The Apostle Paul vs. The NRTADV
Our circumstances, even in suffering, can serve to advance the gospel and inspire boldness in others, challenging us to embrace this truth rather than seeking only comfort and deliverance.
My Thanksgiving and Prayer
We give thanks for the love, spiritual wisdom, righteousness in Christ, and hope in the gospel in our church even as we pray for these to abound more and more.
God Finishes What He Starts
One of the great promises in Scripture is that He who began a good work in us will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. In this sermon, we reflect on the nature of human experience, where we often start things but fail to finish due to limited resources or changing desires, contrasting this with God’s unwavering faithfulness and sovereignty. We explore various aspects of this promise, including the gift of life, salvation, sanctification, and the good works God has prepared for us, all of which are ongoing processes that will not be fully realized until Christ’s return. We find encouragement to rest in this promise, understanding that completion may not occur in this lifetime and that suffering is part of the journey, but God is always present, sustaining and guiding us through it all. Ultimately, the promise is one of hope and assurance in God’s faithfulness to fulfill His promises.
