Give, Gave, and Given The central message of "Give, Gave, and Given" is that salvation begins, continues, and finishes with what God has given in and through His Son. John 17 repeatedly uses the language of giving: the Father gave Jesus authority, gave Him a people, gave Him words, gave Him a work, and gave Him glory. Jesus then gave His people the Father's Word, gave His life for them, gave them His glory and mission, and promises ultimately to bring those the Father gave Him home to be with Him. The message emphasizes that these truths are all interconnected. We cannot celebrate that the Father gave Jesus His words while rejecting the truth that the Father also gave Him a people. Jesus says, "They were Yours, You gave them to Me." Rather than being afraid of biblical words such as election, chosen, grace, or given because they have sometimes been argued over or mishandled, believers should humbly receive everything Scripture teaches. The answer to badly taught doctrine is not avoiding doctrine, but handling God's truth faithfully. John 11 provides a powerful picture of God accomplishing purposes that men themselves did not understand. Caiaphas argued that Jesus should die in order to preserve the Jewish nation politically, but God was speaking something infinitely greater through his words: Jesus would die not only for that nation, but "to gather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad." Caiaphas was thinking Rome and self-preservation; God was accomplishing redemption. That same truth appears in Pilate. Pilate believed he held authority over Jesus, but Jesus reminded him that he could have no authority unless it had been given from above. Pila

Many men need courage to mend broken relationships because their natural response to conflict is often avoidance, silence, distance, or self-protection. The Word of God calls Christian men to a better and more courageous path. In this episode of Warriors of Grace, Dave Jenkins explains why biblical courage moves toward repentance, reconciliation, forgiveness, and restoration. Genuine repentance requires men to confess their sin specifically, humbly, and honestly. Biblical confrontation requires speaking directly and lovingly rather than gossiping, gathering allies, or allowing resentment to grow. Dave also explains the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation. Christians are responsible to pursue peace faithfully, but they cannot control how another person responds. Romans 12:18 reminds believers, "If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all." Through James 5:16, Matthew 18:15, and Romans 12:18, this episode offers practical guidance for examining your heart, preparing for difficult conversations, listening patiently, forgiving freely, and seeking restoration rather than personal victory. Christian men need the courage to mend broken relationships by pursuing repentance, forgiveness, peace, and restoration for the glory of God.

What if there was a gym for spiritual workouts? Actually, there is: it's called the church.

This sermon explores how to establish a restful and peaceful home by relying on God as the ultimate foundation and protector. It warns against the futility of anxiety over issues or the unknown, urging believers to trust in divine provision rather than exhausting themselves with worry. The message emphasizes the importance of godly leadership within the family and maintaining unity to avoid conflict arising from unequal spiritual standing. It further addresses the attitudes required for both parents and children, highlighting consistency in discipline and honor as essential components of a harmonious household. Ultimately, faithful stewardship of family relationships and reliance on Scripture lead to lasting peace and a positive testimony.
