Ideas Have ConsequencesHomosexuality, Ted Cruz, Uganda, and the Law with Tom AscolWe made it through June. However, in many places around the world, cultures are being discipled more by the new LGBTQ “religion” instead of by the church. Today, we interview Dr. Tom Ascol, pastor of Grace Baptist Church and founder of Founders Ministries. We ask him how Christians can regain their God-given commission to disciple their nations. One of the primary reasons many Christians stay silent during “Pride Month” is because they don’t understand the biblical framework for sex, marriage, and identity. Recently Dr. Ascol made headlines when he challenged U.S. Senator Ted Cruz over God’s laws about t...2023-07-051h 04

Pastor Tom breaks down what happened and the major arguments, as well as why Rick Warren's argument doesn't hold up against biblical standards. We discuss how God does in fact equip women to share the gospel and learn theology, but a pastor is not just a evangelist, nor just a theologian. We also...2023-06-2851 min

Ecclesiastes was written as a result of Solomon’s focused attention on making sense of the world. Throughout, he has reflected on finding meaning in work, pleasure, wisdom, and wealth. Vanity of vanities is his finding if there is no god. Solomon, in this the book’s conclusion, finds the reality of God’s existence leads to man’s duty: fear God and keep His commands.
To this point the Preacher has taught us carefully. The clarity of tho...2022-11-2744 minSermons by Founders MinistriesTom Ascol | Rejoice and Remember - Ecclesiastes 11:7-12:8Pastor Tom Ascol continues with his series on Ecclesiastes. Today’s message, entitled “rejoice and remember,’ is built around Chapter 11:7 through Chapter 12:8. Modern western culture seems obsessed with youthfulness. Yet youth is fleeting. Since aging and death are certain, Qohelet, the Preacher, the author of Ecclesiastes, urges readers to recognize these truths and remember their Creator to enjoy life.
The Preacher has little sympathy for superficial outlooks on life. He is realistic; life must be lived in a fallen world. While this sounds discouraging it need not be. Throughout, Ecclesiastes has shown we are to enjoy life. In tod...2022-11-2055 minSermons by Founders MinistriesTom Ascol | Entrepreneurship in the Kingdom of God - Ecclesiastes 11:1-6Pastor Tom Ascol continues his series on Ecclesiastes with a message entitled “Entrepreneurship in the Kingdom of God” built upon Ecclesiastes 11:1 – 6. Our passage today calls us to become entrepreneurs of life. We are to stop playing it safe and living scared. Rather, we are to live openly, daring to make a difference.
Though the initial illustration may not be clear to present-day readers, the lessons in our passage are plain. First, be bold yet wise. In biblical times setting to sea was risky but after the return voyage it was usually very profitable. Investing may not be as tri...2022-11-1342 minSermons by Founders MinistriesTom Ascol | Of Flies, Snakes and Birds - Ecclesiastes 9:13-10:20Pastor Tom Ascol continues his series on Ecclesiastes with a message entitled “Of Flies, Snakes and Birds: The Value of Wisdom and Danger of Folly” centered on Ecclesiastes 9:13 – 10:20. The lives of many people, people striving to live life wisely, have been stained by a temporary lapse of judgment speaking foolish words or carrying out some foolish actions. Such a lapse shows the value of wisdom and the danger of folly.
The lesson is simple, be wise and avoid folly, but living that lesson is difficult. Yet, Qohelet, the author of Ecclesiastes, writes wisdom is important in governance. Wisdom...2022-11-0650 minSermons by Founders MinistriesTom Ascol | Enjoy Your Life in This Fallen World - Ecclesiastes 9:1-12Pastor Tom Ascol continues the series in Ecclesiastes with a message entitled “Enjoy Your Life in a Fallen World” built upon Ecclesiastes 9:1–12. An initial reading of today’s passage might leave one to believe no matter how hopeful a situation may be, there is always a likely downside. This pessimism tinges a person’s outlook robbing them of experiencing deep, genuine joy. In one sense, living “under the sun” as we have seen, this pessimism may make sense but believers are charged to live with joy.
In fact, Ecclesiastes is a book about joy. Today’s text informs us the w...2022-10-3055 minSermons by Founders MinistriesTom Ascol | The Benefits and Limits of Wisdom - Ecclesiastes 8:1-17Pastor Tom Ascol continues his series on the book of Ecclesiastes with a message centered on Chapter 8 entitled “The Benefits and Limits of Wisdom.” We have all witnessed situations that would have turned out better had a little wisdom been used. Even routine daily encounters could be more profitable if wisdom was employed in interpersonal dealings. Oftentimes small problems would not become big problems if handled wisely. God’s Word has a specific emphasis on wisdom and its benefits, yet wisdom cannot explain everything.
Wisdom can enable you to live well. The first seven verses in today’s passag...2022-10-2346 minSermons by Founders MinistriesTom Ascol | How to Live Well - Ecclesiastes 7:15-29Pastor Tom Ascol continues in the series on Ecclesiastes with a sermon entitled “How to Live Well” centered on Ecclesiastes 7:15 – 29. As we have seen, the author, Qohelet, has been brutally honest about life on earth having identified a seeming lack of fairness. In today’s passage, he wrestles with the unfairness of the young dying and the wicked prospering.
Qohelet teaches three lessons the first of which is “Sometimes the world does not make sense.” The author is not alone in his struggle (for example, see Psalm 73). In fact, Qohelet claims attempting to ‘live by the rules’ does not guarant...2022-10-1648 minSermons by Founders MinistriesTom Ascol | Coram Deo - Ecclesiastes 6:10-7:14Pastor Tom Ascol continues his series on the book of Ecclesiastes with a message, “Coram Deo,” developed around Ecclesiastes 6:10 – 7:14. To this point the book and its author, the Preacher, have examined life as it is apart from God. Yet we all live before the face of God (Coram Deo). God sees all. The preacher now teaches that to live well in this world one must consciously and deliberately live before the face of God. If the Bible is real, then there is meaning and purpose in life. Thus, Ecclesiastes teaches joy and wisdom are to be found in God.
...2022-10-0945 minSermons by Founders MinistriesTom Ascol | The Love of Money - Ecclesiastes 5:8-6:9Pastor Tom Ascol continues his series on the book of Ecclesiastes with a message centered on Chapter 5, Verse 8 through Chapter 6, Verse 9, entitled “The Love of Money.” Money and wealth can easily become too important in our lives. Jesus tells us “No one can serve two masters . . . . You cannot serve God and money” (Matthew 6:24). In today’s passage, the Preacher warns against, and shows the pitfalls of, chasing after wealth. In fact, his main lesson teaches we should guard against pursuing riches by learning to enjoy God’s daily gifts.
We find three main points the Preacher uses in his argum...2022-10-0249 minSermons by Founders MinistriesTom Ascol | Worship God Reverently - Ecclesiastes 5:1-7Pastor Tom Ascol continues his series on Ecclesiastes with a sermon on Chapter 5, Verses 1 through 7 entitled “Worship God Reverently.” Worship matters to God, He cares what we think of Him and how we act out those beliefs. Unfortunately, true reverence is often lacking in today’s worship. In today’s text the author shifts from giving his own observations about life in a fallen world to instructing us how to approach God in worship.
The Preacher, the author of the book, gives four specific warnings. First, we are to be careful how we enter worship. God’s holiness d...2022-09-2545 minSermons by Founders MinistriesTom Ascol | One Is the Loneliest Number - Ecclesiastes 4:7-16Pastor Tom Ascol continues his series on Ecclesiastes with a message on Chapter 4:7-16 entitled “One Is the Loneliest Number.” American culture often makes heroes of rugged, self-reliant individuals. While it is true that individual effort overcoming obstacles may be ennobling, individualism eventually leads to a lonely, empty life. It is not a scriptural prescription. God has designed us for community.
Ecclesiastes teaches a person who has “no other…[is] never satisfied” (v. 8). Working by and for yourself is self-defeating. Furthermore, it is shortsighted. Continuing, the loner does not ask “for whom am I toiling and depriving myself of pl...2022-09-1835 minSermons by Founders MinistriesTom Ascol | Work and Wealth in a Wicked World - Ecclesiastes 3:16-4:6Pastor Tom Ascol continues his series on Ecclesiastes with a message centered on Chapter 3:16 through Chapter 4:6 entitled “Work and Wealth in a Fallen World.” Injustice, oppression, and hopelessness have characterized the life of countless numbers over the centuries. It remains the lot of many today. The Preacher observes this theme in today’s passage. Without God, the Preacher’s point in his use of the idiom “under the sun,” men can hope only to enjoy their work and its fruit.
Injustice is so rampant we sometimes fail to take notice. Siblings intentionally hurt each other, employers are less than fa...2022-09-1147 minSermons by Founders MinistriesTom Ascol | God Rules Our Times - Ecclesiastes 3:1-15Pastor Tom Ascol continues his series on Ecclesiastes with a message on Chapter 3:1 – 15 entitled “God Rules Our Times.” Time is a fascinating concept. It unfailingly moves on, people can remember the past but not the future. Things happen and cannot be changed back. Time passes, seasons change. Ecclesiastes invites us to consider these things so we can learn to live wisely, and see in the broader context that God rules our time.
There are three questions today’s text helpfully answers as it seeks to assist us in fearing and understanding God. The first asks, “What is true of ti...2022-09-0450 minSermons by Founders MinistriesTom Ascol | A Meaningful Life In A Fallen World - Ecclesiastes 1:12-2:26Pastor Tom Ascol continues his series on the book of Ecclesiastes with a message entitled “A Meaningful Life in a Fallen World” centered on Ecclesiastes 1:12 – 2:26. Ecclesiastes takes an honest look at things people do in order to make their lives work addressing head on the cultural complaint heard decades ago from the Rolling Stones, “I can’t get no satisfaction.” The author proclaims all is vanity. This is true in a life without God. However, the author recognizes God is good, gives all gifts to enjoy, and, for His own people, eliminates the apparent futility of life.
At the end o...2022-08-2851 minSermons by Founders MinistriesTom Ascol | No Profit from Toil - Ecclesiastes 1:3-11Pastor Tom Ascol continues his series on the book of Ecclesiastes with a sermon entitled “No Profit from Toil” explaining Ecclesiastes 1:3 – 11. “All we are is dust in the wind” is the theme to a popular ballad of the 1970’s. That theme echoes the theme of Ecclesiastes which seems to be vanity, all is vanity. Knowingly or not, both reflect the futility of a life without God. A life without God is described as being “under the sun.” That is, there is no inclusion of things above the sun. It is a life without God, the very God who rules over all, above...2022-08-2138 minSermons by Founders MinistriesTom Ascol | Life Without God - Ecclesiastes 1:1-2Pastor Tom Ascol begins a series on the book of Ecclesiastes. The message, entitled “Real Life in a Fallen World” based on Ecclesiastes 1:1 – 2, provides both an introduction and first lessons. A main point of the whole book is that life is complicated. Everyone sees life a bit differently due to their individual experiences, temperaments or circumstances. Ecclesiastes is a book that looks at life as it really is in a fallen world.
The book’s author opens with an expression of frustration; life without God is meaningless. It may be helpful to understand who the author is. He ident...2022-08-1439 minSermons by Founders Ministries Tom Ascol | Final Warnings Exhortations and Encouragements - 2 Corinthians 13:1-14Pastor Tom Ascol finishes his series on 2 Corinthians covering Chapter 13 in a message entitled “Final Warnings, Exhortations, and Encouragements.” Paul’s pointed and personal words here to a troubled church, the result of his deep love for the Corinthians, remain applicable to the church today.

Paul uses this chapter to continue finish writing, however self-consciously, about himself and then transitions into one of the most important lessons a Christian can learn.

He fell, just as the false teachers in today’s passage fell, to the temptation to promote themselves usually at the expense of others but, more importantly, at the expense of the glory due God.

In a message entitled “Concerns of a Faithful Ministry,” the pastor opens God’s Word at 2 Corinthians 10:1 – 18. Nehemiah provides an example of a faithful ministry. Called by God from the center of the cultural world, he was sent to rebuild the city of Jerusalem’s walls. Nehemiah faithfully opposed enemies and built up the congregation all for the glory of God. Such should be the ministry of a faithful believer. So it was with Paul.

Everyone seems to know of examples where churches appear to be focused on “passing the basket” for collections but in this passage God’s mind on giving is plainly evident.

Many people have been oppressed by depression over the years. Christians are not immune from this scourge, yet hesitate to admit it. Their thinking is, if a person is forgiven and welcomed into the family of God, “about what should they be depressed.” Even so, depression is a reality and today’s passage looks at how the Apostle Paul overcame depression in his life and ministry.

In today’s passage Paul uses the metaphor of a yoke, the apparatus farmers use to join animals used for plowing, to teach principles for the Christian life. Just as different breeds of animals do not work well when yoked, so Christians must be careful about ties that bind them to the world.

That ministry cannot be measured truthfully by appearances of success or prosperity. Following in the footsteps of Jesus Christ usually results in opposition, hardships, and trials. This result in the lives of believers accurately reflects the reality of Jesus’ suffering.

In a message entitled “The Ministry of Reconciliation, the pastor opens God’s Word explaining 2 Corinthians 5:11 – 6:2. Using a vignette from the life of Henry David Thoreau, an illustration was drawn showing both mankind’s sincerity and willful ignorance of God’s desire for reconciliation. Today people willfully ignore biblical teachings such as “all have sinned” (Romans 3:23) the result of which leaves them “by nature children of wrath” (Ephesians 2:3). As sincere as we may try to be, ignoring both our biblical estate and God’s reconciling plan of salvation really does show our willful ignoranc...2022-07-0458 minSermons by Founders MinistriesTom Ascol | Life After Death - 2 Corinthians 5:1-10 Pastor Tom Ascol continues in his series on 2 Corinthians. In a message entitled “Life After Death” pastor covers 2 Corinthians 5:1 – 10. Humans, it seems, almost universally wonder “What happens when we die?” Public fascination with near-death experiences seem to bear this out. Indeed, a group of doctors and scientists report, after a four-year study, evidence that human life continues after biological death. What does this mean for those alive today?

For over two millennia simple earthen pots had held treasures of the Old Testament. In a similar manner, the bodies of believers, simple earthen vessels, are indwelt by the Holy Spirit with the ability to proclaim the gospel message, a treasure of even greater value than the scrolls. In fact, it points to one of the truths r...2022-06-0339 minSermons by Founders MinistriesTom Ascol | Characteristics of a Faithful Ministry (Part 2) - 2 Corinthians 4:1-6Pastor Tom Ascol continues in his series in 2 Corinthians with a message entitled “Gospel Power in Human Weakness” centering on 2 Corinthians 4:1-6. How, in our weakness, are we to discern faithful ministry? Remarkably, some sources have identified over 2400 allegedly Christian radio stations. Christians need to be able to differentiate between trustworthy ministries and those teaching error. Luke (8:18) tells his readers to “Take care, then, how you hear.” In today’s message we will pick up from last week and look at the final two of the four characteristics Paul branded as indicative of a faithful gospel ministry.

In a message entitled “Characteristics of a Faithful Ministry, Part 1,” the pastor examines 2 Corinthians 4:1-6. We have seen in the series so far that false teachers had attacked Paul’s ministry, yet like to Corinthians we also may have trouble detecting false ministers. Sometimes they are not all easily detected. In this passage, Paul assesses some of the characteristics of a faithful ministry which should be evident in the work of faithful ministers.

There are spiritual barriers preventing the clear proclamation and understanding of truth that only the Holy Spirit’s work can overcome. Therefore, the Bible teaches that the New Covenant is superior to the Old Covenant and, consequently, ministry under the New Covenant surpasses ministry under the Old.

The apostle Paul’s purpose in writing today’s passage is to continue countering the attack toward his ministry by false prophets troubling the Corinthian church. Rather than a letter of recommendation, common in that age, the passage serves as a word of commendation and justification.

In this passage Paul makes the point that faithful gospel ministers are invaluable in helping people know and follow Christ. Further, and since this is so, Satan’s strategy is to undermine those ministers and convince believers they have little need for the ministry of the church.

Centering on 2 Corinthians 2:5-11 Pastor Ascol notes the often widespread breakdown in discipline within government, education, and homes that makes the concept of discipline in a church seems foreign. Yet, today’s passage shows Christ calling His church to deal with sin with discipline and grace.

A gospel minister’s stock in trade is truth. Any lack of integrity or truth hinders the work to which the minister has been called. It has ever been so. Today’s passage shows Paul effectively defending his integrity to the Corinthian church which apparently had listened to false charges leveled against him.

The Christian life is a life of faith. While faith provides an entryway to a relationship with God it does not stop there. Faith needs renewal, strengthening, and growth. Paul teaches that necessity in his own life and in the lives of all believers.
