Loving the Scriptures

Sometimes when God closes doors to certain opportunities in your life, He has other open doors reserved for you down the road. In the last episode, we began to explore this concept, and we continue that discussion in this episode.

Has God ever closed doors to certain opportunities, only to open up other doors down the road? The reasons for God's initial act of closing doors may be various, but we must trust that in all things, God has the best in mind. This is what we start to learn in Acts 16, which we begin to study in this episode. (Random note: See if you can hear the sound of the fighter jet flying overhead outside at some point in this episode).

When we think about James, the Lord's brother, we probably often think about the epistle he wrote in the New Testament. But James has something else to offer in Acts 15, as he joins the voices of leaders in the Jerusalem council in making a case for grace. In this episode, we explore how James promotes grace and rejects salvation by works.

Many people today believe that if salvation is available, it can be attained by some measure of works. It was no different for many Jews in the first century. But how does one make a case for grace? Paul, Barnabas, Peter, and James show us how in Acts 15.

Many people have wrestled with the question of whether a Christian's salvation is forever, or if it is possible for them to lose or forfeit that salvation. In this episode, I talk about how the Bible teaches that every believer's salvation is permanent in Christ, and how they are safe and secure in the hands of God.
