Pastor Brad continues in Revelation 13, reminding us of God's faithfulness and encouraging us to persevere when persecution comes.
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy. Jude 24
Chapter 17 Paragraph 1 Those whom God has accepted in the beloved, effectually called and sanctified by his Spirit, and given the precious faith of his elect unto, can neither totally nor finally fall from the state of grace, but shall certainly persevere therein to the end, and be eternally saved, seeing the gifts and callings of God are without repentance, from which source he still begets and nourishes in them faith, repentance, love, joy, hope, and all the graces of the Spirit unto immortality;1 and though many storms and floods arise and beat against them, yet they shall never be able to take them off that foundation and rock which by faith they are fastened upon; notwithstanding, through unbelief and the temptations of Satan, the sensible sight of the light and love of God may for a time be clouded and obscured from them,2 yet he is still the same, and they shall be sure to be kept by the power of God unto salvation, where they shall enjoy their purchased possession, they being engraved upon the palm of his hands, and their names having been written in the book of life from all eternity.3 1 John 10:28,29; Phil. 1:6; 2 Tim. 2:19; 1 John 2:19 2 Ps. 89:31–32; 1 Cor. 11:32 3 Mal. 3:6

Pastor Ed will share Jesus' teaching of Him being the Bread of Life where people following Him decided to leave. I hope we will be like Peter and those who last!
Our perseverance doesn't rest decisively on the reliability of our own resolve. It rests decisively on God's work to keep us trusting him.
When others abandon you, strengthen your heart with God's inexorable oath: “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Reformed Brotherhood | Sound Doctrine, Systematic Theology, and Brotherly Love
Explore the final article of John Knox's Scott's Confession as we discuss the gifts freely given to the church, the true marks of a biblical church, and the role of the church in Christian perseverance. Dive into the importance of confession, absolution, and boldness in proclaiming the gospel. Learn how Knox's theology applies to modern church life and why the church is central to every believer's faith journey. In this episode of the Reformed Brotherhood, Tony and Jesse conclude their series on John Knox's Scott's Confession by exploring the final article, "The Gifts Freely Given to the Church." They discuss the significance of the church as the central place where God's gifts, including the gospel, sacraments, and discipline, are administered to His people. Knox's theology highlights the role of the church in sustaining believers and ensuring their perseverance in faith through the power of the Holy Spirit. The conversation emphasizes the importance of confession and absolution as key elements of worship and spiritual renewal within the community of faith. The brothers also reflect on Knox's prayer at the conclusion of the confession, which calls for the confounding of God's enemies, the boldness of His servants in proclaiming the Word, and the spread of the gospel to all nations. They explore how this prayer encapsulates Knox's vision for the church as a place of purity, worship, and mission. The episode considers how theology must translate into action, shaping the lives of believers and their engagement with the church. Finally, Tony and Jesse encourage listeners to persevere in their faith by remaining actively engaged in the life of the church. They emphasize the importance of daily worship, prayer, and regular participation in the church's ministry as means by which believers are sustained and renewed in their walk with God. The discussion ties Knox's historical theology to the challenges and opportunities faced by contemporary Christians. Key Points: The Church as the Center of God's Gifts: Knox emphasizes that the true church is where the Word is rightly preached, the sacraments are faithfully administered, and discipline is executed according to Scripture. The church is the primary means of grace for believers. Perseverance of the Saints: Knox's theology underscores that true Christians will persevere to the end, not because of their own strength but through the sustaining power of the Holy Spirit, often mediated through the church. Confession and Absolution: The importance of regular rhythms of confession and the assurance of absolution within the church is highlighted as critical for spiritual renewal and growth. Knox's Vision of Purity and Mission: The final prayer in the confession calls for the purity of the gospel, the boldness of the church in proclaiming it, and the spread of God's truth to all nations. The Role of the Church in Christian Life: The episode explores how the church is central to the believer's faith, not just as a place of worship but as a community where believers are encouraged, challenged, and spiritually nourished. Questions for Reflection: How does Knox's theology challenge modern views of individualism in the Christian life? Why are the true marks of the church—preaching, sacraments, and discipline—so important for sustaining believers? In what ways can you actively participate in the life of your church to grow in your faith? How can Knox's final prayer inspire your own prayers for the church and its mission? What role does confession and absolution play in your understanding of worship and renewal?

A new MP3 sermon from Maidenbower Baptist Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: The Final Perseverance of the Saints (sermon 1361) Subtitle: From the heart of Spurgeon Speaker: C. H. Spurgeon Broadcaster: Maidenbower Baptist Church Event: Podcast Date: 9/27/2024 Bible: Job 17:9 Length: 34 min.
This sermon has a slightly different structure to Spurgeon's usual offerings. It has two main headings, one in which he proves the doctrine of the final perseverance of the saint, and one in which he improves it (in the Puritan sense of seeking to obtain profit from it). Spurgeon is typically rooted to his text, but in this more doctrinal sermon he proves his doctrine by turning to various other Scriptures in order to demonstrate and defend the truth of Christian perseverance. He offers us seven arguments in total before hitting us with two simple lessons to learn, one for believers and one for those still outside the kingdom. A convinced Calvinist, Spurgeon is concerned not only to clear the doctrine from the slurs of Arminians but also from the misunderstandings of other Calvinists, seeking to give us a biblically-proportioned grasp on this wonderful truth, “not the licentious idea that a believer may live in sin, but that he cannot and will not do so.” Read the sermon: https://www.mediagratiae.org/resources/the-final-perseverance-of-the-saints Check out the new From the Heart of Spurgeon Book!

One of the perennial objections to the Reformed doctrine of perseverance is the mere existence of the Bible's warning passages where believers are warned of the spiritual dangers of apostasy. In these week's episode, we take a look at Hebrews 6 and 10, two of the most passionate warning passages, and explore what implications they might have for our understanding Reformed theology and for the Christian life more broadly, as we seek to avoid making shipwreck of our faith.
