Today begins a NEW study on the book of Acts entitled "Unstoppable". When the early apostles were persecuted, a teacher named Gamaliel said:

The book of Acts is the story of the unstoppable Gospel of Christ. In this episode, we'll look at the crucial nature of the book of Acts.

What does humility really look like? How does it change our lives, our culture, our families? This week's bonus episode comes from Rob's pulpit ministry at The Donelson Fellowship, as he explores the Bible's core teaching to the Church on the subject of humility from Philippians 2.

When I studied the final verse of "How Firm a Foundation", I was astonished at how familiar with the original Greek of Hebrews 13:5 the hymn's author must have been! Today we'll look at the 5 fold promise in Scripture that God will "never, no never, no never forsake" us as His people.

Today's podcast episode should encourage you to appreciate aging! Isaiah 46:4 says: "Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you."

That verse is the inspiration for the seventh verse of the hymn "How Firm a Foundation" Do you know it? It starts: "E'en down to old age, my people shall prove / My sov'reign, eternal, unchangeable love". Let's dive into this idea and the Scripture that inspired it today.

Don't you love this verse of "How Firm a Foundation"? "When through fiery trials thy pathways shall lie / My grace all sufficient shall be thy supply / The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design / Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine"

This verse comes from four different Bible passages, which we'll explore in their contexts in today's Podcast episode.

"When through the deep waters I call thee to go. The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow..." Do you know that verse from "How Firm a Foundation"? It comes from Isaiah 43, a precious promise which unfolds in five certainties, which we'll look at together in this episode.

Remember the line from How Firm a Foundation: "Fear not, I am with thee, oh be not dismayed, for I am thy God and will still give thee aid"? It comes right out of Isaiah 41:10, which is an incredible passage to study. In this episode Rob unfolds the context around this incredibly encouraging verse.

Remember this line from How Firm a Foundation: "I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand"? The inspiration for this stanza comes from Deuteronomy 33:6: "And your strength shall equal your days". In this episode, Rob explains the context and truth behind this incredible promise from Scripture.

Remember the verse of How Firm a Foundation that says: "What more can he say than to you he hath said, to you who for refuge to Jesus have fled"? It comes from Hebrews 6:18: "We who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement". In Part 2 of this series, Rob explains this incredible passage in the book of Hebrews.
