Many of our difficulties in the Christian life stem from the fact that we don’t really know God as we ought to know him. Our view of God is too small—too domesticated—too much formed by personal opinion and cultural assumption—and not nearly enough formed by the teaching of the Scriptures, through which God has made himself known. We begin this new series on the eternity of God—the truth that God in his being transcends time and is uniquely eternal. This is a vital truth for us to explore.
When we read reviews, we’re tapping into the prior experiences of others. Our study today is essentially Paul's review of another church’s experience passed on to the Corinthian church, and to us.
1 Cor 16:1-4
We all want to get a good return on our investments, yet it’s not guaranteed. But did you know that when we invest in our faith, God guarantees a three-fold return? Philip De Courcy explains how we receive a fruitful life, the assurance of salvation, and a rewarding life beyond the grave.
If you’ve been listening to the past few messages from Pastor Jeff, you will remember that God has full and perfect knowledge of the future. Pastor Jeff teaches us today that this concept of foreknowledge actually fixes one of the main points of tension we can have with Calvinism. God predestines us to be saved, but that is only because He knows before we are even born that we will accept Jesus’ gift of salvation! That’s why predestination and free will don’t necessarily contradict each other.
