Does Christian need sanctification? Do Christians care about following the law of God? Pastor Jared preaches that sanctification is still about the Gospel. The Gospel gives us sanctification and justification.

Pastor Jared goes through the Golden Chain explaining how the Gospel takes all the way to heaven, always taking care of us on the way there. The common myths about God loving those who help themselves fly in the face of this passage in the Bible. Similarly, this passage makes it clear that those that Christianity is not a religion that relies on the good works of the believers. Instead, it is about putting away the good works because those who the doers of the good works, can not please God, but only those who are in Christ by faith. These who are in Christ's by faith will be found righteous on the last day.

Is it true that "God helps those who help themselves"? According to Jeff Karel, that is terrible theology.

Jeff Karel explains the dangers facing the author of the song of ascent. According to Jeff, this psalm shows that the hill is not where God is and one might get help if he just musters enough strength to climb the hill. Rather, the hill is where the danger, uncertainty, death and devil lurks and God is the keeper and protector as we face those dangers. He is with us, even in the valley.

Jeff Karel explains the doctrine of reprobation as traditionally understood.

What is the best way to comfort believers? How can we derive comfort and assurance for ourselves and for others? What--if any! --theological or psychological techniques or methods do we need to use? What if we did not need anything special to derive comfort? Pastor Jared discovers a proven but long forgotten trick taught in Scriptures. No matter how hopeless the case, this tricks always gives hope and comfort to believers.

Jeff Karel explains that the doctrine of reprobation is a great comfort to believers. However, many pastors twist the doctrine or preach it out of season, thereby leaving God's church without the comfort. Jeff Karel explains how this doctrine can comfort believers during times of loss of loved ones.

Pastor Jared explains how a Christian can become a mature disciple. Though this fact was a given to many in the past, to the surprise of the contemporaries, going to church and hearing the preaching of Christ is how one becomes a disciple and a mature Christian. True piety is not from a personal, 15-minute-long devotional, but from a faithful attendance of a true church that preaches Christ.
