We are faced with thousands of decisions, conscious and unconscious, every hour. One psychology source says we make as many as thirty thousand choices each day. Though every decision has some consequence, most are not measureable. Some, however, determine the trajectory of our life and even our eternal soul. In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, we talk about three of the most vital decisions you will ever make. Be sure you make them circumspectly.

A Time for Pushback

In a world where societal norms are constantly shifting, Pastor Jack King observes a new era of cultural pushback.

Pastor Jack King opens by sharing a personal anecdote about injuring himself while installing new glass doors at his church. He notes the irony of his body reminding him that "the times have caught up with" him, a perfect lead-in to his main theme.

He then recounts hearing a statement from a public figure that he feels compelled to address, namely, the assertion that doing good work might be one's "ticket to heaven." Pastor King strongly refutes this idea, clarifying that:

-- Salvation is not earned through good works but is a gift received through faith in Jesus Christ. He explains that while good works are commendable, they cannot pay the price for sin.

-- The only way to heaven is through the atoning work of Jesus Christ on the cross. He stresses that we must confess our sins and ask Jesus to represent us before God. He refers to Jesus as the "mighty Lion of the tribe of Judah," our counsel, who pleads our case before the heavenly court.

Pastor King then discusses the cultural shifts he's witnessed, particularly as a "child of the 60s." He reflects on how societal and media influences have, over time, promoted agendas that he believes are contrary to a Christian worldview, leading many to feel like "oddballs" if they spoke out. He suggests that we are now seeing a "pushback" against this trend, a time when people are becoming bolder in speaking their minds and standing firm in their convictions. He emphasizes that this stance should always be rooted in love for one another, regardless of differences.

Join Pastor Jack King as he dives into the concept of "lively hope" from 1 Peter. This is more than just ordinary hope; it's a vibrant, joyful expectation rooted in the abundant mercy of God and the transformative power of Jesus' resurrection. Pastor King explains that this hope is the basis for the new birth—a spiritual awakening that gives us a spiritual inheritance reserved in heaven.

In this message, you will discover:

-- The meaning of "lively hope" and how it should fill us with joy and gratitude for God's abundant mercy.

-- The power of Jesus' resurrection and how it guarantees our new life in Him.

-- The spiritual "pardon" offered by Christ and why it's crucial to accept it before it's too late.

-- How trials and temptations, though difficult, can refine our faith, making it more precious than gold.

-- The difference between squandering our spiritual inheritance and valuing it as an eternal gift.

-- The importance of walking by faith to please God and grow in our relationship with Him.
