Today we have a special guest with us on Renewalcast to help us with the law and gospel distinction -- Patrick Abendroth is serving as the senior pastor of Omaha Bible Church and he is originally from Omaha and is a graduate of the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. It was during his time at UNL that Pat was converted and became a Christian. Pat has earned his Masters degree from The Master's Seminary in Southern California and has served at Omaha Bible Church as Senior Pastor since 1998. Pat and his wife Molly met at UNL and were married in 1991. They have five children.

Seeing Christ exalted and lives transformed through expository preaching is the driving pastoral passion for Pat. Beyond proclaiming Christ at Omaha Bible Church, it is a pleasure for Pat to be involved in training pastors in the U.S. and abroad.

If you see Pat away from a pulpit, he will likely be either doing a flip on a wakeboard or peddling like mad training for a road race. It would be an understatement to say he enjoys both sports.

In 2016 Pat earned his doctorate from the Ligonier Academy of Biblical and Theological Studies. His doctoral project is a promotion and defense of classic federal theology.
