A weekly podcast of Mercy Street Reformed Church. Mercy Street Reformed is a Denver area church plant of the RCUS (Reformed Church in the United States). On this podcast you will learn Reformed teaching from Pastor Chris Moulton. Initially the podcast will make its way through the Heidelberg Catechism - a faithful summary of the Bible (God's Word).
God's providence not only relates to all things past and present, but to all things future as well. Our knowledge, and certainly our power over the future is very limited and yet, there are times that we still think that it's all up to us to get things to work out right. Because of that we tend to worry. Knowing and resting in God's providence is a great way to fight against the sin of worry and every true child of God should embrace it.
God's providence extends to everything and everybody however, the comfort that it affords is exclusive to those that have the gift of saving faith.
Not only does God's providence uphold and govern inanimate objects and irrational creatures, but it also upholds and governs all of mankind.
God's providence extends to everything - including inanimate objects, animals, angels, and us.
Is it merely by chance that you're reading this, or is it within God's providence that causes you to be doing so?
"God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth" is the subject of this week's episode, and what an important subject it is!
God has revealed Himself to us in His Word as One, and at the same time as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Based on that revelation we have no right or reason to seek to make Him out to be otherwise.
The Bible teaches that there is only One true and living God even though there are many deities that people worship in this world. So, who's right - the world, or God's Word?
The beginning words of the Apostles' Creed are, "I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth..." Even just the first four words of that confession, namely "I believe in God..." are what Pastor Chris Moulton considers in this week's episode.
"I don't need creeds or confessions - just give me the Bible!" That kind of CONFESSION has been used before by many, but in this week's episode Pastor Chris Moulton discuses why that's a foolish statement and why we need the sound biblical teaching which many of the historic creeds and confessions of the church provide.
What is true faith? We often confuse hope with faith but, true faith (even the kind that saves us from our sin) rests upon the foundation of God's word with a sure knowledge and a hearty trust that what is says is true. In this episode Pastor Moulton teaches on the subject of true, saving faith.
