Assured By Grace

For many believers it is difficult to confidently stand in faith when facing larger-than-life challenges. Yet, how was David able to confidently confront Goliath? In this episode, our hosts take a closer look at how the promises of God provide strength and assurance to modern day believers in the midst of troubling situations.

Have you experienced a bit of dread as you've looked at the news lately? Are you worried about any of today's problems including disease, political instability, or debt? In a time when an overabundance of information can draw our attention to all that is wrong in this world, how can we protect ourselves from being swept away by fear and insecurity? Join our hosts, Phil and Danny, as they delve into Psalms for a timeless answer to the problems of our time.

Many Christians today have little or no knowledge of the Rapture, and often this goes hand-in-hand with a lack of assurance. After all, a person who is uncertain where they will spend eternity will probably view an event that inaugurates the next life with apprehension, not anticipation. In this podcast, we 'connect the dots' between assurance of salvation, and looking forward to 'our blessed hope' of Jesus' appearing!

Millions of Christians fear witnessing because they are confused about the gospel. Many aren't sure it's really "good news" -- after all, the gospel is often confused with requirements to do something. Some today are saying it all depends on your good works. What does the Bible say? Is the gospel really "good news?" Yes!    

Hosts: Danny Woodward and Pastor Phil Congdon

Many popular Bible theologians teach that failure to heed the warnings seen throughout the book of Hebrews can impair a person’s eternal destiny, meaning whether they end up in heaven or hell, but do the Scriptures support such interpretations? How might a Christian “Drift Away” and what does it mean to hold fast to our confidence in Christ? In this episode we take a peek into the book of Hebrews and highlight God’s desire for fellowship!

After Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias passed away last year, his legacy was tarnished by revelations of sexual sin over many years. As a result, many pastors and Christian leaders have suggested that his sin brings his eternal salvation into doubt. Some have condemned him to hell because of this. Is this something we should do? Is the question of a person’s eternal destiny determined by their works? Danny and Phil discuss the response of John MacArthur and others, and the issue of “false teachers” in the church.

In this episode, we take a deeper look at a Scripture passage from 2 Corinthians 11:12-15. Does this passage provide a litmus test for how bad a person can be before they can be deemed “unsaved,” or does it simply demonstrate an obvious truth regarding the presence of false teachers in our midst?

A discussion with Dr. Charlie Bing

Do you have a family member who was raised in a church but they no longer claim Christ as their savior? Maybe you simply have someone close to you who is living like they could care less about their faith and they have no interest in discussing their beliefs with you. It is heart-wrenching to sit alongside these people we love and to feel so helpless to reach them. In this episode Pastor Phil discusses the importance of prayer. How do we lift these people up to God and what can we pray about for them?

So the Bible promises that salvation comes by grace through faith in Christ Jesus, but how can we trust the Bible? Where does the Bible get its authority? Were the Scriptures simply written by men or were those men inspired to write what they wrote by divine intervention? Join us as Pastor Phil offers reason and insight while responding to these important questions.
