Servants Of Grace

God has not left His people to drift with cultural trends or shifting opinions. He has spoken finally, fully, and sufficiently in His Word. This episode encourages believers to ask what is shaping their thinking and to build their lives faithfully on the truth of God’s Word.

One of the most common ideas in our culture today is that truth is relative. People often say, “What’s true for you may not be true for me,” but can truth actually work that way? In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains why truth is not created by us, shaped by personal preference, or defined by culture. Truth is grounded in God’s unchanging character and revealed in His Word. Jesus says in John 17:17, “Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.” Relativism promises freedom, but it leads to confusion. Scripture gives us a stable, knowable, and life-giving foundation for all of life. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why relativism collapses under its own claims • Why truth is rooted in God’s unchanging character • Why God’s Word is the foundation for truth • How Christians can speak truth with clarity and humility • Why truth is not oppressive, but freeing Main Scripture: John 17:17 Big Idea: Truth is not relative. Truth is grounded in God’s unchanging character and revealed Word.

Everyone has a worldview, whether they realize it or not. The question is whether our worldview is being shaped by God’s Word or by the culture around us. In this episode of Contending for the Word, Dave Jenkins explains why worldview matters for the Christian life and how it shapes the way we think about truth, identity, morality, suffering, sin, obedience, and following Christ. A biblical worldview is not abstract or merely philosophical. It is deeply practical. Scripture gives Christians the true framework for understanding reality: creation, fall, redemption, and consummation. In a confused age filled with competing voices, believers must be renewed by God’s Word and grounded in Christ. Topics Covered: • Why everyone has a worldview • How worldview shapes daily Christian living • The danger of cultural conformity • Creation, fall, redemption, and consummation • Why Christians need Scripture and the local church • How biblical truth produces clarity, stability, and faithfulness Featured Scriptures: Proverbs 4:23 Romans 12:2 Colossians 2:8 Genesis 1:1 Isaiah 5:20 Psalm 119:105 Get Dave’s new book, The War of the Worldviews: https://servantsofgrace.org/product/war-of-worldviews-book/ Listen to more episodes of Contending for the Word: https://servantsofgrace.org/contending-for-the-word-podcast/ Until next time, remain grounded in God’s Word and steady in Christ. 👉 Stay connected with Servants of Grace for more biblical teaching, Christ-centered content, and resources to help you grow in your walk with God: 🔗 Follow us on social media: X (Twitter): https://x.com/servantsofgrace Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/servantsofgrace Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Servantsofgrace YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/servantsofgrace 🌐 Website: https://servantsofgrace.org 📖 Explore more theology, discipleship, and biblical resources at our website.

In this episode of Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, Dave Jenkins reads and reflects on Psalm 146, a psalm that calls God’s people to praise the Lord and place their hope in Him rather than in human leaders, earthly power, or temporary plans. Psalm 146 reminds us that human strength is limited, but the Lord reigns forever. He is the Creator, Sustainer, Helper, and King who cares for the oppressed, feeds the hungry, lifts up the bowed down, watches over the sojourner, and upholds the widow and fatherless. This psalm points us ultimately to Jesus Christ, the eternal King who brings true freedom from sin and death and whose reign will never end. Main Theme: Trusting in the Lord rather than man Key Doctrine: God’s compassion and eternal reign Main Takeaway: Blessed are those who place their hope in the Lord. Memory Verse: Psalm 146:5, “Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God.” Thank you for joining Dave on Reading the Bible Daily with Dave.

What does the New Age mean by being “awakened” or “waking up”? In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Doreen Virtue explains how the New Age concept of awakening is a counterfeit of biblical truth. In New Age spirituality, awakening often means coming to believe in oneness, non-duality, and the false idea that God, Jesus, creation, and humanity are all one. Doreen contrasts this with true biblical awakening: the Holy Spirit opening our eyes to the holiness of God, the depth of our sin, our need for repentance, and salvation through Jesus Christ alone. This episode helps Christians understand the spiritual danger behind New Age language and why biblical truth must define salvation, awakening, and spiritual life. In this episode: • What New Age teachers mean by “awakening” • Why non-duality and oneness contradict biblical Christianity • How New Age awakening counterfeits true conversion • Why Genesis 3 helps us understand this deception • The difference between spiritual deception and salvation in Christ Recommended Scriptures: Genesis 3:1–5 2 Corinthians 4:3–6 Ephesians 2:1–5 Learn more: https://servantsofgrace.org/contending-for-the-word-qa/ 👉 Stay connected with Servants of Grace for more biblical teaching, Christ-centered content, and resources to help you grow in your walk with God: 🔗 Follow us on social media: X (Twitter): https://x.com/servantsofgrace Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/servantsofgrace Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Servantsofgrace YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/servantsofgrace 🌐 Website: https://servantsofgrace.org 📖 Explore more theology, discipleship, and biblical resources at our website.

This acrostic psalm celebrates the greatness, goodness, kingdom, faithfulness, and nearness of the Lord.

In this episode of NAR to Christ, Dawn Hill examines troubling teachings connected to modern deliverance ministry and calls Christians back to the sufficiency of Scripture, the finished work of Christ, and biblical sanctification. This episode addresses claims about Christians having indwelling demons, legal rights, courts of heaven, spiritual frequencies, seers, charging for deliverance, and experience-based spirituality. Dawn also considers why newer Christians and online influencers can be especially vulnerable to unbiblical teaching when personal experiences are treated as authoritative. The greatest deliverance is not found in paid sessions, spiritual formulas, or subjective experiences. True freedom is found in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Topics covered include: • Why Christians must test all spiritual claims by Scripture • The danger of modern deliverance ministry • Why believers should not be told they have indwelling demons • Legal rights, courts of heaven, and unbiblical bondage • Why charging for deliverance is deeply concerning • Biblical sanctification versus blaming demons for sin • The finished work of Christ in Colossians 2 • Why the Word of God is sufficient for life and godliness Learn more about Dawn Hill and NAR to Christ: https://servantsofgrace.org/dawn-hill/ Watch more episodes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5Rgz5Xr7uGF_H1L57um_r2SEotP57bW8 This video first appeared at Dawn's YouTube and is posted here with her permission: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYWXuBSQaQQ 👉 Stay connected with Servants of Grace for more biblical teaching, Christ-centered content, and resources to help you grow in your walk with God: 🔗 Follow us on social media: X (Twitter): https://x.com/servantsofgrace Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/servantsofgrace Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Servantsofgrace YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/servantsofgrace 🌐 Website: https://servantsofgrace.org 📖 Explore more theology, discipleship, and biblical resources at our website.

You may not use the word worldview every day, but you live by one every day. Every decision, belief, opinion, and desire flows from how you see the world. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains why every person has a worldview, why many people never examine it, and why Christians must compare their thinking with the truth of God’s Word. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us that every person is trusting in something. We are either trusting in the Lord or leaning on our own understanding. A biblical worldview begins with humility before God and submission to His unchanging truth. In This Episode • Why every person has a worldview • How unexamined assumptions shape our thinking • Why feelings, culture, and opinion cannot provide a stable foundation • How Proverbs 3:5-6 helps Christians think biblically • Why God’s Word alone gives clarity, truth, and stability For more biblical resources, visit: https://servantsofgrace.org Subscribe to Contending for the Word for more biblical teaching, discernment, and encouragement to stand firm in the truth of God’s Word: https://servantsofgrace.org/contending-for-the-word-qa/ 👉 Stay connected with Servants of Grace for more biblical teaching, Christ-centered content, and resources to help you grow in your walk with God: 🔗 Follow us on social media: X (Twitter): https://x.com/servantsofgrace Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/servantsofgrace Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Servantsofgrace YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/servantsofgrace 🌐 Website: https://servantsofgrace.org 📖 Explore more theology, discipleship, and biblical resources at our website.

In this episode of From New Age to Christ, Doreen Virtue explores the life-giving truth that God is our strength and not our own self-reliance. In a culture that celebrates independence, self-sufficiency, and “doing it all on your own,” Scripture calls believers to something radically different—dependence upon the Lord in every area of life. Drawing from Psalm 27:1, Isaiah 40, and Philippians 4:13, this episode reminds us that human strength is limited, but God’s strength is limitless. Whether facing temptation, anxiety, trials, or spiritual discouragement, believers are invited to bring every burden to the Lord and rely fully on His sustaining grace. If you’ve ever felt exhausted by trying to “hold it all together,” this conversation will encourage you to rest in Christ and trust Him as your true source of strength. Key Themes • The danger of self-reliance and self-sufficiency • Why God alone is our strength in trials • Learning to depend on the Lord in daily life • Prayer as an expression of trust and dependence • God’s sustaining grace in weakness Scripture References Psalm 27:1 • Isaiah 40:29–31 • Philippians 4:13 • 2 Corinthians 12:9–10 • Psalm 46:1 ________________________________________ Discover more from Doreen Virtue on Servants of Grace: https://servantsofgrace.org/doreen-virtue/ 👉 Stay connected with Servants of Grace for more biblical teaching, Christ-centered content, and resources to help you grow in your walk with God: 🔗 Follow us on social media: X (Twitter): https://x.com/servantsofgrace Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/servantsofgrace Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Servantsofgrace YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/servantsofgrace 🌐 Website: https://servantsofgrace.org 📖 Explore more theology, discipleship, and biblical resources at our website.

Every person has a worldview. That worldview shapes how we understand truth, morality, identity, purpose, and the meaning of life. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins begins a month focused on worldview and culture by explaining what a biblical worldview is and why Christians must build their thinking on the Word of God. A biblical worldview means seeing all of life through Scripture. It is rooted in the Bible’s story of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration, and it helps believers think clearly, live faithfully, and resist the empty philosophies of the world.

What happens when we truly see God as He is? In this episode of Equipping You in Grace, Dave Jenkins begins a new series focused on the character of God by examining one of the most foundational truths in all of Scripture: the holiness of God. Drawing from Isaiah 6, Romans 3, and 1 Peter 1, Dave explains why God's holiness shapes how we understand sin, grace, worship, humility, and the Christian life. When we lose sight of God's holiness, we minimize sin, misunderstand grace, and shrink God down to our own expectations. But when we see God rightly, everything comes into focus. Topics covered in this episode: • What it means that God is holy • Why holiness is God's defining attribute • How God's holiness exposes sin • Why grace becomes amazing in light of holiness • How God's love and holiness perfectly unite in Christ • What holiness means for Christian living • Why God's holiness is both confronting and comforting If you've ever wondered why the holiness of God matters for everyday life, this episode will help you see why this truth is essential for understanding the gospel and living faithfully before God.
