In this study Siew Kiong talks about a special area of vocation - what we call ministry. It is also a way of bringing together blessing and vocation.

Two of biblical counseling's most influential leaders died within a year of each other (Adams and Powlison), and the movement has been fracturing ever since. In this series finale, Dr. Jared Poulton joins Jared and Dr. Alan Strange to bring the story into the present: the growing rift between "clinically informed" and "historic" biblical counseling, the theological debates over common grace and secular psychology no reformed denomination has ever weighed in on, and why so many Reformed Christians have kept biblical counseling at arm's length despite wanting exactly what it offers. Dr. Poulton makes the case for where the movement goes from here, and issues a direct challenge to pastors and elders who've sat this conversation out. Whether you've followed all four episodes or you're just catching up, this closing conversation will change how you think about the counsel happening in your own church.

The Christian life includes temptation, weakness, suffering, and an ongoing battle with sin. Yet these struggles will not have the final word. Dave Jenkins explains the biblical doctrine of glorification, the final stage of salvation when believers will be completely freed from sin and perfectly conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. He also considers how glorification relates to justification and sanctification and why this promised future gives Christians hope in suffering and strength for present faithfulness.

Spiritual growth is not about becoming impressive or achieving immediate perfection. It is the lifelong work of God as He transforms believers into the likeness of Christ through His Word, His Spirit, and His grace. Dave Jenkins explains what it means to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ, how God uses the ordinary means of grace, and why Christians should not lose heart when progress feels slow. The God who saves His people is faithful to sanctify them and complete the work He has begun.

The sermon proclaims that every true Christian is a priest. All must offer sacrifices and these consist of our bodies and our praises. All priests must also be engaged in the work of intercession.
