 Quiet Revival makes loud arrival.In April, the Bible Society dropped a bombshell report that found substantial increases in church attendance across England and Wales in the last six years, especially between the ages of 18 and 24, and especially among men. Catholics and Pentecostals benefited most, bolstered by migration. But growth in Catholic and Orthodox churches suggests the enduring appeal of traditional religions, a trend also observed in the United States.The AI apocalypse is here.Call it the most important new technology since electricity. Describe it as the most important event in world history since Christ's resurrection. At this stage, no one knows where hyperbole stops and reality begins with unfolding AI revelations, which expose our need for greater focus on theological anthropology and epistemology.Charlie Kirk assassinated.At least outside young American conservatives, 31-year-old Charlie Kirk didn't become a household name until after his September assassination in Utah. Political organizer, Christian apologist, campus provocateur, Trump loyalist, affectionate husband and father—the varied roles played by Kirk revealed not only his enormous influence but also his complicated legacy.Into the leadership void at Turning Point USA stepped Erika Kirk, a formidable presence who announced at a memorial attended by up to 100,000 (including Trump and Vance) that For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

John Mark Comer reignites debate over substitutionary atonement.John Mark Comer has become one of the top-selling evangelical authors and might be the most popular Christian teacher among Gen Z, who are hungry for guidance in spiritual formation. When Comer posted to Instagram that Andrew Rillera's book Lamb of the Free delivered the “final biblical/exegetical knockout blow” to penal substitutionary atonement, he invited a bevy of Reformed rebuttals and reviews of Rillera.Even as he critiqued Reformed readings of the sacrificial system in Leviticus, Comer's own work received criticism for overlooking the church and historical confessions in discipleship.For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Leading evangelical seminary plans move from United States to Canada.Trinity Evangelical Divinity School rose to prominence in the 1960s and 1970s under its second dean, Kenneth Kantzer. Its renowned faculty—including Don Carson, Walt Kaiser, John Woodbridge, Wayne Grudem, and Carl F. H. Henry—helped American evangelicals recover from the fundamentalist/modernist controversies of the early 20th century, as well as the inerrancy dispute that erupted at Fuller Theological Seminary in 1962.By the early 21st century, TEDS alumni, including David Wells, Mark Noll, Doug Moo, and Craig Blomberg, held research positions in other seminaries, while Michael Oh led the Lausanne Movement.Long plagued with financial problems, TEDS leaders announced in April they would close the campus north of Chicago after the current school year as they merge with and relocate to Trinity Western University in British Columbia. Kevin Vanhoozer announced that instead of moving to Canada, he would join the faculty at Wheaton College's Litfin Divinity School.In other blows to the long-standing influence of Chicago-area theological education, Northern Seminary struggled through a presidential transition, and Trinity Christian College announced its closure after more than 60 years. The balance of evangelical power in the United States continues to shift to the South.For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Death of John MacArthur and other renowned Bible teachers leaves leadership void.For at least 30 years, if you studied the Bible on your own or in a small group, you had a good chance of finding help from John MacArthur or Kay Arthur, both of whom died in 2025.MacArthur's expository sermons laid the groundwork for the growth of Reformed theology around the world, while Arthur inspired younger generations of women to engage in serious inductive Bible study. Their published and spoken words will continue to form Christians studying the unchanging, ever-dynamic Word. But MacArthur's longtime leadership of Shepherds Conference, Grace Community Church, The Master's University, and The Master's Seminary leaves a gaping institutional void.Voddie Baucham, who often collaborated with MacArthur, died unexpectedly in 2025 at only 56 years old. Another stalwart leader in the Religious Right, Focus on the Family founder James Dobson, died this year at 89 years old.For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Isaiah 40 Comfort for God's People17 All the nations are as nothing before him,    they are accounted by him as less than nothing and emptiness.18 To whom then will you liken God,    or what likeness compare with him?19 An idol! A craftsman casts it,    and a goldsmith overlays it with gold    and casts for it silver chains.20 He who is too impoverished for an offering    chooses wood[h] that will not rot;he seeks out a skillful craftsman    to set up an idol that will not move.21 Do you not know? Do you not hear?    Has it not been told you from the beginning?    Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?22 It is he who sits above the circle of the earth,    and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers;who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,    and spreads them like a tent to dwell in;23 who brings princes to nothing,    and makes the rulers of the earth as emptiness.24 Scarcely are they planted, scarcely sown,    scarcely has their stem taken root in the earth,when he blows on them, and they wither,    and the tempest carries them off like stubble.25 To whom then will you compare me,    that I should be like him? says the Holy One.26 Lift up your eyes on high and see:    who created these?He who brings out their host by number,    calling them all by name;by the greatness of his might    and because he is strong in power,    not one is missing.27 Why do you say, O Jacob,    and speak, O Israel,“My way is hidden from the Lord,    and my right is disregarded by my God”?28 Have you not known? Have you not heard?The Lord is the everlasting God,    the Creator of the ends of the earth.He does not faint or grow weary;    his understanding is unsearchable.29 He gives power to the faint,    and to him who has no might he increases strength.30 Even youths shall faint and be weary,    and young men shall fall exhausted;31 but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;    they shall mount up with wings like eagles;they shall run and not be weary;    they shall walk and not faint.For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Isaiah 40 Comfort for God's People40 Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.2 Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,    and cry to herthat her warfare[a] is ended,    that her iniquity is pardoned,that she has received from the Lord's hand    double for all her sins.3 A voice cries:[b]“In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord;    make straight in the desert a highway for our God.4 Every valley shall be lifted up,    and every mountain and hill be made low;the uneven ground shall become level,    and the rough places a plain.5 And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed,    and all flesh shall see it together,    for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”The Word of God Stands Forever6 A voice says, “Cry!”    And I said,[c] “What shall I cry?”All flesh is grass,    and all its beauty[d] is like the flower of the field.7 The grass withers, the flower fades    when the breath of the Lord blows on it;    surely the people are grass.8 The grass withers, the flower fades,    but the word of our God will stand forever.The Greatness of God9 Go on up to a high mountain,    O Zion, herald of good news;[e]lift up your voice with strength,    O Jerusalem, herald of good news;[f]    lift it up, fear not;say to the cities of Judah,    “Behold your God!”10 Behold, the Lord God comes with might,    and his arm rules for him;behold, his reward is with him,    and his recompense before him.11 He will tend his flock like a shepherd;    he will gather the lambs in his arms;he will carry them in his bosom,    and gently lead those that are with young.12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand    and marked off the heavens with a span,enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure    and weighed the mountains in scales    and the hills in a balance?13 Who has measured[g] the Spirit of the Lord,    or what man shows him his counsel?14 Whom did he consult,    and who made him understand?Who taught him the path of justice,    and taught him knowledge,    and showed him the way of understanding?15 Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket,    and are accounted as the dust on the scales;    behold, he takes up the coastlands like fine dust.16 Lebanon would not suffice for fuel,    nor areFor more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Today, let's work through Psalm 100: A Psalm for giving thanks.1 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! 2 Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence withsinging! 3 Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and thesheep of his pasture. 4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; blesshis name! 5 For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.Questions:1. What does giving thanks look like (the manner of thankfulness)?2. What is the basis of our thankfulness?3. To whom is it directed?4. Is it weird that there is a corporate aspect to thanksgiving?5. What does Psalm 100 teach us about the fountain of true thanksgiving?For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Today we want to begin thinking about Thanksgiving and we want to really center our conversation today around averse in 1 Corinthians.▪ 1 Corinthians 4:7 – For who sees anything different in you? What do you have that you did not receive? Ifthen you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?This verse contains two questions:1. What do you have that you did not receive?2. If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?Paul asks this question, but it really is a statement disguised as a question.▪ What is Paul stating in this question?Back to the first question (What do you have that you did not receive?) which contains two parts:1. What do you have2. What do you have that you did not receive?▪ So, let's answer the questions.Consider also James 1:17 – “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father oflights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.”▪ If we fail to see that everything we have is from God, what does this do to our ability to be thankful and begrateful?▪ One person has written, “This question humbles the proud, enlightens the ignorant, and refocuses thepreoccupied.” Thoughts on this quote?▪ What are some things that contribute to our struggle with gratitude and thankfulness? What are some thingsthat can help us truly be thankful and grateful?▪ GK Chesterton wrote that, “the worst moment for the atheist is when he is really thankful and has not one tothank.” Thoughts on the quote?▪ How can we live in a worse ways than the atheist?For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Article 29: The Marks of the True ChurchWe believe that we ought to discerndiligently and very carefully,by the Word of God,what is the true church—for all sects in the world todayclaim for themselves the name of “the church.”We are not speaking here of the company of hypocriteswho are mixed among the good in the churchand who nonetheless are not part of it,even though they are physically there.But we are speaking of distinguishingthe body and fellowship of the true churchfrom all sects that call themselves “the church.”The true church can be recognizedif it has the following marks:The church engages in the pure preachingof the gospel;it makes use of the pure administration of the sacramentsas Christ instituted them;it practices church disciplinefor correcting faults.In short, it governs itselfaccording to the pure Word of God,rejecting all things contrary to itand holding Jesus Christ as the only Head.By these marks one can be assuredof recognizing the true church—and no one ought to be separated from it.As for those who can belong to the church,we can recognize them by the distinguishing marks of Christians:namely by faith,and by their fleeing from sin and pursuing righteousness,once they have received the one and only Savior,Jesus Christ.They love the true God and their neighbors,without turning to the right or left,and they crucify the flesh and its works.Though great weakness remains in them,they fight against itby the Spiritall the days of their lives,appealing constantlyto the blood, suffering, death, and obedience of the Lord Jesus,in whom they have forgiveness of their sins,through faith in him.As for the false church,it assigns more authority to itself and its ordinancesthan to the Word of God;it does not want to subject itselfto the yoke of Christ;it does not administer the sacramentsas Christ commanded in his Word;it rather adds to them or subtracts from themas it pleases;it bases itself on humans,more than on Jesus Christ;it persecutes thosewho live holy lives according to the Word of Godand who rebuke it for its faults, greed, and idolatry.These two churchesare easy to recognizeand thus to distinguishfrom each other.For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.
