Discipleship and Apologetics Pastor, Ben Compton shares the story of God breaking in upon his happy agnosticism gives his testimony of God's strange and beautiful faithfulness in his life.

07/28/22 Is God still at work today? Is He still saving people in radical ways? Is anyone too far from God to be saved? - I believe scripture answers those questions, Yes, Yes, and No. - And so does my strange story of coming to faith and God's ongoing, strange, and beautiful faithfulness to me.

Psalms 86 (ESV) Great Is Your Steadfast Love
A PRAYER OF DAVID.
​1 Incline your ear, O LORD, and answer me,
for I am poor and needy.
2 Preserve my life, for I am godly;
save your servant, who trusts in you—you are my God.
3 Be gracious to me, O Lord,
for to you do I cry all the day.
4 Gladden the soul of your servant,
for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving,
abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.
6 Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer;
listen to my plea for grace.
7 In the day of my trouble I call upon you,
for you answer me.
8 There is none like you among the gods, O Lord,
nor are there any works like yours.
9 All the nations you have made shall come
and worship before you, O Lord,
and shall glorify your name.
10 For you are great and do wondrous things;
you alone are God.
11 Teach me your way, O LORD,
that I may walk in your truth;
unite my heart to fear your name.
12 I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart,
and I will glorify your name forever.
13 For great is your steadfast love toward me;
you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.
14 O God, insolent men have risen up against me;
a band of ruthless men seeks my life,
and they do not set you before them.
15 But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.
16 Turn to me and be gracious to me;
give your strength to your servant,
and save the son of your maidservant.
17 Show me a sign of your favor,
that those who hate me may see and be put to shame
because you, LORD, have helped me and comforted me.

5-7 m read. Worth your time.

Though many object to the idea of penal substitutionary atonement, here’s how we know Jesus’ blood cleanses from all sin, fully satisfies the divine demand for justice, and rescues us from the Father’s wrath to come.

What does Paul mean when he speaks about previously being dead in our trespasses and sins?

And having received the grace of God, is the rest simply up to us?

These questions deserve biblical answers. Today's episode does just that. Come and see!

Topical Sermon Preached at Providence Community Church. 04/28/24 Before we knew Christ, we were dead in our trespasses and sins. Unable and unwilling to rightly respond to God. Having received the grace of God, is the rest up to us? How do we explain God's promises of keeping us "blameless till the....

The triumphal entry teaches us that no matter how unstable and dangerous the world feels, we can trust the man on the donkey.

Fascinating. Worth your time…

Paul wrote his letters in the shadow of Rome. His words stood in stark contrast to Roman rule and its honor-shame culture. Join Tim and Jon in exploring the cultural context of the New Testament letters and the questions we should consider.

Are you afraid about tomorrow?

I'll be honest, I've been a little nervous.

People on both sides of the political aisle are walking
in a lot of fear.

People afraid of whether the election will actually happen or not.
People afraid of what might happen after the election if there is one.

The truth is, the election, and not even tomorrow are guaranteed.

The Lord reminded me this weekend, that practically speaking,
only 1 day is certain.

And no man on Earth knows when it is,
but it is more certain than your next breath.

So let Paul's prayer remind us of how to pray,
And if we name the name of Christ, what to pray for 1 another.

God bless you all.

PS, I'm not saying to ignore the things that are going on.
But we cannot let fear of a POSSIBLE tomorrow control us,
Or choke out how we ought to live in light of the day that is coming for certain.

GRACE opens and closes all of Paul’s letters.

More so…

To Know Paul,
Is to know a man wide-eyed as a child, staggered by, awed by,
and overwhelmed with Wonder by the gift of God's grace to us
in Christ Jesus our Lord—
Christ's Incarnation and life,
and most especially his suffering, crucifixion,
and facing of the father's Wrath on our behalf,
and his exaltation to Glory.

To know Paul is to know a man more in awe
of God's Saving Grace to us,
than most of us have ever been in awe of anything in our entire lives.

Lord God,
Grant us such eye widening, jaw-dropping Wonder
at your saving and transforming Grace to us in Christ Jesus.
Amen.
