying answer, and provides hope to everyone in the world.

Assured By Grace - Is culture's beef with authority affecting the church?
play

08/01/22 • 32 min

The percentage of Americans who see the Bible as the actual Word of God has dropped to 20%, a new all-time low according to Gallup. For the first time, significantly more Americans view the Bible as not being divinely inspired than as the literal Word of God. Even several Christian organizations and denominations who have historically held to an inerrant view of Scripture seem to be teetering on the brink of giving in to more liberal theologies. Phil and Danny take a closer look at one reason this trend is growing in our culture. In the near-term, the trend may not change, but the believer should not fear! Rest Assured: When God gave us His Word, He didn't lie and He didn't stutter.

Manhood and masculinity are distorted in modern culture, and Christian men often struggle to know how to live.

Join Phil and Danny as they discuss the challenges of pursuing spiritual maturity as a man. What Scripture-based solutions to the needs of men can the church provide?

Why is there suffering?

Assured By Grace

play

11/15/21 • 33 min

We all experience pain and suffering in this life. Many books and articles attempt to answer some basic form of the question, why do bad things happen to good people, though most of their answers fall flat as authors pitch platitudes to excuse God while clinging to a deterministic view of His sovereignty. Yet, is this really even the right question to be asking when facing such problems? Join Phil and Danny as they take a closer look at who is really to blame for suffering and where true comfort and assurance can be found in times of trouble.
