This isn’t a chance hope but a hopeful certainty. We know the Lord Jesus Christ is returning for his church, and this is our hopeful certainty.

The Qualities of Saving Faith
True saving faith has certain qualities that determine if that faith is genuine or false. Is your faith genuine, or are you depending on a prayer you prayed or an aisle walked for saving faith? This is a question we all must face, and on today’s podcast, Grant confronts us with that question as he begins to explore the qualities of saving faith.

False Disciples
Jesus knows the heart. Regardless of what we may say or do on the outside, Jesus knows the true intentions of our hearts. During his earthly ministry, masses of people followed Christ for what he could physically do for them, but when things got tough, they turned away. There are many false disciples. Disciples that have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof. On today’s podcast, Grant takes us to the Gospel of John and gives us some insight into the characteristics of a false disciple.

But God
When discussing salvation, "but God" is a powerful reminder that our rescue doesn't come from anything we've done. It's all about what God does for us. Even when we're lost in our mistakes and can't find our way back, "but God" tells us that He comes in with His love and grace. He gifts us his grace not because we worked hard for it or are good enough, but just because He loves us through Christ. That's the heart of being saved by grace alone – it's a free gift from God, no strings attached.

Grace Alone
Sometimes grace is difficult to understand because we want to believe we have actually contributed something to salvation. However, the Protestant Reformers come along and point to what Scripture says, that salvation is by grace alone. All we contribute to our salvation is our sin, and the saving from sin comes from Christ through grace alone. In this episode, Grant Castleberry shows us that grace is one of the most glorious doctrines of Scripture.

Christ Alone
The doctrine of Solus Christus, or Christ alone, is the heartbeat of Reformation Theology. That is, Jesus Christ is the only path to salvation. In other words, you don’t need anyone else—like saints or priests, and you don’t need anything—like your good works. In today’s episode, Grant explains why and how Christ alone is the only path of salvation. He also introduces us to the Reformer, John Calvin, and what Calvin had to say on the subject of Christ alone.

Scripture and the Gospel
Conversion in the gospel is intrinsically linked to the Word of God. Scripture stands as the cornerstone for authentic faith. Gimmicks will never take its place as the primary means through which men and women come to a knowledge of the truth. In this episode, Grant helps us understand that nothing replaces God's Word as the means through which we are saved.

Scripture Alone
As we discovered last time together, the Protestant Reformation was a return to the Word of God. A return to accepting and believing that God’s Word is free from error and entirely sufficient for training believers in all areas of the Christian life. In today’s episode, Grant continues to answer the question “What is Reformation Theology?” by giving us a clear look at the doctrine of Sola Scriptura, or Scripture Alone.

What is Reformation Theology? Part 2
At its heart, the Reformation was a return to the Word of God. It was a return to the centrality of Scripture to the heart and life of the believer. In today’s episode, Grant continues to answer, “What is Reformation Theology?” More than simply a historical movement during the sixteenth-century, the Reformation was a return to biblical Christianity that affected all subsequent generations of believers.

What is Reformation Theology?
At its core, Reformation Theology redirects our focus toward the essential truths that define Christian faith: the sovereignty of God, the infallibility of Scripture, and the centrality of Christ. In today’s episode, Grant begins to examine this theological tradition that emerges, ultimately from Scripture, but shines brightly during the sixteenth-century Reformation.

The Honor of God and the Gospel
In today's episode, Grant focuses on the honor of God as revealed through Jesus' Great Commission. When we actively engage in evangelism and missions, we aren't just fulfilling a command; we're participating in a form of honoring God. This divine call presses us to overcome doubt, withstand discouragement, and stay steadfast in our pursuit of sharing the Gospel.

The Mercy of God
On today’s episode, Grant Castleberry looks at the Apostle Paul and how his life stands as a compelling testimony that God's mercy isn't just an abstract theological concept, but a tangible reality that invigorates and sanctifies every fiber of our being. And, let us not forget, dear believers, that this same unchanging and inexhaustible mercy of God is available to each of us. It offers us sustenance in our moments of weakness, encouragement amidst our bouts of despair, and propels us forward towards the prize of Christ.

Grant Castleberry highlights the vital aspect of corporate worship and the role it plays in the Christian life. Corporate worship is the communal gathering where believers come together to glorify God and hear His Word. And this communal setting not only fosters a sense of unity within the body of Christ but also acts as a place of spiritual rejuvenation and encouragement for all believers.

Who Are We?
In today's world, our culture often confuses our understanding of our true identity. Yet, when we turn to Scripture, we are constantly reminded of a profound truth: every individual is beautifully and purposefully created in the image of God. On today’s episode, Grant turns to the words of David, in Psalm 8, who offers us an insightful perspective that guides us towards a deeper understanding of our place in God’s creation. It reminds us that our inherent worth doesn't stem from accolades or self-perceptions but from the undeniable fact that we are the handiwork of a majestic God.

Love Your Enemies
In today’s episode, Grant Castleberry delves into a topic we often avoid — extending love to our enemies. The capacity to love one’s enemies is a measure of authentic wisdom for followers of Christ. In other words, a genuinely wise and obedient believer approaches their enemies with a disposition dramatically different from worldly norms. Scripture instructs us to shower our enemies with kindness, pray for those who are against us, and love those who may take advantage of us. As believers, our resemblance to our heavenly Father is never more profound than when we exhibit love for our enemie

Wisdom Brings Joy
In this episode, Grant Castleberry navigates the deep spiritual waters of Proverbs 24:13. This is no ordinary exploration but a profound journey into the heart of wisdom, which is central to the Christian faith. The Bible implores us to seek wisdom, as it is through this pursuit that we discover the essence of joy that goes beyond temporary happiness. This joy, deeply rooted in divine wisdom, is enduring and unshakeable, permeating every aspect of the Christian life.
