God Knows What Might Have Been
This teaching examines the depth of God’s exhaustive knowledge through the story of David at Keilah, where God reveals not only what will happen, but what would happen under different circumstances. It explores the harmony between divine sovereignty and real human choice, showing that while God knows every possible path, He remains the sovereign Creator who works all things according to His will.
Sovereignty and Prayer
This study tackles the tension between a sovereign God and the command to pray, arguing that prayer is not an attempt to change God’s mind but a primary means He uses to accomplish His ends. It illustrates how God dignifies His people by inviting them into His work, using their fervent petitions as the appointed instruments to bring about His purposes on earth.
The God Who Governs History
This recording explores the doctrine of providence, asserting that beneath the visible actions of nations and leaders stands the invisible hand of God directing history. By contrasting trust in human power with trust in the character of the Lord, it offers a foundation for stability and faith even when world events appear chaotic or uncertain.
Human Pride and False Security
This final segment diagnoses the pride that often accompanies stability, warning that abundance can lead to a quiet abandonment of gratitude and a false sense of independence. It points to Christ’s humility as the ultimate remedy, encouraging believers to anchor their security in the unchanging character of God rather than the fragile systems of this world.
Free Yet Bound
This session addresses the common misunderstanding of human freedom by explaining that while we choose freely, our choices are always governed by our nature. It describes the necessity of the new birth, showing how God’s grace does not coerce the will but liberates it, changing the human heart so that we begin to love and choose righteousness willingly.
The Two Wills
This teaching examines the Hypostatic Union, specifically focusing on the necessity of Christ possessing two distinct wills—divine and human. It argues that for our salvation to be a moral reality rather than a legal fiction, Jesus had to live a life of active obedience, voluntarily submitting His human will to the Father to heal the very seat of human rebellion.
Death, Resurrection, and Ascension
This teaching explores the whole mediatorial work of Christ, rejecting a fragmented Gospel in favor of the legal necessity of His death, rising, and session. It establishes Jesus as the Federal Head who legally satisfied God’s justice on the cross, was publicly vindicated in the resurrection, and currently reigns as the High King over every earthly authority.
