    Gods Purpose Of Grace: Election And Eternal Security Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Dec 14, 2022
     | 2,589 views

    Election is God’s purpose and initiative in man’s salvation. God is the one who acts. God’s initiative is there in revelation of His Word and in redemption. We balance election with human freedom.

     | 10,181 views

    Jesus was sent by the Father and Jesus then sent His disciples. How does Jesus’ calling connect with the church’s calling? How does God use the unique character of a local church to impact its community for the gospel?

    Let’s consider the purpose of Church at the Mission today? Why are we here? What is the mission of Church at the Mission? Our mission, why we are here and what we should be doing, is not something that we come up with ourselves. Who is the head of this church. It’s not me. It’s not Rick Tobias. ...read more

Somewhere along the way he truly discovers the God of his fathers. In many ways our lives are similar to the life of ...read more
