The Blessing of Election, Salvation by Grace, and the Resurrection

Circumstances in life can quickly shift our priorities and to do list, and if we only view life under the sun, we will be miserable and think all is vanity and vexation of Spirit like Solomon. Therefore, we need to lift our gaze to our spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ, the joy of election, the joy of salvation by grace, and the joy of the resurrection! Lord Jesus come quickly!

The Writing & The Lighting

Studying from 2 Cor. 3, we see the work of Christ in writing his law on the hearts of his people in the new birth. For those who have received the writing of the Lord upon their heart, they have the spiritual life to hear and receive the light of the gospel. For God’s born again children, the gospel provides light and clarity and illumination for the Lord’s people who need to be delivered from the darkness of this world unto the light of the gospel.

Fellowship

The church must remain steadfast in fellowship as well. Fellowship is directly linked to the apostles’ doctrine. We are thankful that we can have some degree of fellowship in Christ with all believers. However, the pinnacle of fellowship with Christ and others are those which we have fellowship in the gospel, fellowship of belief and joy in the apostles’ doctrine.

The Law of Life & Death

In Genesis 2, we see the command of the law of sin and death; when man sins, he dies. We have to understand that all mankind is dead in sins by nature, under the curse of the law of sin and death. The only hope to be redeemed from the law of sin and death is to be given a new law – the law of the Spirit of life in Jesus Christ!

Defending Biblical Creation

If we do not believe the first verse of the Bible, the devil has gotten a great advantage to cast doubt on the rest of the Bible as well. Satan has been very successful in deceiving many of God’s children to believe science falsely so-called to not believe the literal creation account from Genesis. We study this topic together to equip God’s people to defend this vitally important doctrine of the literal creation account from scripture.

The Model Prayer, Part 2

We return to a study of the model prayer, considering how we pray each day for our daily bread and forgive others as we trust that God will forgive us our trespasses as well.

The Apostles’ Doctrine

As we chart priorities to seek the kingdom of God first and foremost in the coming year, we try to consider – what does the spiritual life for a child of God look like on a daily basis in the kingdom of God? In the kingdom, we need to be steadfast, unmovable, reliable, and consistent, in four core activities, principally the apostles’ doctrine. We consider what is the doctrine the apostles’ upheld that we are called to earnestly contend for the truth daily as well.

Then Sings My Soul

Thinking on the line from the hymn How Great Thou Art, we consider what is the song of my soul? Our souls might be cast down or disquieted to where we feel like we cannot even sing. When we look at creation, at the cross, and at Christ’s second coming, there is always a reason to have joy in our soul to make our soul sing in praise and magnify the Lord.

Preservation of the Saints

The final point of the doctrines of grace gives comfort to God’s people of eternal security – that all the saints are preserved by Jesus Christ. All that were chosen in Christ before the world began, were justified by Christ on the cross, and not a single one of God’s children can ever be lost but will be eternally preserved in Christ to be in heaven at Jesus’ second coming.

Doctrines of Grace

These messages were delivered by Pastor David on the Gospel of Grace Radio Broadcast from October 2025 to January 2026.  He details the scriptural principles of salvation solely by the grace and sovereignty of God, known as the Doctrines of Grace that are oftentimes described by the TULIP acronym.
