Romans 1:2 Explained: The Gospel Promised BeforehandRomans: The Gospel That Changes EverythingRomans 1:2 teaches that the gospel was promised beforehand through God’s prophets in the Holy Scriptures. The gospel is not a human invention, a first-century novelty, or God’s response to an unexpected problem. It rests on God’s eternal purpose and His promise-keeping faithfulness.In this sermon, Dave Jenkins explains how the Old Testament progressively revealed God’s saving promise, how the prophets pointed forward to Jesus Christ, and why the gospel cannot be separated from the authority and sufficiency of Scripture. The Bible presents one unified message of redemption, and every promise of salvation finds its fulfillment in Christ alone. Listen and Watch The Gospel Was Promised by GodPaul begins Romans by making clear that the gospel did not originate with him. Romans 1:2 says that God “promised beforehand” the gospel. The gospel is not Plan B in the mind of God, nor is it God reacting to a problem He did not foresee. From the beginning, God revealed His purpose to save sinners through Jesus Christ.After sin entered the world, God promised that the seed of the woman would crush the head of the serpent in Genesis 3:15. He promised blessing through Abraham, a King through David, a suffering servant through Isaiah, a new covenant through Jeremiah, and cleansing, renewal, and the Spirit through Ezekiel.The gospel is trustworthy because the God who promised it is trustworthy. God does not lie, forget, fail, or make promises He cannot keep. The gospel stands because God Himself promised it.The Gospel Was Promised BeforehandPaul’s words remind Christians that the gospel has deep roots in redemptive history. Scripture has an apex, goal, and fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Jesus Himself taught that the Scriptures testify about Him, and throughout the Old Testament God progressively revealed the saving work that would ultimately be fulfilled in Christ.Christianity is therefore not detached from the Old Testament. The New Testament does not replace the Old Testament as though God changed directions. Rather, the New Testament announces the fulfillment of what God promised beforehand.There is not one gospel in the Old Testament and another gospel in the New Testament. There is one gospel running like a scarlet thread from Genesis to Revelation, centered upon and fulfilled in Jesus Christ.The Gospel Was Promised Through the ProphetsGod is the source of the gospel promise, and the prophets were His chosen instruments. They did not speak on their own authority but spoke as men carried along by the Holy Spirit.Through them, God announced sin, judgment, mercy, restoration, the coming Messiah, the suffering servant, the righteous King, the new covenant, and the salvation of the nations.The prophets were not pointing ultimately to themselves. They were pointing forward to the saving work of God in Jesus Christ.Reading All of Scripture in Light of ChristChristians should not read the Old Testament merely as a collection of moral examples, disconnected stories, myths, or ancient religious history. Scripture is the unfolding revelation of God’s saving purpose fulfilled in Jesus Christ.This does not mean flattening every passage or forcing every text to say the same thing. Each passage must be interpreted according to its God-given context, genre, covenantal setting, and authorial intent. From there, it can be understood within the larger redemptive purpose of Scripture that reaches its fulfillment in Christ.The Gospel Was Promised in the Holy ScripturesPaul grounds the gospel in the Holy Scriptures. He does not ground it in rumor, speculation, human tradition, emotional experience, cultural feeling, or private spirituality.The Scriptures are holy because they are from God. They are inspired, sufficient, authoritative, true, clear, and trustworthy. The same Scriptures that promised the gospel bear witness to the Christ who fulfills the gospel.Christians therefore cannot separate Christ from the Word of God. The only Christ we can faithfully proclaim is the Christ revealed in Scripture. A Scripture-promised gospel is also a Scripture-governed gospel.The Promised Gospel Displays the Faithfulness of GodRomans 1:2 ultimately points Christians to the promise-keeping faithfulness of God. He promised beforehand, spoke through His prophets, revealed His promise in Scripture, and in the fullness of time sent His Son.If God kept His greatest promise in Christ, His people can trust Him with every other promise He has made. When circumstances are confusing, God is faithful. When prayers seem unanswered, God is faithful. When suffering is heavy, God is faithful. When sin feels great, God’s grace in Christ is greater still.The world changes, cultures shift, feelings rise and fall, and circumstances may confuse us, but the gospel still stands because God has spoken in His holy Word.Jesus Christ Is the Fulfillment of the PromiseJesus is the promised Savior, the promised King, the suffering servant, the seed of the woman, and the Son of God. He lived the righteous life sinners have not lived, died the death sinners deserve, rose from the dead in victory, and reigns as Lord now and forever.The gospel is not about sinners climbing their way toward God through morality, achievement, or religious performance. The gospel is God fulfilling His promise to save sinners through His Son.Trust the gospel. Trust the God who promised it. Trust the Scriptures that reveal it. Trust the Christ who fulfills it. God will always keep His Word.Romans: The Gospel That Changes EverythingContinue studying Paul’s letter to the Romans with Dave Jenkins in the sermon series Romans: The Gospel That Changes Everything.

A Servant of Christ Jesus: The Gospel That Claims Your LifeRomans: The Gospel That Changes Everything | Romans 1:1Romans begins not with Paul’s accomplishments, credentials, education, reputation, or influence. Paul begins with Jesus Christ.“Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God.”Romans 1:1Before Paul explains the gospel, he shows us what the gospel had already done in his life. The gospel had taken a man who once persecuted the church and made him a servant of Christ Jesus. It had taken a man who once opposed Christ and made him an apostle of Christ. It had taken a man who trusted in his own righteousness and set him apart for the gospel of God.The gospel was not merely a message Paul preached. It was the message that had mastered his entire life.Listen or WatchPaul Belongs to Jesus ChristPaul begins by identifying himself as “a servant of Christ Jesus.” The word translated “servant” carries the idea of belonging to another. Paul was not presenting himself as an independent religious thinker, a self-appointed spiritual authority, or a religious free agent. Paul belonged to Jesus Christ.This is especially significant when we remember Paul’s former life. He had opposed Christ, persecuted the church, and sought to destroy those who followed Jesus. But the risen Christ met Paul, saved him, called him, and claimed him.Paul’s identity was no longer found in his religious status, personal zeal, ethnic background, education, or moral record. His identity was found in belonging to Christ.This directly confronts the modern pursuit of self-definition. People are constantly encouraged to define themselves by their desires, achievements, personalities, politics, careers, suffering, successes, failures, sexuality, or personal stories. The Christian, however, does not begin with self-definition. The Christian begins with Jesus Christ.Dear Christian, your deepest identity is not found in what you have done, what has been done to you, what you feel, what you accomplish, what you lose, or what others say about you. Your deepest identity is this: You belong to Jesus Christ.Christ is not a cruel master. He is the Savior who purchased His people with His blood, brought them into His kingdom, and rules them with grace, truth, wisdom, and love. To be saved by Christ is to belong to Christ.Paul Was Called to Be an ApostlePaul continues by saying that he was “called to be an apostle.” Paul did not appoint himself to this office. His apostleship did not arise from personal ambition, charisma, education, or persuasive ability. Paul was called directly by the risen Jesus Christ.An apostle was one sent with authority as an appointed witness and messenger of Christ. Paul therefore did not write Romans as a man merely sharing his private opinions or theological reflections. He wrote as one called by Christ and authorized to deliver apostolic instruction to the church.Paul’s apostleship was unique and foundational. The apostles laid the foundation of the church, with Jesus Christ Himself as the cornerstone. The church does not need new apostles who claim the same authority as Paul, Peter, or John. The church remains under the apostolic Word preserved for us in the sixty-six books of Scripture.This is especially important in light of movements such as the New Apostolic Reformation, where some individuals claim to possess the same kind of apostolic authority found in the New Testament. Paul’s apostleship cannot be separated from his direct calling by the risen Christ, his role as an eyewitness, and his recognition by the other apostles.The foundational apostolic office is not an ongoing office that must be restored in every generation. The foundation has already been laid. Christians today do not need new apostles or new revelation. We need the inspired, inerrant, sufficient, clear, and authoritative Word of God.The authority of Christian ministry does not rest in the personality, office, influence, or reputation of the servant. It rests in Jesus Christ and in the Word He has given.Paul Was Set Apart for the GospelPaul also says that he was “set apart for the gospel of God.” His entire life had been marked off, claimed, and devoted to one message: the good news that comes from God.The gospel is not Paul’s invention. It is not religious philosophy, political ideology, moral advice, cultural therapy, or a program of self-improvement. It is the gospel of God.God is the source of the gospel. God is the author of the gospel. God is the revealer of the gospel. God is the One who accomplishes salvation through the person and sufficient work of His Son.The gospel is God’s message about God’s Son for God’s glory and the salvation of sinners.Because the gospel comes from God, Christians do not have the authority to revise, soften, reshape, or reinvent it. We must receive it with humility, proclaim it with confidence, and remain faithful to what God has revealed in His Word.Sinners cannot save themselves through morality, sincerity, religious activity, personal achievement, or self-effort. Humanity’s deepest problem is not merely brokenness, disappointment, or a lack of purpose. Every person is a sinner by nature and by choice and stands in need of reconciliation with God.The good news is that Jesus Christ lived the righteous life we have not lived. He died the death sinners deserve, bearing the penalty for sin in the place of His people. He rose from the dead in power and reigns as Lord over all.The gospel is not about sinners climbing their way up to God. It is the announcement that God has acted in Jesus Christ to save sinners who cannot save themselves.The Gospel Reorders the Whole LifeIn one verse, Paul tells us who he is, who owns him, who called him, and what he has been set apart to proclaim.Paul is a servant of Christ Jesus. He is called to be an apostle. He is set apart for the gospel of God. His identity, authority, calling, labor, suffering, and mission are all defined by Christ and the gospel.The gospel did not occupy one small part of Paul’s life. It reordered his entire life.This is where Romans 1:1 presses upon every Christian. What defines us? What owns us? What message has captured our hearts? Where are our attention, energy, devotion, affection, and obedience directed?The Christian life is not Jesus added to an otherwise self-directed life. The Christian life is a life lived under the lordship of Jesus Christ. We belong to Him. We are saved by Him. We are called to follow Him. We are sent to bear witness to Him. We are set apart to live for the glory of God.The gospel that saves sinners also claims sinners for the glory of God.Come to Jesus ChristPaul was not always a servant of Jesus Christ. He was once an enemy of Christ, a persecutor of the church, and a man who trusted in his own righteousness. But Jesus Christ saved him, claimed him, called him, and sent him.That is grace, and that same grace is the hope of every sinner.You cannot make yourself acceptable to God through your works. You cannot redefine yourself into salvation. You do not clean yourself up and then come to Christ. You come to Christ because Christ alone saves.Turn from your sin and trust in Jesus Christ alone. Rest in His perfect righteousness, sufficient death, and victorious resurrection. Be reconciled to God through the person and work of Jesus Christ.Dear Christian, remember who you are. You belong to Jesus Christ. You are not your own. You were bought with a price. Your life is not meaningless, and your identity is not up for grabs.Trust the gospel. Submit to God’s Word. Rest in the righteousness of Christ. Proclaim the gospel of God. Live as one who belongs to the Lord.Continue Through the Book of RomansExplore every sermon in Romans: The Gospel That Changes Everything and subscribe to the Servants of Grace YouTube channel for new biblical teaching.Explore the Romans SeriesSubscribe on YouTube
The Gospel Frees Us from Shame and PrideShame tells us that we are unworthy and can never be accepted. Pride tells us that we are sufficient and do not need help. Although these struggles appear to be opposites, both seek identity and worth apart from Jesus Christ.Listen or WatchThe Gospel Confronts Pride and Heals ShameIn this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins explains from Romans 3:22–24 how the gospel humbles human pride while healing the shame of repentant sinners. Every person has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, leaving no room for boasting before Him. Yet sinners are justified freely by God’s grace through the redemption accomplished by Jesus Christ.Shame says, “I am not enough. I am unworthy. I can never be accepted.” Pride says, “I am enough. I do not need help. I can stand on my own strength.” Both struggles direct our attention inward and attempt to establish identity apart from the worthiness and sufficiency of Christ.The gospel points believers away from personal performance and toward Jesus Christ alone. Christians are not accepted by God because they are worthy in themselves. They are accepted because of the perfect righteousness of Christ and His finished work on their behalf.The Grace of Justification“The righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.”Romans 3:22–24Justification is God’s legal declaration that a sinner is righteous before Him. This declaration is not based on human merit, religious effort, morality, or achievement. It rests entirely on the righteousness of Christ credited to believers through faith.The cross tells us that our sin is far worse than we imagined and that God’s grace is far greater than we dared hope. The gospel therefore leaves no room for boasting and no reason for despair.How the Gospel Frees BelieversStop Grounding Your Identity in PerformanceYour identity is not determined by your greatest success or your deepest failure. The Christian’s worth is found in the worthiness and sufficiency of Jesus Christ alone.Confess Sin HonestlyThe gospel enables believers to confess their sin without hiding behind pride or drowning in shame. Christians can walk in repentance because forgiveness and restoration are found in Christ.Rest in the Finished Work of ChristBecause of Jesus, believers are forgiven, accepted, and loved by God. At the cross, Christ bore the guilt and condemnation His people deserved. Through His death and resurrection, He accomplished redemption and reconciliation for them.Episode Highlights Shame and pride both seek identity apart from Jesus Christ. Human sinfulness eliminates every reason for boasting before God. Justification is a gift of God’s grace through Christ alone. The gospel destroys self-righteousness without leaving sinners in despair. Christian identity rests in Christ rather than personal performance. The cross is where both shame and pride are defeated.Scripture ReferencesRomans 3:22–24; Proverbs 15; Ephesians 2:8–9; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Hebrews 12:2Stay Anchored in the WordExplore more episodes of Anchored in the Word and receive faithful biblical teaching that helps Christians remain rooted in Scripture and anchored in Jesus Christ.Explore Anchored in the WordWatch the YouTube Playlist
Why Romans Matters Now: The Gospel That Changes EverythingThe book of Romans gives Christians the gospel clarity they desperately need in a confused age. Romans reveals who God is, exposes the depth of human sin, declares the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ, and explains how sinners are justified by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.Romans is not merely a collection of theological ideas. It is God’s inspired Word, given to humble sinners, strengthen the church, transform believers, and lead God’s people to worship Jesus Christ.Listen or Watch The Gospel of GodRomans begins with the gospel. The Apostle Paul describes himself as a servant of Christ Jesus who was called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God.The gospel is not good advice or a religious improvement plan. It is the good news of what God has accomplished through the life, death, resurrection, and reign of Jesus Christ. The gospel comes from God, centers on the Son of God, and is revealed in the Word of God.The Need of Every SinnerRomans does not flatter humanity. It teaches that Jews and Gentiles, religious and irreligious people, and moral and immoral people are all guilty before a holy God.All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Religious activity, good intentions, cultural approval, moral comparison, and human effort cannot save. Romans closes every mouth so that sinners will look to Jesus Christ alone for salvation.The Righteousness of God in ChristRomans does not leave sinners condemned without hope. It declares that the righteousness of God is received through faith in Jesus Christ.Sinners are justified freely by God’s grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. God remains just while also being the justifier of everyone who has faith in Christ.Justification is God’s gracious act, not our achievement. Christians are not accepted by God because they are righteous in themselves. They are accepted because Jesus Christ is righteous for them and has paid the penalty for their sins.The Transforming Life of the GospelThe gospel that saves sinners also changes sinners. Those who are united to Christ are dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.The Christian life is not self-powered moral improvement. It is life in union with Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans teaches believers about sanctification, adoption, the struggle against sin, life in the Spirit, and the assurance that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.The grace of God does not teach Christians to excuse, minimize, or remain apathetic about sin. Grace enables believers to put sin to death through the Spirit and the means God has provided.The Sovereign Mercy of GodRomans leads Christians into the deep truths of God’s sovereign mercy, His promises, His purposes, election, Israel, the Gentiles, unbelief, and the faithfulness of God.These truths are not given to encourage pride or empty speculation. They are given to produce humility, trust, submission, and worship.“Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God!”Romans 11:33Christians do not come to Romans to stand above the text. They come to sit under the authority of the Word of God.The Fruit of the Gospel in the ChurchRomans teaches that gospel doctrine produces gospel-shaped living. Because of the mercies of God, Christians are called to present their bodies as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to God.The gospel shapes Christian worship, relationships, service, speech, priorities, discernment, conscience, liberty, unity, hospitality, forgiveness, and mission. It creates a people who live together under the lordship of Jesus Christ.Why Romans Matters TodayChristians need Romans because they need the gospel. They need to see the holiness of God, the depth of human sin, the riches of divine grace, the glory of Jesus Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit, the sovereign mercy of God, and the life of the gospel in the church.Romans is not merely a book to master. Romans is God’s Word, and God’s Word is meant to master us.As we begin this journey through Romans, we should come humbly, prayerfully, and expectantly. We should come ready to listen, learn, repent, believe, obey, worship, and see Jesus Christ more clearly.Romans is the gospel that changes everything. By God’s grace, may the Lord use His Word to change us.Explore the Romans Sermon SeriesContinue studying Paul’s letter to the Romans through the Romans: The Gospel That Changes Everything sermon series from Servants of Grace.Explore the Romans SeriesSubscribe on YouTube
The Righteousness of God Revealed in the GospelHosted by Dave JenkinsEpisode SummaryIn this episode of Anchored in the Word with Dave, Dave Jenkins explains Romans 1:16–17 and the righteousness of God revealed in the gospel.The gospel is not helpful advice, moral improvement, or religious self-help. It is the power of God for salvation because it reveals how sinners can be made right with a holy God through Jesus Christ alone.Dave unpacks the meaning of the righteousness of God, justification by faith alone, the importance of Habakkuk 2:4, and why Romans 1:16–17 became so central to the Protestant Reformation. He also explains how this truth helps Christians rest in Christ rather than their own performance.ListenWatchKey Scriptures Romans 1:16–17 Habakkuk 2:4 2 Corinthians 5:21 Philippians 3:9 Galatians 2:16Episode Highlights Why Romans 1:16–17 is central to Paul’s message in Romans What Paul means by “the righteousness of God” How the gospel reveals God’s justice and grace Why sinners cannot achieve righteousness through personal effort How believers are justified by faith alone in Christ alone Why this doctrine became central to the Protestant Reformation How Christians can rest in Christ rather than their own performanceThe Gospel and the Righteousness of ChristRomans 1:16–17 teaches that the gospel is the power of God for salvation because it reveals the righteousness of God. This righteousness refers both to God’s holy character and to the righteousness He provides through Jesus Christ alone.Believers are not justified because of their works, achievements, morality, or self-improvement. They are declared righteous before God because the righteousness of Christ is credited to them through faith. This is the heart of justification by faith alone in Christ alone.Reflection QuestionAre you trusting in your own righteousness, or are you resting completely in the righteousness of Christ?The gospel does not reveal how sinners earn righteousness. It reveals how God provides righteousness through Jesus Christ alone.Subscribe and Watch MoreAnchored in the Word with Dave is a weekly segment of the Servants of Grace podcast, helping Christians stay rooted in Scripture and anchored in Christ.Visit the Anchored in the Word page for more episodes, articles, and biblical resources.Watch the Anchored in the Word playlist on YouTube.
The Psalms: Prayer, Lament, Confession, Trust, and PraiseIn this final episode of Walking Through the Psalms, Dave Jenkins looks back over the whole Book of Psalms and considers what this inspired book teaches God’s people about worship, prayer, lament, confession, trust, hope, and praise.The Psalms are not merely ancient songs. They are the prayer book of God’s people. They teach us to bring the whole of life before the Lord: our joy, sorrow, fear, grief, sin, questions, and praise. Above all, the Psalms lead us to Jesus Christ, the true King, the righteous sufferer, the perfect worshiper, the good Shepherd, and the risen Lord who reigns forever.Episode SummaryThe Book of Psalms reveals the Lord as Creator, King, Shepherd, Judge, Redeemer, Rock, Fortress, Deliverer, and covenant-keeping God. Throughout the Psalms, God teaches His people to worship Him as He has revealed Himself in His Word, not according to human imagination.In this episode, Dave explains how the Psalms teach Christians to pray honestly and faithfully, lament with hope, confess sin and receive mercy, trust the steadfast love of the Lord, and praise God because He alone is worthy. The Psalms do not teach fake spirituality. They teach faith-filled honesty before the God who sees, hears, reigns, cares, and keeps His promises.The Psalms also expose our need for Jesus Christ. We do not pray, worship, trust, confess, or praise as we ought. That is why we need Christ, the perfect worshiper, faithful Son, true King, righteous sufferer, good Shepherd, final refuge, crucified Savior, risen Lord, and reigning King.Listen and WatchKey Scriptures Psalm 1:1–2 Psalm 42:5 Psalm 51:1–4 Psalm 150:6 2 Corinthians 1:20 1 Peter 5:7Episode Highlights The Psalms teach us to worship the God who has revealed Himself in His Word. The Psalms teach us to bring the whole of life before God. The Psalms give words to God’s people when we do not know what to pray. Biblical lament teaches us to grieve honestly while hoping in God faithfully. The Psalms teach us to confess sin and receive mercy. The Psalms steady our hearts on the steadfast love of the Lord. The Psalms lead us to Christ, the true King and righteous sufferer. The Psalms teach us that praise gets the final word for the people of God.Why This MattersEvery part of life belongs before the Lord. The Psalms teach Christians to bring joy, sorrow, sin, fear, hope, and praise before God with reverence and honesty. They remind us that the Lord is near to His people, faithful to His promises, merciful to repentant sinners, and sovereign over all things.Because of Christ, the final word for the people of God will be praise. The Psalms teach us to pray, lament, confess, trust, hope, and praise the Lord until faith becomes sight and the people of God enter into everlasting worship.Continue Studying the PsalmsIf this episode encouraged you, we invite you to continue exploring our full collection of sermons and teaching through the Psalms.

How Christians Grow in Love for God’s WordMany Christians know they should read the Bible, but Scripture can sometimes begin to feel distant, routine, or difficult. Believers may struggle with consistency, distraction, or spiritual dryness and wonder how they can move beyond merely reading the Bible to truly delighting in God’s Word.In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins explains that Scripture is not merely information for the mind but nourishment for the soul. Looking at Psalm 119:97, he considers how love for God’s Word flows from love for God Himself and how biblical meditation helps believers slow down, reflect deeply, and allow Scripture to shape their hearts and minds.Dave also discusses the importance of faithful Bible reading during spiritually dry seasons, the renewing power of God’s Word, and why the goal of reading Scripture is not simply completing a plan but knowing and loving Jesus Christ more deeply.Listen and WatchWhat You’ll Learn Why love for God and love for His Word belong together What biblical meditation is and why it matters How Scripture renews the mind and shapes Christian thinking Why consistent Bible reading matters during dry seasons How believers can grow in delight for God’s truth Why Scripture ultimately points Christians to Jesus ChristKey Scriptures Psalm 119:97 Joshua 1:8 Romans 12:2 2 Timothy 3:16–17Reflection QuestionAre you approaching God’s Word as a duty to complete or as a treasure through which you come to know God more deeply?Stay Anchored in the WordContinue growing in your knowledge of Scripture and your love for Jesus Christ through more episodes of Anchored in the Word.Explore Anchored in the WordWatch the Anchored in the Word YouTube Playlist
Psalm 150: Let Everything That Has Breath Praise the LordWalking Through the PsalmsEpisode SummaryPsalm 150 brings the Book of Psalms to a fitting conclusion: praise. After all the prayers, laments, confessions, cries for help, songs of trust, declarations of hope, and calls to worship, the Psalter ends with praise. The final word is not fear, sorrow, confusion, or grief. The final word is praise.In this episode of Walking Through the Psalms, Dave Jenkins teaches through Psalm 150 and shows how this short, joyful, and reverent psalm calls everyone and everything with breath to praise the Lord. God is worthy of praise in every place, for His mighty deeds, according to His excellent greatness, and with every breath He gives.This message also points us to Jesus Christ, the One who lived the perfect life of worship we have not lived, died in the place of sinners who have used their breath for sin instead of praise, and rose again to restore His people to the purpose for which they were made.Listen and WatchKey Verse“Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Praise the LORD!”Psalm 150:6What You’ll Learn Why Psalm 150 is the fitting conclusion to the Book of Psalms. How the Psalter teaches Christians to bring the whole of life before the Lord. Why worship begins with God, not our preferences or feelings. How God’s mighty deeds give His people endless reasons to praise Him. Why biblical worship should be joyful, reverent, and centered on the glory of God. How every breath is a mercy from God and an invitation to praise Him. How Jesus restores sinners to true worship through His life, death, and resurrection.Episode Highlights Praise the Lord everywhere: God is worthy of praise in His sanctuary, in His mighty heavens, and throughout all creation. Praise the Lord for His mighty deeds: The works of God throughout Scripture find their greatest fulfillment in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Praise the Lord for His excellent greatness: God is worthy of praise not only for what He has done, but for who He is. Praise the Lord with joyful, reverent worship: Psalm 150 calls God’s people away from lifeless worship and man-centered worship. Praise the Lord with every breath: Every breath God gives is a mercy to be used for His glory.Why This MattersPsalm 150 reminds Christians that praise is not rooted in changing circumstances but in the unchanging worthiness of God. The Lord is worthy when life is joyful and when life is heavy. He is worthy when our hearts are full and when our hearts are weary. Because God does not change, His worthiness does not change.The call of Psalm 150 is not simply to try harder to praise the Lord. It is a call to behold the God who is worthy, trust the Savior who restores sinners to worship, and offer our lives to the Lord in praise.Thank You for ListeningThank you for listening to Walking Through the Psalms, a teaching ministry of Servants of Grace.

Romans 7, Sanctification, and the Christian LifeBy Dave JenkinsWhy do Christians still struggle with sin after coming to Christ? Many believers quietly wrestle with this question. They love the Lord, desire holiness, and want to obey God, yet they still battle temptation, discouragement, and remaining weakness.In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins explains what Romans 7 teaches about the ongoing battle with sin in the Christian life. Christians are no longer slaves to sin, but sanctification is still ongoing. Believers fight sin from a place of grace, not condemnation, because Christ has already secured forgiveness, righteousness, and peace with God for His people.Listen and WatchEpisode Highlights Why Christians still battle sin after salvation What Romans 7 teaches about remaining sin The difference between justification and sanctification How Romans 6, 7, and 8 fit together Why the struggle with sin is not proof God has abandoned you How believers can fight sin through the power of the Holy Spirit The hope of Romans 8:1 for discouraged ChristiansKey Scriptures Romans 7:18–19 Romans 8:1 Galatians 5:17 1 John 1:8–9 Philippians 1:6Episode SummaryRomans 7 gives believers one of the clearest explanations of the ongoing struggle with sin. Paul describes the tension Christians experience between the new desires created by the Spirit and the remaining presence of sin in the flesh.The Christian life involves real spiritual conflict. Believers have been justified completely in Christ, yet sanctification continues until they go to be with the Lord. This means Christians experience both genuine love for God and an ongoing battle against sinful desires.The good news is that the believer’s hope is not found in personal perfection, but in Jesus Christ alone. Romans 8:1 reminds Christians, “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Because of Christ, believers fight sin from grace, not condemnation.Subscribe to Anchored in the WordAnchored in the Word is a weekly segment of the Servants of Grace podcast designed to help Christians stay rooted in Scripture, grow in sound doctrine, and apply God’s Word to everyday life.Visit the Anchored in the Word page to find more episodes, or watch the full playlist on the Servants of Grace YouTube channel.

How the Holy Spirit Leads Through Scripture Not FeelingsDave Jenkins | Anchored in the Word | Servants of GraceShow SummaryHow does the Holy Spirit lead believers according to the Word of God and not according to subjective impressions or feelings?In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins answers an important question about spiritual guidance, discernment, and sanctification. In a time when many people define the Spirit’s leading by personal impressions, inner peace, or emotional certainty, Scripture gives us a far more reliable foundation.This episode explains that the Holy Spirit never leads believers away from the truth He inspired. Instead, He leads God’s people through the Word of God, producing holiness, obedience, discernment, and Christlike character.Audio PlayerVideo PlayerEpisode Highlights The Spirit of God always leads through the Word of God The Spirit never contradicts Scripture Spiritual maturity is seen in holiness and obedience, not dramatic experiences Feelings are real, but they are not the final authority God’s will is revealed primarily in His Word Believers must test teaching carefully and reject partial truth and subtle deceptionKey Scriptures John 16:13 2 Timothy 3:16–17 Hebrews 4:12 2 Peter 3:18 Luke 24:27 Luke 24:45 Galatians 5:22–23 Romans 8:13–14 Jeremiah 17:9 1 Thessalonians 4:3 John 17:17 Acts 17:11 1 Thessalonians 2:13 1 Thessalonians 5:21 Psalm 119:105Full ArticleMany Christians today speak about spiritual guidance in deeply personal terms. They say things like, “The Spirit told me,” “I felt led,” or “God gave me peace about this.” While those phrases may sound sincere, the real issue is not whether they sound spiritual, but whether they reflect what Scripture actually teaches about the leading of the Holy Spirit.The Bible presents the Spirit’s leading in a very different way than much of modern evangelical language does. The Holy Spirit does not lead believers away from the Word of God, beyond the Word of God, or in contradiction to the Word of God. He leads believers through the Word He inspired. That is where discernment begins. That is where spiritual maturity grows. That is where true assurance and stability are found.Jesus says in John 16:13, “When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth.” That statement matters greatly. The Spirit is the Spirit of truth. He does not guide believers into confusion, contradiction, or self-defined spirituality. He guides them into truth. And since Scripture is the truth that He inspired, His ministry is never detached from the written Word of God.That is why 2 Timothy 3:16–17 is so important. All Scripture is breathed out by God and is sufficient for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness. The same Spirit who inspired the Word now uses the Word to shape the people of God. He leads us not by bypassing Scripture, but by bringing us deeper into it. He uses the Word to expose sin, renew the mind, strengthen faith, and train believers in obedience.This means that true spiritual guidance is not mainly about receiving private impressions. It is about being formed by divine revelation. The Spirit works through the means God has appointed. He illuminates the text, helps us understand its meaning, presses its truth upon our conscience, and empowers us to obey it. He does not lead us into self-trust, but into submission to Christ through His Word.Luke 24 helps us see this clearly. Jesus opened the minds of His disciples to understand the Scriptures, and He taught them that the whole Bible points to Him. The Spirit’s ministry today follows that same Christ-centered pattern. He helps believers understand the Bible rightly, see how it testifies to Christ, and apply it faithfully in daily life. Spiritual growth is not mystical independence from the Bible. It is deeper dependence on the truth of God revealed in Scripture.That is also why the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22–23 matters so much. The Spirit’s leading is seen not mainly in dramatic claims, but in transformed character. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control are evidences of His work. Romans 8:13–14 adds that those who are led by the Spirit are those who, by the Spirit, put sin to death. In other words, the Spirit leads believers toward holiness, not toward self-centered certainty.This is where feelings must be put in their proper place. Feelings are real. Scripture speaks honestly about them, especially in the Psalms. But feelings are not infallible. Jeremiah 17:9 reminds us that the heart is deceitful. That means emotions, impressions, and internal sensations cannot serve as the final authority for the Christian life. They must be tested by the Word of God.Many spiritual errors begin here. People redefine obedience by their emotions. They confuse inner peace with divine approval. They assume that sincerity is the same thing as truth. But biblical peace does not come from personal preference. It comes from walking in the truth. God’s will is revealed primarily in Scripture, and His great will for His people is their sanctification. As John 17:17 says, “Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.” God grows His people through His truth.So how do believers discern whether something is truly the Spirit’s leading? A few questions help. Does it align with Scripture? Does it promote holiness? Does wise Christian counsel affirm it? Does it produce the fruit of the Spirit? If something contradicts the Bible, it is not from the Spirit. It does not matter how intense the feeling is, how persuasive the teacher sounds, or how attractive the message appears. The Spirit never contradicts Scripture.This is especially important in a time of subtle deception. Some teachers use Bible words but do not explain the Bible in context. Others give partial truth while avoiding the full meaning of a passage. Some appeal constantly to emotion, experience, and personal story while minimizing careful biblical interpretation. These are serious warning signs. Acts 17:11 commends the Bereans because they searched the Scriptures to test what they were hearing. 1 Thessalonians 5:21 commands believers to test everything and hold fast to what is good.That means faithful teaching should help Christians think biblically, read carefully, and grow in discernment. If a teacher encourages you to focus more on your feelings than on God’s Word, more on your experience than on God’s truth, or more on private impressions than on the meaning of Scripture, that teacher is not helping you. The Spirit of God always leads deeper into the truth of God’s Word.There is actually great comfort in this. Many Christians worry that they are somehow missing God’s voice. But the good news is that God has already spoken clearly, sufficiently, and finally in His Word. You do not need secret guidance. You need faithful obedience. The Spirit’s work is often quiet, steady, and ordinary. He grows your love for Scripture. He convicts you of sin. He deepens your trust in Christ. He strengthens perseverance in the daily responsibilities of life. That is real spiritual maturity.Psalm 119:105 says, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” That is how God leads His people. He does it by His truth. He does it through His Word. He does it by His Spirit. And because the Spirit never contradicts Scripture, believers can walk with confidence, clarity, and discernment as they stay anchored in Christ.Takeaways and Reflection Questions Am I looking to Scripture first when I need wisdom and direction? Have I confused strong feelings with the leading of God? Is my understanding of spiritual maturity shaped by holiness and obedience or by dramatic experiences? Do I test what I hear from teachers and preachers by the context and meaning of Scripture? How is the Spirit using the Word of God to grow me in Christlikeness today?Call to ActionIf this episode encouraged you, please share it with someone who wants to grow in biblical discernment and spiritual maturity.You can subscribe to the Servants of Grace Podcast wherever podcasts are available, YouTube, and you can find more biblical resources at Servants of Grace.Stay rooted in the Word of God and anchored in Christ.

True vs Counterfeit Spirituality: Biblical Discernment in a Confused AgeAuthor: Dave JenkinsSeries: Anchored in the WordDate: May 20, 2026Show SummaryIn this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins addresses a critical question for Christians today: What is the difference between true spirituality and counterfeit spirituality?In a culture that constantly speaks about being “spiritual,” Scripture calls believers to exercise discernment. Not all spirituality comes from God. True spirituality is rooted in God’s Word, centered on Christ, and produces lasting spiritual fruit.Drawing from key biblical passages, this episode explains how Christians can recognize the difference and remain grounded in the truth.Audio PlayerVideo PlayerKey Scriptures John 17:17 Colossians 2:8 John 16:14 Galatians 5:22–23Episode Highlights True spirituality begins with God’s Word, not human experience Counterfeit spirituality centers on the self Christ is the center of all true spiritual growth Spiritual language alone does not guarantee truth True spirituality produces the fruit of the Spirit Discernment protects believers from deceptionFull Episode OverviewTrue spirituality is not about techniques, emotional experiences, or self-discovery. It begins with God revealing Himself through His Word and is grounded in the gospel of Jesus Christ.Counterfeit spirituality, by contrast, shifts the focus toward personal experience, feelings, and self-fulfillment. While it may sound appealing and even use Christian language, it ultimately leads people away from Christ when it is not rooted in Scripture.The Bible calls believers to examine all things carefully. True spirituality produces humility, repentance, obedience, and Christ-centered worship. It results in transformed lives, not merely spiritual experiences.In a confused cultural moment, Christians must remain anchored in the Word of God, growing in discernment and walking faithfully with Christ.Call to ActionIf this episode encouraged you, share it with others and subscribe to Anchored in the Word for weekly biblical teaching or at our YouTube.
Psalm 142 — When No One Cares, God Is Your RefugeBy Dave JenkinsWalking Through the Psalms | Servants of Grace PodcastShow SummaryThere are seasons in the Christian life when believers feel unseen, forgotten, and alone. Psalm 142 speaks directly into those moments with honesty, hope, and gospel comfort.In this episode of Walking Through the Psalms, Dave Jenkins walks through Psalm 142 and shows how David cried out to the Lord from a place of isolation and distress.

How Christians Recognize False Teaching EarlyAuthor: Dave JenkinsShow: Anchored in the Word with Dave JenkinsDate: May 14, 2026Show SummaryFalse teaching rarely begins with obvious denials of the truth. More often, it starts with subtle distortions that gradually move people away from the authority of God’s Word.In this episode of Anchored in the Word with Dave Jenkins, Dave explains how Christians can recognize false teaching before it spreads, remain grounded in Scripture, and grow in biblical discernment.Drawing from Matthew 7:15, Acts 20:28–31, Acts 17:11, 1 Thessalonians 5:21, 2 Timothy 4:3, and Hebrews 5:14, this episode shows why false teaching is a biblical reality, how it often begins with small shifts, and how believers can guard themselves through sound doctrine, spiritual maturity, and life in the local church. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}Listen to the EpisodeWatch the EpisodeKey ScripturesMatthew 7:15Acts 20:28–31Acts 17:111 Thessalonians 5:212 Timothy 4:3Hebrews 5:14Episode HighlightsWhy false teaching is a biblical realityHow false teaching often begins with subtle doctrinal shiftsWhy Scripture alone is the final authority for faith and practiceWarning signs Christians should recognize earlyHow false teaching spreads when discernment is neglectedHow believers can guard themselves through sound doctrine and local church lifeWhy biblical discernment is rooted in love for Christ and His peopleFull ArticleHow can Christians recognize false teaching before it spreads?That is not only an important question. It is a necessary one for every Christian and every church today.Throughout church history, false teaching has never announced itself clearly. It rarely begins with open rejection of the gospel. Instead, it often begins subtly, with small distortions that slowly move people away from biblical truth. Scripture does not call believers merely to respond to error after it has done damage. It calls us to recognize it early and remain anchored in Christ through His Word. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}False Teaching Is a Biblical RealityThe New Testament repeatedly warns believers about false teachers. Jesus warned in Matthew 7:15 that false prophets come in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. Paul warned the Ephesian elders in Acts 20 that false teachers would arise even from among God’s people. Peter addressed deception directly in his letters, showing that this danger is not rare or unexpected.False teaching is part of life in a fallen world. Christians should not be surprised by it. We should be prepared for it. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}False Teaching Often Begins with Small ShiftsError rarely starts with outright heresy. It often begins with smaller shifts that appear harmless at first. A teacher may begin by adding another authority alongside the Word of God. Biblical terms may be redefined. Experience may be elevated over truth. Spiritual power may be promised without repentance. Personal revelation may begin to rival the authority of Scripture.These changes can seem small in the moment, but over time they reshape both doctrine and practice. That is why discernment matters so much. Christians need to be grounded in the Bible, shaped by the truth, and alert to what subtly pulls people away from Christ. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}Scripture Alone Is the Primary TestThe first and most important question Christians must ask is simple: Does this teaching align with the Word of God?Not partial Scripture. Not isolated verses. Not emotional impressions. The standard is the whole counsel of God. Acts 17:11 praises the Bereans because they examined the Scriptures daily to test what they heard. Biblical discernment always returns to God’s Word as the final authority for faith and practice.Christians must test everything and hold fast to what is good. Discernment does not move away from the Bible. It goes back to it again and again, asking what God has actually said and what His Word actually means. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}Warning Signs Christians Should Watch ForScripture teaches believers to watch for patterns.One warning sign is when authority begins to shift away from the Word of God and personal visions, prophecies, or impressions are treated as equal to Scripture. Another warning sign is when Christ becomes secondary and teaching focuses more on human potential, success, or influence than on the saving work of Jesus.Repentance also disappears in false teaching. The gospel calls sinners to repentance and faith, but false teaching often replaces repentance with affirmation. Emotional manipulation can also overtake biblical truth when feelings become the measure of what is real instead of Scripture regulating how we think, live, and respond.Another serious warning sign is the rejection of accountability. False teachers resist correction and avoid biblical oversight. Yet Jesus said that we recognize teachers by their fruit, not merely by their charisma. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}Why False Teaching Spreads So QuicklyFalse teaching spreads because it often promises what sinful hearts naturally want. It offers certainty without submission to the Word of God. It offers power without holiness, blessing without suffering, and authority without accountability.Paul warned in 2 Timothy 4:3 that people gather teachers who tell them what they want to hear. That is why discernment requires humility, not just knowledge. Christians must be willing to submit their desires, assumptions, and preferences to the truth of Scripture. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}How Christians Can Guard ThemselvesScripture gives practical help for guarding against false teaching.Know sound doctrine so truth becomes more recognizable.Stay rooted in a faithful local church where there is biblical shepherding and accountability.Test teaching patiently instead of assuming that popularity equals faithfulness.Grow in spiritual maturity, since mature believers have trained discernment.Prioritize Christ above personalities, remembering that faith is anchored in Him, not in human leaders.God protects His people through His Word, through faithful shepherds, and through the life of the local church. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}The Goal of DiscernmentDiscernment is not about suspicion for its own sake. It is not about controversy, pride, or constant criticism. Biblical discernment is about love.It is love for Christ, love for His truth, love for His church, and love for people who might otherwise be led astray. Discernment protects the gospel and helps keep people anchored in Christ as He is revealed in Scripture.Biblical discernment is not cynicism. It is judging teaching by the truth of God’s Word, speaking the truth in love, and exposing error so that the gospel remains clear. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}Takeaways and Reflection QuestionsAre you testing what you hear by the whole counsel of God?Do you recognize how false teaching often begins with small shifts rather than obvious denials?Are you rooted in a faithful local church where biblical accountability is present?Are you growing in discernment through sound doctrine and spiritual maturity?Do you see discernment as an act of love for Christ and His people?Related ResourcesServants of GraceMore podcast episodes at Servants of GraceCall to ActionIf this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend, subscribe to Anchored in the Word with Dave Jenkins, YouTube, and visit Servants of Grace for more biblical teaching that helps you stay rooted in the Word of God and anchored in Christ.

Biblical Discernment in a Confused CultureBy Dave Jenkins | Anchored in the Word | Servants of GraceShow SummaryWe live in a time of overwhelming information, competing voices, and cultural confusion. Every day, people are told what truth is, who they are, how they should live, and what they should believe. In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins answers an increasingly urgent question: how can Christians discern between biblical truth and cultural lies?Drawing from passages such as 1 Thessalonians 5:21, Hebrews 4:12, 2 Corinthians 11:14, Matthew 7:16, Hebrews 5:14, and James 1:5, Dave explains why discernment matters, why the Word of God is the foundation of discernment, how cultural lies often appear, and how Christians can grow in spiritual maturity through daily obedience to God’s truth.Biblical discernment is not rooted in suspicion, harshness, or personal preference. It is grounded in the Word of God, shaped by sound doctrine, strengthened in the local church, and practiced through faithful Christian living. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}Audio PlayerVideo PlayerKey Scriptures1 Thessalonians 5:21Hebrews 4:122 Corinthians 11:14Matthew 7:16Hebrews 5:14James 1:5Episode HighlightsWhy discernment is not optional for the ChristianWhy the Word of God is the foundation of discernmentHow cultural lies often disguise themselvesBiblical questions Christians should ask when evaluating ideas and teachingWhy discernment requires spiritual maturityCommon mistakes Christians make about discernmentPractical ways to grow in discernmentFull ArticleHow do Christians discern between biblical truth and cultural lies?That question matters because we are living in a time of overwhelming information and constant confusion. Every day, believers are confronted with competing voices telling them what truth is, who they are, how they should live, and what they should believe. Some of these voices sound compassionate. Some sound spiritual. Some even borrow Christian language. But the issue is not whether something sounds good. The issue is whether it is true according to the Word of God. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}Discernment is not optional for the Christian. Scripture commands believers to test everything and hold fast to what is good. Discernment protects our faith, guards the church, and helps us walk wisely in a confused world. Without discernment, believers drift. With discernment, believers grow in stability and maturity. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}True discernment begins with the Word of God. It does not begin with personal opinion, cultural trends, or individual preference. Hebrews 4:12 reminds us that the Word of God is living and active and able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart. God’s Word is the measuring standard for all true and biblical discernment. If we do not know the Word of God, we will not recognize error when it appears. Discernment is not first about spotting lies. It is about knowing the truth revealed in Scripture. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}Cultural lies rarely announce themselves openly. More often they arrive disguised as compassion without truth, spirituality without repentance, identity without creation, freedom without holiness, and love without obedience. Scripture warns that even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Error often sounds appealing because it mixes truth with distortion. That is why Christians must know the truth well and be grounded in it. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}Biblical discernment asks biblical questions. Does this teaching align with the Word of God? Does it exalt Christ or self? Does it call for repentance or affirm sin? Does it produce spiritual fruit? These are not minor questions. They help believers test teaching, evaluate ideas, and recognize whether something reflects the truth of God or the spirit of the age. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}Discernment also requires spiritual maturity. Hebrews 5:14 teaches that mature believers have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice. That means discernment grows through regular Scripture reading, faithful preaching, prayer, life in the local church, and the daily application of truth to the heart and life. Discernment is a skill shaped by obedience to God. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}At the same time, Christians need to avoid common mistakes about discernment. Some assume discernment means being cynical, harsh, suspicious, or argumentative. But biblical discernment is not about winning debates. It is about protecting souls with the truth of God’s Word. It is humble, careful, loving, and grounded in truth. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}So how can Christians grow in discernment? Stay rooted in the Word of God daily. Learn sound doctrine. Remain connected to a healthy local church. Pray for wisdom. Test ideas patiently. Truth becomes familiar through repetition, and theology strengthens spiritual instincts. God has not left His people without guidance. Believers have the Word of God, the Spirit of God, and the people of God. Truth is not hidden from those who seek the Lord. As Christians anchor their minds and hearts in God’s Word, discernment grows, stability deepens, and faithfulness becomes more evident in daily life. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}TakeawaysDiscernment is a biblical command, not an optional skill.The Word of God is the standard for testing every teaching and idea.Cultural lies often disguise themselves in appealing language.Spiritual maturity strengthens discernment through constant practice.Christians grow in discernment through Scripture, doctrine, prayer, and the local church.Call to ActionSubscribe to Servants of Grace wherever you listen to podcasts, and visit servantsofgrace.org for more trusted biblical resources.Stay rooted in the Word of God and anchored in Christ.For more from Anchored in the Word please visit our page at Servants of Grace or at our YouTube.

Why Confession and Repentance Are Essential for Christian GrowthAuthor: Dave JenkinsShow: Anchored in the Word with Dave JenkinsDate: April 30, 2026Show SummaryWhy are confession and repentance essential for Christian growth? In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins explains why repentance is not merely the beginning of the Christian life, but its ongoing rhythm. Drawing from passages such as 1 John 1:9, Mark 1:15, Psalm 32, Romans 8:13, and James 5:16, Dave shows how confession restores fellowship with God, repentance produces spiritual fruit, and the grace of God leads believers into deeper holiness, joy, and assurance in Christ.Audio PlayerVideo PlayerKey Scriptures1 John 1:9Mark 1:15Revelation 2–3Matthew 3:8Psalm 32Romans 8:13Ezekiel 36:26–27Hebrews 12:6James 5:16Acts 11:18Romans 2:4Episode HighlightsRepentance is the ongoing rhythm of the Christian lifeConfession restores fellowship with GodRepentance is more than simply saying “I’m sorry”Unchecked sin hardens the heart and hinders communion with GodRepentance produces humility, joy, and spiritual clarityThe Holy Spirit empowers believers to put sin to deathRepentance and assurance go togetherConfession within Christian community helps strengthen believersFull ArticleEvery Christian desires to grow. Every believer wants to mature in Christ, to walk more faithfully with the Lord, and to know deeper fellowship with Him. But the Word of God is crystal clear: there is no spiritual growth without repentance, and there is no close fellowship with God without confession of sin.Repentance is not something we do only once when we first come to Christ. It is the ongoing rhythm of the Christian life. Martin Luther famously said that the entire Christian life is one of repentance, and John Calvin likewise emphasized that repentance is not merely the start of the Christian life, but the Christian life itself. Scripture confirms this truth. In 1 John 1:9, confessing sin is taught as a continual practice. In Mark 1:15, Jesus begins His ministry by calling people to repent and believe the gospel. In Revelation 2 and 3, the risen Christ calls entire churches to repentance. Repentance is not optional. It is essential.Confession restores fellowship with God. When a Christian sins, his union with Christ is not broken, but his fellowship with God is hindered. Our security in Christ remains sure because it rests on the finished work of Christ, but our communion with the Lord can be interrupted by unconfessed sin. This is why confession matters so deeply. First John 1:9 tells us that God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Confession is not informing God of something He does not know. It is agreeing with God about what He already knows and sees.Biblical repentance is more than saying, “I’m sorry.” Repentance involves acknowledging sin honestly, without excuses or blame-shifting. It means turning away from sin with a deliberate break from it, and turning toward Christ in faith. Repentance is not merely stopping sinful behavior; it is returning to the Lord. Matthew 3:8 makes clear that repentance bears fruit. It produces change—not perfection, but real direction toward God.Christians must practice continual repentance because sin blinds and hardens the heart. We do not always see our sin clearly until Scripture, the Holy Spirit, or faithful believers bring it into the light. Left unchecked, sin becomes increasingly comfortable. We begin to treat it lightly, even respectably, instead of seeing it as the rebellion against God that it truly is. Repentance breaks that pattern. It humbles us before the Lord and reminds us daily of our need for the grace of God in Christ.Repentance also leads to joy. Psalm 32 shows that unconfessed sin crushes the soul, but forgiveness restores gladness and peace. Repentance is not the enemy of joy; it is the pathway to it. The believer who walks in repentance is not walking in despair but in the freedom of grace.This repentance is empowered by the Holy Spirit. Biblical repentance is not self-improvement or moral reform. Ezekiel 36:26–27 tells us that God gives a new heart and causes His people to walk in His statutes. Romans 8:13 teaches that by the Spirit believers put sin to death. We repent because God is at work in us, giving us grace to turn from sin and walk in obedience.Repentance and assurance also belong together. Many Christians struggle with assurance not because they are outside of Christ, but because they are not walking in the light of repentance. Hebrews teaches that the Lord disciplines those whom He loves. His discipline is not cruel or distant. It is fatherly, loving, and purposeful. God disciplines His children because He cares for them and desires restored communion with them. Repentance brings renewed clarity, peace, and confidence in Christ.Confession is also important within Christian community. While private confession before God is essential, James 5:16 teaches that believers are also to confess their sins to one another. This is not about public humiliation, but about accountability, prayer, help, and restoration. God often uses mature believers and faithful pastors to help us see our sin clearly and walk in repentance more fully.At the heart of all of this is the gospel. Repentance is not punishment. It is grace. Acts 11:18 calls repentance a gift. Romans 2:4 says that God’s kindness leads us to repentance. The Lord does not call His children to repentance to crush them, but to restore them. In Christ, repentance is not a burden to dread but a gift to receive. It is God’s gracious invitation away from sin and into renewed fellowship, peace, holiness, and joy.Christians do not outgrow repentance. They grow through it. The more we walk honestly before God, confessing our sin and turning afresh to Christ, the more we grow in humility, assurance, and joy. Repentance is not a sign that grace has failed. It is one of the clearest evidences that grace is at work.Takeaways / Reflection QuestionsDo you view repentance as a burden, or as a gracious gift from God?Are there sins you have been minimizing instead of confessing honestly before the Lord?How does 1 John 1:9 encourage you to walk in daily confession?In what ways does repentance restore joy and fellowship with God?Who are the mature believers or pastors in your life who can help strengthen you in repentance and accountability?Related ResourcesAnchored in the Word ArchiveAnchored in the Word YouTubeCall to ActionThank you for listening to this episode of Anchored in the Word with Dave Jenkins.

How Christians Grow in Assurance of SalvationHost: Dave JenkinsShow: Anchored in the Word (Servants of Grace)Topic: How can I grow in assurance of salvation?Show SummaryMany Christians struggle with assurance of salvation. Doubt can creep in through suffering, discouragement, lingering sin, or seasons when emotions feel heavy. Some believers fear they have sinned too much, while others wonder whether their faith is real.But the Word of God speaks with clarity, tenderness, and strength about assurance. In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins explains how believers grow in assurance by trusting God’s promises, resting in Christ’s finished work, relying on the Holy Spirit’s testimony, practicing the ordinary means of grace, examining their lives biblically, and persevering in faith.Christians grow in assurance of salvation by trusting God’s promises, resting in Christ’s finished work, relying on the Holy Spirit, using the means of grace, examining their lives biblically, and persevering in faith.Audio PlayerVideo PlayerKey Scriptures John 10:28–29 Romans 8:38–39 Philippians 1:6 Hebrews 10:14 Romans 8:16 Galatians 5:22–23 2 Corinthians 13:5Episode Notes1. Assurance Begins with the Promises of GodYour assurance does not begin with your performance. It begins with God’s character and God’s Word. Jesus promises that His people are secure in His hand. John 10:28–29 — No one can snatch Christ’s sheep from His hand. Romans 8:38–39 — Nothing can separate believers from the love of God in Christ. Philippians 1:6 — God will complete the work He began in His people.Christians grow in assurance by trusting what God has said, not by trusting how they feel or how well they think they are doing.2. Assurance Rests in the Finished Work of ChristAssurance is not built on our obedience, consistency, or spiritual performance. It is built on Christ—His obedience, His righteousness, and His finished work on the cross. Hebrews 10:14 — By a single offering, Christ has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.The basis of your salvation is Christ Himself, and the basis of your assurance is also Christ Himself.3. Assurance Strengthens Through the Holy Spirit’s TestimonyThe Holy Spirit strengthens assurance in two key ways: through His internal witness and through the fruit He produces in the believer’s life. Romans 8:16 — The Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. Galatians 5:22–23 — The Spirit produces spiritual fruit in believers.Fruit does not save us, but it does confirm that God is at work in us.4. Assurance Grows Through the Means of GraceThe ordinary means of grace are not glamorous, but they are powerful. God uses these means to provide stability and growth. God’s Word — The Spirit uses Scripture to strengthen faith. Prayer — Communion with God strengthens confidence in Him. The Local Church — Hearing the gospel preached and living in community shapes assurance. The Lord’s Supper — A visible reminder of Christ’s finished work.5. Assurance Grows as We Examine Ourselves BiblicallyScripture calls believers to examine themselves—not to spiral into fear, but to confirm genuine faith. 2 Corinthians 13:5 — Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith.Helpful questions include: Do I trust in Christ alone for salvation? Do I hate my sin and desire to grow? Is there evidence of the Spirit’s work in my life? Am I walking imperfectly and yet genuinely with Christ?This is not self-condemnation. It is gospel-shaped reflection.6. Assurance Deepens as We Persevere in the LordAssurance grows over time. As we walk with Christ through years of trusting, repenting, praying, worshiping, and obeying, a deeper confidence forms: Christ is keeping me, and He will keep me to the end.What Robs Christians of Assurance of Salvation?Assurance does not vanish because God changes. It weakens when we stop looking to the Lord. Unconfessed sin Neglect of God’s Word Isolation from the local church Listening to feelings over Scripture Legalism or performance-based ChristianityConclusionAt the heart of assurance is this:You are saved by Christ.You are kept by Christ.You will be glorified by Christ.Your salvation is secure not because your grip is strong, but because His grip on you is unbreakable.Next EpisodeNext Thursday, we will talk about why confession and repentance are essential for Christian growth and how this builds on what we have discussed about assurance and sanctification.Call to ActionAnchored in the Word is a weekly segment of the Servants of Grace podcast.

s forgiveness by faith, walking in repentance, and resting in their identity in Christ. Scripture teaches that guilt leads to restoration, while shame is answered by the cleansing, acceptance, and new identity believers have in Jesus.This teaching builds on the biblical foundation of repentance, forgiveness, and identity in Christ found throughout Scripture.Audio PlayerVideo PlayerKey Scriptures Psalm 32:5 1 John 1:9 Psalm 103:12 Romans 8:1 Romans 8:33 2 Corinthians 5:17 Hebrews 9:14 Ephesians 1:5–6Episode Highlights The difference between guilt and shame Why guilt is meant to lead us to confession and restoration Receiving God’s forgiveness by faith Walking in repentance and renewed obedience How identity in Christ answers shame How the blood of Christ cleanses the conscience Why shame grows in secrecy and dies in the light How the cross answers both guilt and shameFull ArticleGuilt and Shame: What’s the Difference?Every Christian knows what guilt feels like. Many also wrestle with shame—the sense of unworthiness that can linger long after sin is confessed. But the Word of God speaks clearly to both. Guilt says, “I did something wrong.” Shame says, “There is something wrong with me.” Both are results of the fall, but they function differently. And Scripture addresses both—not with self-esteem or self-help, but with the gospel.The Word of God Speaks to BothPsalm 32:5 says, “I acknowledged my sin to you… and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.” Romans 8:1 says, “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Guilt has an answer. Shame has an answer. And both answers are found in the sufficiency of Christ revealed in the Word of God.How Christians Deal with Guilt1) Honest confessionBiblical guilt is meant to lead us to confession and restoration. Not excuses. Not minimizing. Not blame-shifting. 1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us.” Confess sin—real sin—not hidden sin.2) Receive God’s forgiveness by faithSome believers confess their sin but then hold onto guilt as if Christ’s work was insufficient—replaying it in their hearts and minds again and again. But Scripture says in Psalm 103:12, “As far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.” When God forgives, He removes our sin completely.3) Walk in repentanceForgiveness isn’t the end. Repentance is a new direction—empowered by the grace of God. Guilt is dealt with through confession, forgiveness, and renewed obedience.How Christians Deal with ShameShame is often more stubborn. It isn’t just about what you did, but about who you think you are. But Scripture speaks a better word.1) Shame is answered by identity in ChristYour failures do not define you. Christ does. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.”2) Shame is answered by Christ’s cleansingNot only are you forgiven—you are cleansed. Hebrews 9:14 teaches that the blood of Christ purifies our conscience. Shame says, “You’re dirty.” Christ says, “You’re washed.”3) Shame is answered by God’s acceptanceShame whispers that you’re unwanted. But Scripture says you are adopted, loved, and known. Ephesians 1:5–6 tells us we are adopted to the praise of God’s glorious grace.4) Shame is answered by communityShame grows in secrecy, but it dies in the light of Christ and in fellowship with his people. God never designed you to fight shame alone.How the Gospel Frees You from BothThe enemy loves to weaponize guilt and shame. He wants you to believe your sin defines you—that you can never be free, that God is disappointed in you, that you’re unlovable, and that you should hide. But Scripture says in Romans 8:33, “Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect?” If you are a Christian, Christ is your advocate—not your accuser.The cross answers guilt. The cross answers shame. Guilt is forgiven. Shame is covered. Identity is renewed. Conscience is cleansed. Relationship with God is restored by grace alone.Your past does not get the final word. If you are in Christ, Christ has the final word—because Christ is truly sufficient, and He always will be.Takeaways / Reflection Questions Am I confusing guilt (what I have done) with shame (who I think I am)? Have I confessed sin honestly, or have I minimized and excused it? Am I receiving God’s forgiveness by faith, or replaying forgiven sin as if Christ’s work is insufficient? What does Scripture say is true about my identity in Christ? Who can I invite into my life for prayer and encouragement instead of hiding in isolation?Call to ActionIf this episode helped you, please subscribe to Servants of Grace, leave a rating and review, and share it with a friend.

Jesus perfectly trusted the Father, walked in the midst of trouble, and fulfilled God’s redemptive purposes through His life, death, and resurrection. Because of Christ, believers can rest in the confidence that God is at work and will complete what He has begun.Final EncouragementDear Christian, Psalm 138 reminds us that faith does not end in sorrow. It grows through it. The same God you trust in hardship is the same God you can praise with confidence today.Lift your voice not because life is easy, but because God is faithful. He is present.

Psalm 137: Trusting God in Suffering and Exile Series: Walking Through the Psalms Host: Dave Jenkins Date: April 3, 2026 Show Summary Psalm 137 is one of the most emotionally weighty passages in Scripture. It brings us into the grief of exile, the pain of loss, and the struggle of trusting God when life feels overwhelming. In this episode of Walking Through the Psalms, Dave Jenkins explains how Psalm 137 teaches believers to respond to suffering, injustice, and sorrow while still holding fast to the covenant faithfulness of God. This psalm reminds us that faith and sorrow can coexist. Even when worship feels difficult and God feels distant, the Lord has not changed. Believers are called to remember God’s promises, bring their pain honestly before Him, and trust His perfect justice rather than taking vengeance into their own hands. This episode also carefully addresses the difficult ending of Psalm 137, showing that these verses are not a call for personal revenge but a cry for divine justice. Ultimately, Psalm 137 points us forward to Jesus Christ, who entered into our suffering, endured rejection and injustice, and secured redemption through His death and resurrection.

God’s Work of Sanctification: Growing in Christ Through Ordinary GraceShow: Anchored in the Word with Dave JenkinsPodcast: Servants of GraceHost: Dave JenkinsShow SummarySanctification doesn’t usually feel dramatic. It often feels slow, ordinary, and sometimes even invisible. Many Christians wrestle with honest questions like: “If God is at work in me, why do I still struggle?”In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins explains what sanctification is (and what it isn’t), how it differs from justification, and how believers can recognize biblical evidences that God is truly at work in their lives.

His Steadfast Love Endures Forever: Psalm 136 and the Covenant Love of GodSeries: Walking Through the PsalmsPodcast: Servants of Grace PodcastHost: Dave JenkinsShow SummaryIn this episode of Walking Through the Psalms on the Servants of Grace Podcast, Dave Jenkins teaches through Psalm 136 and explains how this psalm leads God’s people to remember His mighty works through the repeated refrain, “for his steadfast love endures forever.” From creation to redemption to providence and present care, Psalm 136 shows that every work of God reveals His faithful covenant love.This psalm was likely used in corporate worship, with a leader declaring the mighty acts of God and the congregation responding together with the same refrain. As a result, Psalm 136 does not merely recount history. It teaches believers how to interpret all of life through the lens of God’s steadfast love. The God who created the heavens and the earth, delivered Israel from Egypt, led His people through the wilderness, and remembered them in their low estate is the same God who remembers His people today.In this episode, Dave also shows how Psalm 136 pairs with Psalm 135 and ultimately points forward to the greatest display of God’s covenant love in Jesus Christ. Because of Christ, believers can say with even greater confidence: His steadfast love endures forever.Listen to the AudioWatch the VideoCall to ActionIf this episode encouraged you, please subscribe to the Servants of Grace Podcast, share this episode with a friend or family member, and continue with us in the Walking Through the Psalms series as we explore the riches of God’s Word together.

Biblical Masculinity: God’s Design for Faithful ManhoodAuthor: Dave JenkinsShow: Anchored in the Word with Dave Jenkins (Servants of Grace)Date: 3/26/2026Show SummaryWhat is biblical masculinity—and why does it matter? In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins addresses cultural confusion about manhood and turns to Scripture for clarity. Biblical masculinity isn’t about dominance or passivity. It’s about Christlike responsibility—marked by conviction, courage, humility, servant-hearted leadership, and steady obedience over time.Listen (Audio)Watch (Video)Key ScripturesGenesis 1:26–27Genesis 2:15–181 Corinthians 16:13–142 Corinthians 12Philippians 1:6Philippians 4:6–9Lamentations 3:22–23Episode HighlightsWhy cultural confusion about masculinity has left many men without clarity or direction.God’s design for manhood begins with responsibility before God, not self-definition.Jesus Christ as the standard: strength with gentleness, authority with humility, conviction with compassion.Marks of biblical masculinity: responsibility, conviction, courage, servant-hearted leadership, steady obedience.Gospel encouragement for discouraged men: growth is a process, and God finishes what He starts.Full ArticleWhat Is Biblical Masculinity?Biblical masculinity is not defined by culture, stereotypes, dominance, or passivity. God designed manhood, and His Word speaks clearly. At its core, biblical masculinity is Christlike responsibility—strength under control, used not for self-serving power but for faithful service before God and toward others.Why This MattersWhen men abdicate responsibility, families, churches, and communities suffer. When men distort masculinity, harm and confusion follow. But when men follow Christ as defined in the Word of God, wives flourish, children are disciplined and discipled, and the next generation gains clarity. Biblical masculinity isn’t about being admired— it’s about being faithful to God.God’s Design for Men in CreationScripture teaches that men are created by God and bear His image (Genesis 1:26–27). In Genesis 2:15–18, we see God giving Adam responsibility—to work, cultivate, guard, and lead. Biblical masculinity begins with bearing responsibility before God.A Clear Command to Courage and LovePaul exhorts believers: “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love” (1 Corinthians 16:13–14). Biblical masculinity is never separated from love. Strength is not for self-exaltation, but for faithful obedience and sacrificial service.Jesus Christ as the StandardJesus shows perfect masculinity—strength with gentleness, authority with humility, leadership with sacrifice, conviction with compassion. Jesus, not culture, is the standard. Real strength is not used to serve self, but to serve others.Marks of Biblical MasculinityResponsibility: A Christian man takes ownership before God and doesn’t withdraw or shift blame.Conviction: He is rooted in the Word, not tethered to trends, feelings, or theological fads.Courage: He does what is right even when it costs.Servant-Hearted Leadership: He leads with humility and faithfulness, not control.Steady Obedience: Growth happens over a lifetime of faithful obedience, often unnoticed.Encouragement for Discouraged MenIf you feel unqualified, unprepared, or overwhelmed, hear this: every Christian man is in a process of growth. God is patient, and He equips the men He calls. “He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion” (Philippians 1:6).When you’ve had a hard day, cast your burdens on the Lord. Pray. Bring your cares to Him. God promises peace to His people (Philippians 4:6–9). And remember: the mercies of God are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22–23).Biblical masculinity is not about pretending you’re strong. It’s about being honest before God, growing in grace, and learning to live as a faithful man anchored in Christ and rooted in His Word.Takeaways / Reflection QuestionsWhere have you been tempted to define masculinity by culture rather than Scripture?What is one responsibility God is calling you to take ownership of—without blame-shifting or withdrawing?How can you pursue conviction rooted in the Word this week (reading plan, accountability, local church)?Where do you need courage to obey Christ, even if it costs?What would servant-hearted leadership look like in your home, church, and relationships right now?Call to ActionIf this episode helped you, please subscribe on your favorite podcast app, leave a rating and review, and share it with a friend.

Freedom from Lust and Pornography: A Biblical Path to PurityShow: Anchored in the Word with Dave JenkinsMinistry: Servants of GraceDate: 3/19/2026Show SummaryQuestion: What should I do if I’m struggling with lust or pornography?In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins addresses the struggle with lust and pornography and lays out a clear, biblical path toward purity and freedom in Christ. Lust is not merely behavioral—it is a heart issue. Pornography enslaves, distorts, and thrives in secrecy, but God brings healing through truth brought into the light, repentance, accountability, and renewed affection for Christ through His Word.ListenWatchEpisode NotesKey ScripturesMatthew 5:27–281 Thessalonians 4:3–51 Corinthians 6:18–201 John 1:9Romans 12:2Psalm 16:11Psalm 51:10Titus 2 (discipleship and accountability)Galatians 6:1–2 (bearing burdens, restoring gently)Episode HighlightsYou are not alone—many believers struggle in silence with shame, guilt, fear, and discouragement.Lust is a heart issue, not merely a behavior issue (Matthew 5:27–28).Pornography enslaves and distorts; sin grows in secrecy, but healing begins when truth is brought into the light.God calls His people to holiness (1 Thessalonians 4:3–5) because our bodies belong to Christ (1 Corinthians 6:18–20).God’s commands are not meant to restrict joy, but to protect it.Freedom involves confession, repentance, renewing the mind, cutting off access points, and walking in accountability.Lust is displaced by a greater affection—beholding Christ makes sin less appealing (Psalm 16:11).Full Article1) You Are Not Alone—and You Are Not Beyond GraceIf you are struggling with lust or pornography, hear this clearly: you are not alone. Many Christians carry this battle in silence—burdened by shame, guilt, fear, and discouragement. But secrecy is not your friend. Sin grows in the dark, and healing begins when the truth is brought into the light of God’s Word and God’s people.2) Lust Is a Heart Issue (Not Just a Behavior Issue)Jesus exposes the deeper issue beneath outward actions. In Matthew 5:27–28, He teaches that lust is not merely external—it flows from the heart. Pornography promises pleasure and escape, but it always leaves real life emptier. It offers intimacy without covenant, pleasure without sacrifice, and closeness without commitment—promises it cannot keep.3) God Calls His People to HolinessScripture is clear that God’s will is our sanctification (1 Thessalonians 4:3–5). Sexual sin is serious, not because God is against joy, but because sin twists what God created for good. Our bodies belong to Christ (1 Corinthians 6:18–20), and God’s commands are given not to restrict joy, but to protect it.4) The Biblical Path ForwardConfess Your Sin Honestly Before GodBring the truth to God. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). Forgiveness and cleansing are real because Christ’s work is finished and sufficient.Repent with Intention and DirectionRepentance is not “trying harder” in your own strength—it is turning from sin and turning to Christ. It is a real change of direction rooted in faith and fueled by grace.Renew Your Mind with the Word of GodTransformation happens as God renews your thinking (Romans 12:2). New desires grow as truth reshapes what you love, what you pursue, and what you believe.Cut Off Access PointsJesus uses strong language in Matthew 5:29–30 because sin must be taken seriously. Put practical boundaries in place. Remove pathways that lead you back into darkness.Walk in Accountability and CommunityWe fight best in community, not in isolation. Scripture calls us to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:1–2). Men should seek an older, godly man; women should seek an older, godly woman (Titus 2). This is part of God’s wise care.5) Replace Lust with a Greater Affection for ChristLust cannot be defeated by emptiness—it must be displaced by a greater affection. As you behold Christ, sin becomes less appealing. True joy is found in God’s presence (Psalm 16:11). Pursue the ordinary means of grace: the Word, prayer, worship, service, fellowship, and life with God’s people.6) Take Heart—Progress May Be Slow, But Christ Is StrongYou are not beyond grace. Progress may be slow, but slow obedience is still obedience. Christ breaks chains, restores purity, and strengthens the weak. Pray with Psalm 51:10: “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” Christ’s grace is stronger than your past, and His power is greater than your struggle.Next Episode Preview: What is biblical masculinity, and why does it matter today?Takeaways and Reflection QuestionsWhere have you been fighting in secrecy instead of bringing the struggle into the light?What “access points” need to be cut off today in order to pursue holiness with clarity?Who is one mature believer you can ask to walk with you in accountability and prayer?What Scripture passages will you meditate on this week to renew your mind?How can you replace temptation patterns with habits of Word, prayer, worship, and fellowship?Call to ActionIf this episode helped you, please share it with a friend and subscribe to Servants of Grace wherever you get your podcasts.

Psalm 132: God’s Covenant Promise and the Coming KingSeries: Walking Through the PsalmsHost: Dave JenkinsDate: Friday, February 27, 2026Scripture: Psalm 132Show SummaryPsalm 132 is one of the most historically grounded and covenant-rich Songs of Ascents.

Ultimately, Psalm 132 finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ—the true Son of David, the eternal King, and the true dwelling place of God with His people.God is not absent. God is not forgetful. He keeps His covenant promises in Christ.🎧 Listen📺 WatchEpisode Notes David’s Zeal for God’s Dwelling (Psalm 132:1–5) – God’s presence matters more than comfort. Worship takes priority over ease.

When God Feels Silent: Trusting Him in Seasons of SufferingAnchored in the Word with Dave Jenkins — a segment of the Servants of Grace PodcastShow SummaryThere are seasons in the Christian life when God feels near and seasons when He feels painfully silent.In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins helps believers think biblically about sufferingwhen God feels silent, showing from Scripture that God’s silence is not abandonment, rejection, or indifference.You’ll be encouraged to trust God’s unchanging character, rest in Christ’s compassion, and hold fast to hope in the promises of God’s Word.ListenWatchEpisode NotesKey ScripturesPsalm 13:1–2Romans 8:18Romans 8:26–282 Corinthians 4:16–18Romans 5:3–51 Peter 1:6–7Hebrews 2:17–18; 4:14–16Isaiah 50:10Episode HighlightsThe silence of God in suffering is real and biblical.God’s silence is never evidence of His absence.God does His deepest work in the darkest seasons.The Holy Spirit intercedes when you have no words left.Christ meets you in suffering as your sympathetic High Priest.The silence of God will not last forever—He always speaks again.Takeaways / Reflection QuestionsHave you interpreted God’s silence as abandonment?How does Psalm 13 teach you to lament with faith?Where might God be refining your faith through suffering?How does Christ’s suffering strengthen your hope today?Call to ActionIf this episode encouraged you, consider sharing it with someone who may be walking through a season of suffering.Explore more from Anchored in the Word at Servants of Grace or on our YouTube playlist.

Walking by the Spirit: A Life Shaped by God’s WordShow: Anchored in the Word with Dave JenkinsAuthor: Dave JenkinsWebsite: Servants of Grace (servantsofgrace.org)Show SummaryOne of the most misunderstood ideas in the Christian life is what it means to walk by the Spirit. Many peopleassociate spiritual maturity with mystical impressions, inner voices, or new revelation. But when Scripture speaks of walking by the Spirit, it describes a daily life shaped, empowered, and governed by the Holy Spirit through the Word of God.In this episode, Dave Jenkins explains what it means to walk by the Spirit in everyday Christian living beginning with regeneration, continuing through Scripture-saturated obedience, opposing the flesh by Spirit-enabled power, producing the fruit of Christlike character, and keeping our focus on Jesus Christ.Audio PlayerVideo PlayerKey ScripturesGalatians 5:16–17Romans 8:5–6John 16:13–14Galatians 5:25Romans 8:13–14Episode NotesWalking by the Spirit begins with a new heart. Regeneration comes first—then transformation follows.Walking by the Spirit means living under the Word He inspired. The Spirit leads us into Scripture, not away from it.Walking by the Spirit means saying no to the flesh. The Christian life is lived in battle, not neutral.Walking by the Spirit produces Christlike fruit. Spiritual maturity is measured by likeness to Christ, not flashiness.Walking by the Spirit means keeping in step with His leading. Daily reliance on grace, a tender conscience, and steady obedience.Walking by the Spirit keeps us focused on Christ. Where the Spirit works, Christ becomes greater and sin is put to death.Full ArticleOne of the most misunderstood ideas in the Christian life—especially in the church today—is what it means to walk by the Spirit. You’ll hear all kinds of things: “Let the Spirit speak new revelation into your heart,” “Wait for an impression before obeying God,” or “Surrender to a mystical experience.”But when Paul talks about walking by the Spirit, he’s not describing mystical feelings or subjective impressions. He is describing a daily life shaped, empowered, and governed by the Holy Spirit through the Word of God.Galatians 5:16–17 says, “But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh…”Romans 8:5–6 says, “For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.”John 16:13–14 says, “When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth… He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.”1) Walking by the Spirit begins with a new heartBefore you can begin to walk by the power of the Holy Spirit, you must be born of the Spirit. Regeneration comes first, and then transformation follows. The Holy Spirit opens our eyes to Christ, makes us alive to Christ, and joins us to Christ. He gives us new desires, writes the law on our hearts, and unites us to Christ alone.Walking by the Spirit is not something we do to become Christians. It is something we do because we are Christians—united to Christ by faith and indwelt by the Spirit.2) Walking by the Spirit means living under the Word He inspiredThe Holy Spirit never leads us away from the Word of God. Instead, He leads us into the Word of God. Jesus said the Spirit will guide us into all truth, and John 17 teaches that God’s Word is truth.So walking by the Spirit means submitting to the Word of God, obeying the Word of God, delighting in the Word of God, and depending on the Word of God. The Spirit-filled Christian is a Scripture-filled Christian.3) Walking by the Spirit means saying no to the fleshPaul teaches that the flesh and the Spirit are at war. To walk by the Spirit is to actively oppose the desires of the flesh. The Spirit empowers us to kill sin, resist temptation, refuse worldly desires, and fight the impulses of the old nature.This isn’t willpower or self-sufficiency. It is Spirit-enabled obedience rooted in the grace of God and revealed in the Word of God. The Christian life is not lived in neutral—it is lived in battle.4) Walking by the Spirit produces the fruit of Christlike characterWalking by the Spirit is not about spectacular gifts but about everyday, ordinary faithfulness to God.Paul doesn’t say, “Walk by the Spirit and you’ll experience dramatic manifestations.” He says, “You will bear fruit.”That fruit includes love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.The Spirit’s work is to conform us into the image of Christ. This is slow work, steady work, and beautiful work.The real mark of spiritual maturity is not flashiness—it is likeness to Christ.5) Walking by the Spirit means keeping in step with His leadingGalatians 5:25 says, “If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.”This means consistency—daily reliance on God, not occasional bursts of zeal.It means sensitivity to conviction, a tender conscience, a willingness to repent quickly, and dependence on the grace of God—knowing we can do nothing apart from Christ. It also means obedience to the Word of God, aligning your life with God’s revealed will in Scripture. Walking by the Spirit is not unpredictable; it is steady, humble, biblically grounded, and obedience-filled by the power of God.6) Walking by the Spirit keeps us focused on ChristJesus said the Spirit would glorify Him. So the Spirit-filled life is a Christ-centered life.Walking by the Spirit is not primarily about the Spirit of God; it is about the Spirit pointing us to Christ from the Word of God.The Spirit opens our eyes to Christ in Scripture, warms our hearts to love Christ, empowers us to obey Christ,conforms us into the image of Christ, and anchors our hope in the return of Christ.Where the Spirit works, Christ becomes greater and we put our sin to death.Takeaways / Reflection QuestionsIn what ways have you been tempted to equate spiritual maturity with feelings or impressions rather than Scripture?What daily habits help you stay under the Word the Spirit inspired?Where do you most need Spirit-enabled strength to say no to the flesh?Which fruit of the Spirit do you most want God to grow in you right now?How can you keep Christ at the center of your walk this week?Call to ActionIf this episode helped you, please consider subscribing, or sharing it with a friend.

Guarding Your Heart Against Spiritual DriftAuthor: Dave JenkinsPodcast: Anchored in the Word with Dave Jenkins (Servants of Grace)Episode Type: Biblical TeachingShow SummarySpiritual drift is real and it rarely happens overnight. More often, it begins quietly through neglect, distraction, and misplaced priorities. In this episode of Anchored in the Word with Dave Jenkins, we answer the question: How can Christians guard their hearts against spiritual drift?Drawing from Hebrews 2:1, Proverbs 4:23, and John 15:4–5, this episode helps believers recognize the subtle dangers of drifting and calls us to stay near to Christ through the ordinary means of grace—God’s Word, prayer, fellowship, worship, and life in the local church.Audio PlayerVideo PlayerKey ScripturesHebrews 2:1Proverbs 4:23John 15:4–5Romans 12:2Psalm 73:28Episode Notes1) Spiritual drift happens when we neglect the ordinary means of grace.Drift doesn’t start with rebellion—it starts with neglect. A neglected Bible leads to a neglected heart. God has given His people the means of grace—Scripture, prayer, fellowship, worship, the Lord’s Day, the preaching of the Word, and the ordinances—not as optional add-ons, but as His appointed pathways to spiritual stability.2) Spiritual drift happens when we stop paying close attention to God’s Word.Hebrews 2:1 warns us clearly: “We must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it.” Like a boat without an anchor, the heart that stops listening carefully to Scripture will quietly move away from the shore. We must receive the Word regularly, reverently, and obediently—not merely hearing it, but submitting to it.3) Spiritual drift happens when we let the world shape us more than the Word.Romans 12:2 calls believers not to be conformed to this world. Drift often begins when media shapes us more than Scripture, when approval of man matters more than pleasing Christ, and when sin is treated casually. You will be shaped by what you regularly absorb.4) Spiritual drift is prevented by abiding in Christ.In John 15, Jesus does not say, “Try harder.” He says, “Abide in Me.” Spiritual stability grows as we remain connected to the Vine—trusting Christ daily, treasuring Him above all, relying on His strength, and staying near to His Word.5) Guarding your heart requires daily watchfulness.Proverbs 4:23 commands: “Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.” Watchfulness includes examining your heart regularly, confessing sin quickly, keeping short accounts with God, staying faithful in the local church, and maintaining a humble, teachable spirit.6) God’s grace restores drifting hearts.If you realize you have drifted—grown cold, neglected prayer, worship, or the Word—here is the good news: God restores drifting hearts. You are not beyond His mercy. The same Jesus who warns us not to drift is the same Savior who restores, renews, and holds His people fast.Closing Scripture: “But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord God my refuge.” (Psalm 73:28)Key TakeawaysSpiritual drift begins quietly through neglect, not usually through open rebellion.The ordinary means of grace are God’s appointed pathways to spiritual stability.A heart anchored in God’s Word is guarded from drifting.Abiding in Christ is the daily, sustaining answer to spiritual drift.God restores wandering hearts with grace, mercy, and kindness.Call to ActionIf this episode helped you, please subscribe and share it with others.

Psalm 129: Afflicted, Not Destroyed — God’s Preserving Grace in SufferingShow: Walking Through the Psalms (Servants of Grace Podcast) | Speaker: Dave Jenkins | Passage: Psalm 129 | Date: Friday, February 6, 2026Show SummaryPsalm 129 reminds us that the journey of God’s people is not only marked by blessing, but also by affliction. As a Song of Ascents, this psalm was sung by Israel on the road to Jerusalem bearing witness to generations of suffering, endurance, and the Lord’s preserving grace.In this episode of Walking Through the Psalms, Dave Jenkins teaches that faithfulness to God does not shield believers from hardship, but it does guarantee a secure outcome. God’s people may be struck down, but they are never destroyed, because the Lord is righteous, His justice is sure, and His sustaining grace holds His people fast. Ultimately, Psalm 129 points us to Jesus Christ—afflicted, rejected, and crucified yet victorious in His resurrection. Because Christ lives, suffering does not have the final word, and opposition cannot undo the promises of God.ListenWatchCall to ActionIf this episode encouraged you, please consider sharing it and leaving a review.

The Fear of the Lord: Reverent Trust That Shapes the Christian LifeShow: Anchored in the Word (Servants of Grace Podcast)Host: Dave JenkinsShow SummaryWhat does it mean to fear the Lord and why does it matter for everyday Christian living? In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins explains that the fear of God is not terror that drives us away, but reverent trust that draws us near. The fear of the Lord produces wisdom, deepens worship, drives out lesser fears, and shapes how we read Scripture, pray, fight sin, endure trials, and live with confidence in God’s unshakable kingdom.Audio PlayerVideo PlayerEpisode NotesKey ScripturesPsalm 111:10Proverbs 1:7Hebrews 12:28–29Acts 9:31Matthew 10:28–31Big IdeaThe fear of the Lord is trusting reverence a weighty, joyful awareness of God’s holiness that leads to wisdom, worship, obedience, and freedom from the fear of man.Full ArticleWhat Does It Mean to Fear the Lord?Few phrases appear as often in Scripture and are misunderstood as often as “the fear of the Lord.” Some hear that phrase and imagine dread, anxiety, or the kind of terror that makes a person run and hide. But that is not how the Bible teaches God’s people to understand this fear.Psalm 111:10 says, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.” Proverbs 1:7 adds, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Isaiah calls the fear of the Lord a treasure for God’s people (Isa. 33:6). And the book of Acts describes the early church as walking “in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 9:31). The fear of the Lord is not presented as a passing theme, but as a foundational mark of faithful living.The Fear of the Lord Is Not Terror, but Trusting ReverenceWhen Scripture calls believers to fear God, it is not calling us to the kind of fear that makes us run away from Him. It is the kind of fear that draws us near—because it recognizes who God is. He is holy. He is righteous. He is sovereign. He is mighty. And He is worthy of obedience, honor, and worship. In other words, the fear of the Lord is a trembling that loves God—not a terror that hides from Him.Think of Isaiah in Isaiah 6. He sees the glory of the Lord, trembles, and confesses his sin. Yet God cleanses him and sends him on mission. Or consider Peter in Luke 5. When Jesus fills the nets with fish, Peter falls down and says, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man.” Yet Jesus does not cast him away He draws him near and says, “Do not be afraid.” True fear of God humbles us, exposes our sin, and then drives us to the grace and mercy of God.The Fear of the Lord Produces WisdomProverbs tells us plainly that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Why? Because fearing God rightly does at least three vital things.It puts God in His proper place as holy and authoritative. Since God is God, His Word is true, His commands are good, and His ways lead to life.It puts us in our proper place as dependent and needy. We are not wise on our own. We are not strong on our own. We are not righteous on our own. But God is all these things, and He supplies what we lack.It reorients how we see the world. Life stops being about self-rule and becomes about God’s rule. Life stops being about our wisdom and becomes about God’s wisdom.Wisdom begins when we bow before a sovereign God as revealed in His Word. Foolishness begins when we refuse to bow to Him.The Fear of the Lord Drives Out Lesser FearsOne of the great paradoxes of Scripture is this: when you fear the Lord, you fear nothing else. And when you do not fear the Lord, you fear everything else. The fear of the Lord frees us from the fear of man, the fear of the future, the fear of suffering, and the fear of death. Why? Because the God you fear is the God who saves you, keeps you, and holds you.Jesus says in Matthew 10: “Do not fear those who kill the body… rather fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” And then He immediately comforts His people by reminding them they are of more value than many sparrows. The fear of the Lord produces both sobriety and security—because God is holy, and God is also faithful.The Fear of the Lord Fuels Worship and Joyful ObedienceThe fear of the Lord is not cold, dry, or distant. It produces worship. It produces delight. It produces obedience rooted in love. Hebrews 12:28–29 calls believers to offer acceptable worship “with reverence and awe,” because our God is a consuming fire. God’s holiness is weighty. His glory is real. His presence is not casual. A casual view of God leads to casual obedience. A weighty and biblical view of God leads to joyful obedience. This is why Acts 9:31 says the early church walked in the fear of the Lord and the comfort of the Holy Spirit not fear or comfort, but fear and comfort together. The fear of the Lord and the comfort of God are not enemies; they belong together in the Christian life.How the Fear of the Lord Shapes Everyday Christian LivingWhat does the fear of the Lord look like on Monday morning?It shapes how you read the Word of God—you come recognizing it is God’s authoritative voice.It shapes how you pray—boldly, yet humbly; confidently, yet reverently.It shapes how you fight sin—you take sin seriously because God takes sin seriously.It shapes how you love others—you aim to honor God in relationships, home, and church.It shapes how you endure trials—you rest in God’s sovereignty, wisdom, and goodness even when life is painful.Walking in the fear of the Lord aligns your whole life under God’s authority and God’s grace as revealed in His Word not as a burden, but as a blessing.Final EncouragementPsalm 112:1 says, “Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in His commandments.” The fear of the Lord is to delight in Him. To bow before Him is to find life in Him. To reverence Him is to rest in Him. May God help each of us to walk in the fear of the Lord with reverence, with joy, with trust, and with confidence in His unshakable kingdom.Episode HighlightsThe fear of the Lord is not terror—it is reverent trust that draws us near to God.The fear of the Lord produces wisdom by putting God in His rightful place and us in ours.The fear of the Lord drives out lesser fears—especially the fear of man, the future, and suffering.The fear of the Lord fuels worship marked by reverence and awe, because our God is holy.The fear of the Lord shapes daily life: Bible intake, prayer, holiness, relationships, endurance, and joy.TakeawaysAsk the Lord to give you a weighty view of His holiness and a warm confidence in His grace.Identify where the fear of man is controlling you—and replace it with reverent trust in God.Approach Scripture and prayer with humility, confidence, and reverence.Let the fear of the Lord produce joyful obedience rather than casual Christianity.Call to ActionIf this episode encouraged you, please consider:Subscribe to the Servants of Grace Podcast for more biblical teaching.Share this episode with a friend or your church small group.Thank you for listening.

Psalm 128: God’s Blessing in Work, Home, and FutureSeries: Walking Through the Psalms |Show: Servants of Grace Podcast |Date: Friday, January 30, 2026Show SummaryIn Psalm 127 we learned that anxious striving cannot secure what only God can give. In Psalm 128, the Lord shows us what lifelooks like when He truly “builds the house.” This psalm answers a question many believers carry quietly:What does God’s blessing look like in ordinary, faithful life?Psalm 128 does not describe a perfect life. It describes a God-centered life marked by reverent fear of the Lord,daily obedience, and steady faithfulness. God’s blessing touches the ordinary spheres of life:work, home, worship, and future generations.Audio PlayerVideo Player Call to ActionIf this episode encouraged you, please consider sharing it and leaving a review so others can find the content.For more from our Psalm series please visit here or on our YouTube channel.

Psalm 127: Labor Without Anxiety | Walking Through the PsalmsAuthor: Dave JenkinsShow: Servants of Grace Podcast (Walking Through the Psalms)Date: January 23, 2026Show SummaryIn this episode of Walking Through the Psalms, we explore Psalm 127—a searching and pastoral psalm that confronts our temptation to trust effort, productivity, and self-reliance more than the blessing of God. Psalm 127 is not a warning against work; it is a warning against work that forgets God. Whether we are building homes, guarding cities, raising families, or serving in ministry, this psalm calls us to labor faithfully without anxiety by depending on the Lord.Key Passage: Psalm 127 (ESV)Listen / WatchListenEpisode NotesScripture Reading: Psalm 127“Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep. Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.”Episode HighlightsPsalm 127 confronts the temptation to trust our effort more than the blessing of God.Faithful work is good—but work apart from dependence on the Lord becomes anxious toil.Rest is not laziness; it is an act of faith in God’s providence.God builds not only structures, but generations—our future is to be received, not controlled.Psalm 127 ultimately points us to Jesus Christ, who labored without anxiety and trusted the Father perfectly.Walking Through the Psalm1) The Futility of Work Without the Lord (Psalm 127:1)“Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.” This verse does not condemn building. It condemns building apart from trust in the Lord. The “house” can refer to a home, a family, a household, a dynasty, or even the temple. The issue is not the task, but the source of our trust and where our ultimate allegiance lies.“Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.” Human vigilance is not useless, but it is not ultimate. God calls His people to responsibility without self-reliance—faithful effort that depends on Him.2) The Burden of Anxious Toil (Psalm 127:2)“It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil.” The problem is not diligence. Scripture commends hard work. The problem is anxious striving—labor driven by fear, not by faith. This kind of work is fueled by fear of failure, fear of loss, fear of the future, and fear that God will not provide.“For he gives to his beloved sleep.” Sleep is a gift, not a reward. It pictures peace and confidence that God governs outcomes we cannot control. To rest is not laziness—it is an act of faith.3) Receiving the Future as God’s Good Gift (Psalm 127:3–5)Psalm 127 moves from anxious toil to the gift of children to show us something crucial: even the future we are tempted to control is meant to be received, not managed. Children are described as a heritage and reward from the Lord—covenant blessings, not achievements or commodities. The psalm reminds us that God builds not only structures, but generations.Theological ThemesGod’s sovereignty over work and success: The Lord upholds the universe—and He upholds you—by the word of His power.The emptiness of anxious striving: The Christian’s motivation is God’s glory, the good of others, and faithful witness—not self-exaltation.Rest as an expression of faith: Rest creates space to pray, reflect, and address fear and anxiety with God’s help and the care of His people.Children as covenant blessings, not commodities: The future is ultimately the Lord’s—and His faithfulness extends into generations.Dependence on the Lord for present labor and future hope: We gather on the Lord’s Day and scatter into our callings to live faithfully before Him.Christ in Psalm 127Psalm 127 finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Jesus trusted the Father perfectly. He labored without anxiety. He rested in the Father’s will and entrusted His mission and the future entirely to God. Through His death and resurrection, Christ secured a kingdom that cannot be shaken. Because of Christ, our labor in the Lord is not in vain, our rest is grounded in grace, and our future is secure—not fragile.Takeaways / Reflection QuestionsWhere are you most tempted to trust your effort more than the Lord’s blessing?What does “anxious toil” look like in your work, home life, or ministry right now?How can rest become an act of faith for you this week?What would it look like to place the Lord at the center of your planning and labor?Call to ActionIf this episode encouraged you, please consider sharing it or leaving a review—this helps others find biblical teaching and resources that serve the local church.For more from our Psalm series please visit our page here our at our YouTube.Lord willing, next time we’ll continue our journey with Psalm 128.

Psalm 126: Sowing in Tears, Reaping in JoyWalking Through the PsalmsHost: Dave Jenkins •Date: Friday, January 16, 2026We often look back and say, “Those were the days”—when faith felt easier and joy felt closer.Psalm 126 speaks to believers living between remembered joy and present sorrow, teaching us toremember God’s past faithfulness, pray for renewal, and obey with hope while we wait for the harvest God has promised.ListenWatchKey ScripturePsalm 126Hebrews 4:14–16 (throne of grace)Romans 8:1 (no condemnation in Christ)Philippians 4:8–9 (set the mind on what is true)2 Corinthians 10:5 (take every thought captive)Sermon OutlineRemembered Redemption (Psalm 126:1–3)A Present Cry for Renewal (Psalm 126:4)Faithful Obedience Through Tears (Psalm 126:5–6)Main TakeawaysRemembering God’s past faithfulness strengthens present faith and fuels worship.Past redemption does not eliminate the need for present prayer—especially in seasons of dryness.God does not waste obedience done through sorrow; the harvest is promised, even if delayed.Psalm 126 ultimately points us to Christ, whose resurrection guarantees future joy for His people.Scripture Reading (Psalm 126, ESV)1 When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy;then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”3 The LORD has done great things for us; we are glad.4 Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like streams in the Negeb!5 Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy!6 He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.Scripture quotations are from the ESV®.

s work on the cross. This is not based on your performance but on His finished work. Take time to reflect on the truth of justification.

Be Doers of the Word: Living Out James 1:22Podcast: Anchored in the Word with Dave JenkinsShow: Servants of Grace Podcast NetworkEpisode SummaryMany Christians are surrounded by Bible content. We read Scripture, listen to sermons, podcasts, and teachings, yet often struggle to actually apply what we hear. In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins walks through James 1:22 and the call to be doers of the Word, not hearers only. We look at why hearing without obedience leads to self-deception, how the Holy Spirit helps us, and practical steps for putting Scripture into practice in everyday life.Listen to the EpisodeAudio PlayerVideo PlayerKey ScriptureJames 1:22 – “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” James 1:22–25 John 15–16 Matthew 22:39 Selected passages from Proverbs on wisdom and understandingEpisode Highlights1. Hearing Versus Doing Many Christians regularly hear Scripture, but James draws a clear line between hearing and doing. Hearing alone can create an illusion of spiritual growth if it is never translated into action. Illustration: reading an instruction manual but never assembling the furniture, the knowledge does not produce the intended result.2. The Danger of Self Deception James warns that those who hear the Word without doing it “deceive” themselves. James 1:23–24 compares this to looking in a mirror, then walking away and forgetting what you saw. It is possible to confuse exposure to truth with obedience to truth.3. Doctrine That Leads to Life Doctrine is teaching, and the source of sound doctrine is the Word of God. Sound doctrine is meant to lead to sound living, it should shape decisions, relationships, work, home, and church life. This applies to every believer, whether or not you have formal theological training.4. Wisdom, Understanding, and Application Scripture gives us both wisdom and understanding. Wisdom knows that God’s Word is true and trustworthy. Understanding asks how this truth applies to our hearts, our habits, our relationships, and our witness. James reads like New Testament wisdom literature, calling us to bring truth home into every area of life.5. The Blessing of Obedience James 1:25 speaks of the one who looks into the perfect law, perseveres, and acts. That person “will be blessed in his doing.” Obedience is not a cold checklist, it is the fruit of union with Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit. True obedience begins in the heart and results in real change in how we live, love, forgive, and stand firm in the truth.6. Practical Ways to Be a Doer of the Word Start small: When you read a passage, identify one concrete way to respond in your day. Obey in the ordinary: Look for everyday places to apply Scripture, in your home, work, church, and private life. Reflect, then act: Before you close your Bible or finish a sermon, ask, “What is one thing I can do with this truth this week?” See Scripture as personal and sufficient: God has given His Word to address your grief, suffering, joy, anxiety, and daily decisions. Grow in application for the sake of others: As you learn to apply God’s Word to your own heart, you will grow in evangelism, discipleship, and counseling others.Reflection and Application Where in your life have you been mostly a hearer of the Word rather than a doer? What is one passage of Scripture that God keeps bringing to mind that you need to obey today? How can you build a simple habit of asking, “How should I live differently because of what I just read or heard?” Who in your life might benefit from you gently sharing how God is teaching you to apply His Word?Connect and Stay EncouragedIf this episode encouraged you, please consider: Subscribing to the Anchored in the Word segment of the Servants of Grace podcast.

Psalm 123: Lifting Our Eyes to God for MercySeries: Walking Through the PsalmsHost: Dave JenkinsDate: December 26, 2025Show SummaryPsalm 123 is a prayer for weary believers who feel worn down, mocked, or burdened by life. In this episode, Dave Jenkins explores how this Song of Ascents calls God’s people to lift their eyes to the enthroned Lord, wait dependently for His mercy, and trust Him amid contempt and opposition. This psalm teaches us that the Christian life is lived not by self-sufficiency, but by humble dependence on the mercy of God—especially when trials press in and strength runs low.Audio PlayerVideo PlayerKey Scripture Psalm 123Episode Notes Looking Up to the Enthroned King (Psalm 123:1) Waiting Dependently for Mercy (Psalm 123:2) Crying Out Under Contempt (Psalm 123:3–4)Key Themes God is enthroned in heaven and rules over all things. Believers are called to depend entirely on God’s mercy. Waiting on God is active faithfulness, not inactivity. God’s people often endure scorn and opposition in the world. Mercy is God’s loving response to our weakness.Takeaways Toward God: Lift your eyes to the Lord daily and depend on His mercy. Toward Yourself: Embrace dependence instead of self-sufficiency; remember your limitations. Toward Others: Show mercy to the weary and discouraged. Toward the World: Expect contempt, but respond with trust and steadfastness—not fear.Christ-Centered FocusPsalm 123 finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Jesus endured scorn and contempt, yet trusted the Father and obeyed perfectly. At the cross, mercy descended not in judgment upon us, but in grace through Christ. Because of Jesus, we lift our eyes with confidence, knowing God’s throne is a throne of grace.Call to ActionIf this episode encouraged you, please consider subscribing on YouTube, sharing the episode, and leaving a review.

Psalm 122, Worship with Joy, Walk in Unity, Pray for PeaceBy: Dave Jenkins | Show: Servants of Grace Podcast, Walking Through the Psalms | Date: Friday, December 19, 2025Show SummaryIn this episode of Walking Through the Psalms, Dave Jenkins walks through Psalm 122 and shows how worship is a joyful privilege, unity is a gift grounded in biblical doctrine, and peace is something Christians must pursue and pray for, rooted in the finished work of Jesus Christ. Psalm 122 trains God’s people to worship with gladness, walk in true unity under God’s Word, and pray for peace with biblical wisdom and gospel clarity.ListenWatchEpisode NotesScripture ReadingPsalm 122Big IdeaWorship with joy, walk in unity, pray for peace, because Christ has secured true peace with God.Episode Outline1) Joy in Worship (Psalm 122:1–2): Worship is not convenience or obligation, it is covenant joy rooted in God’s redeeming love.2) Unity Grounded in God’s Presence and Word (Psalm 122:3–5): Biblical unity is a gift created by the Spirit and stewarded through faithfulness to Scripture, not manufactured by sentiment.3) Pray for Peace (Psalm 122:6–9): Shalom is not the absence of conflict but the presence of God’s order and blessing, and true peace is only possible through Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1).Key EmphasesFalse peace offers comfort without Christ and can leave people unreconciled to God.True peace is secured by Christ’s finished work and applied by the Spirit through the Word.Christians may value public peace, but our central concern is gospel peace, reconciliation to God through Jesus Christ.Memorable Line“Worship with joy.

Psalm 120, Peace in a World of LiesServants of Grace Podcast | Walking Through the Psalmsby Dave Jenkins on Friday, December 5, 2025Episode SummaryPsalm 120 begins the Songs of Ascents with a cry from a believer living in a world filled with lies, hostility, and spiritual tension.

Psalm 119:169–176, The Shepherd Who Seeks His Wandering SheepShow SummaryIn this episode of Walking Through the Psalms on the Servants of Grace podcast,Dave Jenkins walks through the final stanza of Psalm 119 (verses 169–176).After 21 stanzas of longing, delighting, clinging, wrestling, hoping, praising,and persevering in the Word of God, the psalmist closes with a prayer that combinesdesperation, dependance, and devotion.We see a man who has been shaped by Scripture crying out for understanding,deliverance, worship, and sustaining grace. He acknowledges his proneness to wander,yet clings to the Shepherd who never loses His sheep. This passage reminds believersthat true maturity is not independence from God but deeper dependance on His grace.Audio PlayerVideo PlayerEpisode NotesPassageText: Psalm 119:169–176Outline A Cry for Understanding (vv. 169–170) Humility is the doorway to biblical clarity. The psalmist knows, loves, and obeys the Word, yet still asks for more understanding. We never outgrow our need for a deeper grasp of God’s Word and grace. Praise as the Fruit of Learning (vv. 171–172) “My lips will pour forth praise, for you teach me your statutes.” Theology leads to doxology: doctrine fuels devotion and worship. True worship flows from the truth God has revealed in Scripture. Dependance Under Pressure (vv. 173–174) Choosing God’s precepts does not remove the need for God’s help. Longing for salvation and delighting in God’s law can coexist. God’s finished work in Christ is the ground of our hope and obedience. A Confession of Need and the Shepherd’s Pursuit (vv. 175–176) “I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant.” This is not proud rebellion but humble acknowledgment of weakness. Sanctification is not self-rescue; it is daily dependance on the Good Shepherd.Theological Themes Prayerful Dependance – The psalmist cries out for understanding, deliverance, and help. Praise Shaped by Revelation – God’s teaching produces heartfelt worship. God’s Help and Human Obedience – Our choice to follow God’s ways increases, not decreases, our reliance on Him. Longing for Salvation – Present delight in God’s law and future hope in His salvation meet together. The Shepherd’s Pursuit – We are prone to wander, but Christ, the Good Shepherd, seeks and restores His own.Application Self: Confess your weakness and ask God daily for understanding from His Word. Others: Encourage weary or wandering believers with the promise that the Shepherd seeks His sheep. Practice: Begin each day with a simple prayer: “Lord, give me understanding according to Your Word, and keep me close to You.” Memorize: Psalm 119:176 – “I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant, for I do not forget your commandments.”Further Study Psalm 23 – The Shepherd who leads and restores. John 10:1–18 – Jesus the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep. Hebrews 13:20–21 – The God of peace who equips His people. Isaiah 53:6 – “All we like sheep have gone astray.”Call to ActionIf this episode encouraged you, please share it with a friend and leave a review on the Servants of Grace podcastto help others find Christ-centered, Scripture-saturated teaching.
God’s Purpose in Our PainShow SummarySuffering is one of the hardest realities of life in a fallen world. Yet for the Christian, our pain is never pointless. In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins walks through key Scriptures to show how God uses suffering to humble us, refine our faith, bear witness to the world, and point us to eternal glory in Christ.Audio PlayerVideo PlayerEpisode Notes1. Suffering Reminds Us of Our Need for God Trials strip away self-reliance and drive us to depend on the Lord. 2 Corinthians 12:9–10 — God’s power is made perfect in weakness. Suffering humbles us and reminds us that God is in control, not us.2. Suffering Refines Our Faith James 1:2–4 — “Count it all joy… for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.” Trials act like a refiner’s fire, purifying our character and growing endurance. Romans 5:3–5 — Suffering produces endurance, character, and hope.3. Suffering Witnesses to the World When believers endure suffering with hope, the watching world takes notice. 1 Peter 3:15 — Always be prepared to give a reason for the hope that is in you. The early church grew through persecution, showing that Christ is worth more than comfort.4. Suffering Points Us to Eternal Glory 2 Corinthians 4:16–18 — “This light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison.” Earthly suffering is temporary, but eternal life with Christ is forever. Suffering loosens our grip on this world and lifts our eyes to heaven.Call to ActionIf this episode encouraged you, please share it with a friend and subscribe for more biblical teaching.

Theological Maturity, Growing in Christ Podcast: Anchored in the Word with Dave Jenkins Date: November 20, 2025 Episode Summary In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins walks through what theological maturity is, why it matters for every Christian, and how believers grow in it by God’s grace. Drawing from Hebrews 5:14, Ephesians 4:13–14, and other key passages, Dave explains how maturity means being rooted in God’s truth, steady in faith, discerning in practice, and Christlike in character. Dave also highlights how theological maturity protects us from false teaching, strengthens our witness before a watching world, and deepens our love for God as we grow in our knowledge of Him and obedience to His Word. Listen to the Episode Watch the Episode Episode Outline 1. What Is Theological Maturity? Theological maturity is not about knowing every Greek verb or winning debates. It is about being rooted in truth so that we are steady in faith, discerning in practice, and Christlike in character. Paul’s vision in Ephesians 4:13–14, maturity means being anchored in truth and not tossed about by every wind of doctrine. 2. Why Does Theological Maturity Matter? Protects from false teaching. Immaturity leaves us vulnerable to error, while mature believers can discern truth from error in light of Scripture. Strengthens our witness. A mature church reflects Christ well to the world, whereas shallow faith leads to shallow testimony. Deepens our love for God. Knowing God rightly fuels true worship and obedience, knowledge that is warmed by love for Christ. 3. How Do Christians Grow in Maturity? Stay in the Word: Maturity requires consistent exposure to Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16–17). Commit to sound doctrine: Do not settle for feel good teaching, pursue truth that accords with godliness (Titus 2:1). Practice discernment: Train yourself by comparing all things to Scripture (Hebrews 5:14). Pray in dependence on the Spirit: Growth is Spirit empowered, not self powered. Stay planted in a local church: Christ gave pastors and teachers to equip His people (Ephesians 4:11–12). Live out what you know: Obedience is the mark of true maturity (James 1:22). Application Are you growing in Christ, or simply coasting? Do you find yourself easily swayed by new trends and teachings, or are you anchored in the truth of God’s Word? The good news is that growth is possible for every believer. By God’s Spirit, we can move from milk to solid food, from immaturity to maturity, from instability to stability in Christ.

Exposing the New Apostolic Reformation: Standing Firm on the True Gospel Anchored in the Word with Dave Jenkins · November 13, 2025 In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins exposes the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)—a modern movement claiming God is restoring apostles and prophets to govern the Church. Dave defines what the NAR teaches, why it’s dangerous, and how Christians can stand firm on the sufficiency of God’s Word. This episode offers a clear, biblical response that points believers back to Christ and His finished work. 🎧 Listen 🎥 Video Show Summary What Is the NAR? A loosely organized movement emphasizing modern apostles and prophets who claim authority over churches and regions. What It Teaches: Ongoing revelation, dominionism (Seven Mountain Mandate), signs and wonders, and “spiritual warfare” over territories. Why It’s Dangerous: Undermines the sufficiency of Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16–17; Hebrews 1:1–2). Confuses apostolic authority (Ephesians 2:20). Promotes a worldly kingdom vision instead of gospel mission (John 18:36). Encourages false prophecy and spiritual abuse (Deuteronomy 18:22; Matthew 24:24). Distracts from the true gospel of Christ crucified (1 Corinthians 15:1–4). Biblical Response: Test everything by Scripture (Acts 17:11; 1 Thessalonians 5:21). Reject self-proclaimed apostles, cling to the ordinary means of grace, and hold fast to the true Head of the Church—Jesus Christ. “Christ is enough. His Word is enough.” — Dave Jenkins Scripture References Galatians 1:8–9 · 2 Timothy 3:16–17 · Hebrews 1:1–2 · John 18:36 · Ephesians 4:11–16 · Deuteronomy 18:22 · Matthew 24:24 For more from Anchored in the Word, please visit our page at Servants of Grace or our YouTube playlist.
Outline Wholehearted Prayer and Zeal (vv. 145–146) — Prayer joined to obedience. Longing for God’s Word (vv. 147–148) — Seeking, hoping, meditating day and night. God’s Nearness amid Opposition (vv. 149–152) — Comfort in His steadfast love and eternal Word.Application God: His Word gives life, truth, comfort. Self: Seek Him with a whole heart in prayer and meditation. Others: Encourage the weary with the nearness of God. Christ: Jesus, the Word made flesh, draws near and gives peace.RespondIf this message encouraged you, please share it, leave a review, and subscribe on YouTube and your favorite podcast app.

How to Stay Rooted in God’s Word When Summer Distracts YouShow SummaryIn this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins explores a timely question:How can Christians stay rooted in Scripture when summer distractions pull at our attention?Vacations, longer days, and busy routines can quietly shift our focus away from God’s Word. But the Bible calls us to be like a tree planted by streams of water (Psalm 1), flourishing in every season. Join us as we look at key passages—Psalm 1, Joshua 1, Colossians 3, and John 15—and draw insights from church history to help you remain anchored in truth.Listen to the EpisodeWatch the EpisodeStaying Rooted in God’s Word This SummerAs summer approaches, routines change, and distractions seem to multiply. Vacations, family time, and longer days often lead to the gentle but dangerous drift away from the spiritual habits we’ve worked hard to build. But even in the busiest season, God's Word remains unchanging.Psalm 1:1–3 paints a picture of a person rooted deeply in God's Word, like a tree planted by streams of water. It doesn’t matter the season—the tree flourishes because it is nourished by something that doesn’t change with the weather. This is the type of spiritual stability that God desires for us, even when life feels chaotic.What does it mean to stay rooted in God’s Word this summer?It means choosing to prioritize Scripture over distraction. It doesn’t mean doing more, but being more intentional about how we engage with God’s Word. Whether you're on vacation or staying home, here are a few simple ways to stay grounded: Plan intentional time in Scripture each day—no matter how small. Use the ESV audio Bibles to stay engaged when traveling. Meditate deeply on a single passage, rather than reading widely. Involve your family in Scripture time, making it a part of your daily rhythm.Resources & Links Visit Servants of Grace YouTube for more Anchored in the Word episodes Find other episodes from Anchored in the Word with Dave.Call to ActionIf this episode encouraged you, please like, subscribe, and share with a friend!Support our ministry by visiting our donation page.

Tradwives, Biblical Womanhood, and the Christian HomeAnchored in the Word with Dave | A Servants of Grace PodcastIn this episode of Anchored in the Word with Dave, Dave Jenkins responds to a listener question about the trending term “tradwife” and how it relates to biblical womanhood and the Christian home.Dave examines this cultural conversation through the lens of Scripture, distinguishing between cultural traditionalism and the biblical complementarity that reflects God’s design for marriage. Whether you're hearing this term for the first time or wrestling with what it means in light of the gospel, this episode offers biblical clarity, wisdom, and grace.🎧 Listen:🎥 Watch:📖 Full Transcript:What Are Tradwives? What Is a Tradwife? Does It Matter?Dave: Welcome to another episode of Servants of Grace! I’m Dave Jenkins, your host, and today’s question comes from a listener who wants to understand more about a term that’s been circulating in online discussions—‘tradwife.’ The listener asks, "What are tradwives? What is a tradwife? Does it matter?"The term 'tradwife' refers to a woman who embraces traditional gender roles, particularly in the context of marriage. But does the idea of a ‘tradwife’ matter, and what does the Bible say about gender roles in marriage? We’ll explore this question today by examining it biblically, theologically, and practically. Let’s dive in.Defining the Term ‘Tradwife’Dave: First, let’s break down what the term ‘tradwife’ means. The word ‘tradwife’ is short for ‘traditional wife.’ It typically refers to a woman who embraces traditional gender roles in marriage—being a homemaker, supporting her husband as the primary breadwinner, and prioritizing family life over a career.The term has gained attention in debates about feminism, gender equality, and family structure. Some view it as a return to “simpler times,” while others see it as a threat to women’s rights. But as Christians, we must ask how this idea aligns with Scripture.Biblical Insights on Gender Roles in MarriageDave: The Bible does teach roles for husbands and wives—not based on culture, but on God's design.Genesis 2:18 — “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”Ephesians 5:22–24 — Wives are called to submit to their husbands as the church submits to Christ.Titus 2:3–5 — Older women are to train younger women to love their husbands, work at home, and be kind.These passages emphasize complementarity, not inequality. The husband leads in sacrificial love; the wife supports with wisdom, strength, and devotion. Homemaking is seen as a noble and God-honoring calling—but it’s not the only biblical option.Theological Considerations of the ‘Tradwife’ ConceptDave: The Bible gives us principles, not rigid molds. Not every Christian family will look the same. While the “tradwife” model reflects some biblical values, it shouldn’t be elevated to a standard for all Christian households.Men and women are equal in worth (Genesis 1:27) but distinct in role. The issue is not whether a wife stays home or works outside the home—it’s whether the marriage as a whole reflects God’s design for love, leadership, and service.Does It Matter?Dave: Yes—but not because of labels. What matters is that husbands and wives live out their God-given roles faithfully. A woman who chooses homemaking in obedience to the Lord is honoring God. A woman who works outside the home but still submits to biblical order can honor Him too.Don’t let the culture define your marriage—let God’s Word do that.ConclusionDave: The tradwife idea isn’t necessarily unbiblical—but it must be measured by Scripture, not nostalgia or culture wars. God’s design is rooted in complementarity, love, and service. That’s where our focus must be.Thanks for listening to this episode of Anchored in the Word.

What Do I Do If I Have Committed Sexual Sin?Anchored in the Word with Dave JenkinsIn this episode, Dave Jenkins addresses what the Bible says about sexual sin, the call to repentance, the assurance of God’s forgiveness, and practical steps to walk in holiness. A biblically grounded message of hope and restoration for anyone struggling with this issue.For biblical guidance on repentance, see Repentance.You can also explore more episodes from Anchored in the Word.Listen to the AudioWatch the VideoUnderstanding Sexual Sin in the BibleFirst, we need to recognize that sexual sin is a serious issue in Scripture. From the very beginning of God’s creation, sexuality has been designed to be a gift, meant to be expressed within the covenant of marriage between one man and one woman. The Bible is clear that anything outside of this—whether it's adultery, fornication, pornography, or lust—is sin.1 Corinthians 6:18-20 — "Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body."Paul’s warning in 1 Corinthians is clear: sexual sin is different because it involves our own bodies. When we sin sexually, we are sinning against the very body that is meant to glorify God. We’re also reminded in this passage that our bodies belong to God. The idea of ‘my body, my choice’ is utterly contradicted by the truth that we have been bought with a price—the precious blood of Jesus Christ.The Call to RepentanceSo, what do you do if you’ve committed sexual sin? The first and most important step is repentance. Repentance is not just feeling bad about what you’ve done, but turning away from sin and turning back to God.1 John 1:9 — "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."God is faithful and just to forgive when we come to Him with a repentant heart. The first step in restoration is to acknowledge your sin before God. There is no sin too great that it cannot be forgiven by the blood of Christ. When you confess your sin, you are agreeing with God about what you’ve done and expressing your desire to turn away from it.Repentance also involves a change of heart—a desire to forsake sin and pursue holiness. True repentance is not just about asking for forgiveness but about actively seeking to turn from the sin and live in obedience to God. In Matthew 5:29-30, Jesus warns that if something causes us to stumble, we should take radical steps to remove it from our lives.Matthew 5:29-30 — "If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away."This is a strong and radical teaching from Jesus. He’s calling us to take drastic measures in removing the sin that entangles us. If your sin is tied to something in your life, whether it’s a relationship, a habit, or even access to certain media, you need to be willing to make changes. Repentance means doing whatever it takes to flee from temptation and sin.The Assurance of Forgiveness and God’s GraceNow, after we’ve repented, it’s crucial to know that forgiveness is certain. If you’ve truly confessed and turned from your sin, God promises to forgive you.Psalm 103:12 — "As far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us."God’s forgiveness is complete. When He forgives us, He removes our sins completely, never to be held against us again. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). So, if you’ve repented, you can rest in the assurance that God has forgiven you. Don’t allow the enemy to bring condemnation into your heart.

Dave unpacks the doctrines of creation and redemption, challenges the lie of autonomy, and provides practical wisdom for living in a way that honors the Lord with our physical bodies.This message is a biblical and theological call to surrender, holiness, and worship in a world obsessed with self.▶️ Audio Player🎥 Video Player🔗 Calls to Action🎧 Listen to more episodes of Anchored in the Word:https://servantsofgrace.org/anchored-in-the-word/❓ Submit your question for a future episode:https://servantsofgrace.org/contact-4/📖 Learn more: 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 on Bible Gateway📖 Read the Full Article BelowYou Are Not Your Own: Honoring God with Your BodyIn today’s culture, the phrase “My body, my choice” is a rallying cry used to defend personal autonomy, particularly in matters of sexuality, identity, and abortion. This mantra elevates self-rule and bodily sovereignty as the highest goods. But does this worldview align with the teaching of Scripture? As Christians, we must ask not what the culture affirms, but what God has revealed.What Does the Bible Say About Our Bodies?From the very beginning of Scripture, we are taught that our bodies are not our own. Genesis 1:26–27 tells us that God created humanity in His image—male and female. That means our bodies are not accidental or meaningless. They were designed with intentionality to reflect God’s glory.Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 6:19–20, “You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” This powerful statement reframes the human body not as a personal possession, but as a temple of the Holy Spirit—purchased by the blood of Christ. We are stewards, not owners.Romans 12:1 reinforces this truth: “Present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.” Christian worship includes not just what we believe or sing but how we live and use our bodies daily.Theological Foundations: Creation and RedemptionAt the core of bodily autonomy is the question of ownership. Scripture provides two clear answers: God owns our bodies by right of creation and by right of redemption.Psalm 139:13–16 tells us that God formed us in the womb. Our existence is not self-determined; it is God-ordained. To claim total control over our own bodies is to reject God’s intimate role as Creator.But not only did God make us, He also redeemed us. Through Jesus’ sacrificial death and bodily resurrection, we are redeemed—body and soul. As Paul explains in 1 Corinthians 6:13, “The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.”In a biblical worldview, bodily autonomy is not ultimate. Surrender to God is.Practical Implications for Christian LivingSelf-ControlGalatians 5:16–17 calls believers to “walk by the Spirit” and not gratify the desires of the flesh. A culture that chants, “My body, my choice” often promotes indulgence and self-will. Scripture calls for self-control and Spirit-empowered discipline.Sanctity of LifeThe slogan “my body, my choice” is often used to justify abortion. But Psalm 139 affirms that life begins in the womb and is God’s handiwork. We are not the authors of life, and we have no right to end what God has begun.Serving Others1 Corinthians 6 reminds us that glorifying God in our bodies means rejecting self-centered living. Christians are called to use their bodies in service to others—to love our neighbors, build up the church, and reflect Christ’s humility.Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)What does the Bible say about bodily autonomy?The Bible teaches that our bodies are not our own. We were created in God's image (Genesis 1:26–27), redeemed by Christ (1 Corinthians 6:19–20), and are to glorify God in body and soul.
📖 Show DescriptionPsalm 110 is the most quoted Old Testament passage in the New Testament—revealing Jesus as both eternal King and Priest. In this episode of Walking Through the Psalms, Dave Jenkins explains how Psalm 110 points to the present reign of Christ, His priestly intercession, and His coming judgment.Jesus reigns now. He rules in the midst of His enemies and offers salvation as our perfect High Priest. This psalm is a call to worship, trust, and follow the risen Lord.🎧 Listen to the Episode🎥 Watch the Episode 📌 Themes Covered Christ’s enthronement and authority The priesthood of Melchizedek fulfilled in Jesus The advancing Kingdom of God The gospel call to joyful allegiance and holy living📖 Related Passages Matthew 22:41–46 Hebrews 7 Philippians 2:9–11🔗 More ResourcesExplore articles, devotionals, and podcasts at servantsofgrace.org for more Christ-centered teaching.📲 Subscribe & Follow Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube @ServantsOfGraceIf this episode encouraged you, please share it with a friend and leave a review. Your support helps others find faithful, biblical teaching. What is the main message of Psalm 110? Psalm 110 reveals Jesus Christ as the eternal Priest-King. It proclaims His sovereign reign, His intercession on behalf of His people, and His final victory and judgment over all nations. The psalm calls every person to submit to Christ as Lord. How does Psalm 110 point to Jesus? Psalm 110 is directly quoted by Jesus in Matthew 22 and referenced multiple times in the New Testament. It speaks of the Messiah seated at God’s right hand and identifies Him as a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek—clearly fulfilled in Christ. What does it mean that Jesus is a priest after the order of Melchizedek? Melchizedek was both king and priest—a rare and prophetic combination. Jesus fulfills this pattern eternally. Unlike the Levitical priests, His priesthood never ends. He is both our King and our perfect High Priest, who intercedes for us before the Father. Why is Psalm 110 the most quoted Old Testament passage in the New Testament? Because Psalm 110 powerfully affirms Jesus’ identity, authority, and role in salvation. It encapsulates the heart of the gospel—Christ reigning and interceding—and connects Old Testament prophecy with New Testament fulfillment.
What Is Fornication? A Biblical and Theological AnswerBy Dave Jenkins In this edition of Anchored in the Word, we answer the question, “What is fornication?” We'll explore what Scripture teaches, why this sin matters so deeply, and how Christians can walk in holiness and purity through Christ.What the Bible Says About FornicationThe Greek word porneia in the New Testament refers to all kinds of sexual immorality outside of marriage. This includes premarital sex, adultery, and more.1 Corinthians 6:18–20 — Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit; we are called to glorify God with them.Matthew 5:27–28 — Jesus warns that even lust in the heart is sinful.Theology Behind FornicationSexual purity isn't just moral—it’s theological. Marriage is a picture of Christ and the Church. Fornication distorts that picture.Ephesians 5:31–32 — Marriage mirrors Christ's covenant with His Bride.1 Thessalonians 4:3–5 — God’s will is our sanctification through sexual purity.Practical Steps to Fight FornicationGuard your heart and mind — Matthew 5:28, Psalm 119:11Seek accountability — James 5:16Flee temptation — 1 Corinthians 6:18God calls us not just to resist sin but to flee from it. In Christ, we find both the power and the grace to do so.ConclusionFornication is a serious offense against God, but His grace is greater. In Christ, there is forgiveness, healing, and power to walk in holiness. Let us pursue purity—not to earn God's love, but because we've already received it through Christ.“You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” — 1 Corinthians 6:20Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is fornication according to the Bible?Fornication refers to sexual activity outside of biblical marriage. The Greek word porneia includes premarital sex, adultery, and other sexual immorality that violates God’s design for purity.Is fornication different from adultery?Yes. Fornication refers to sexual sin outside of marriage, while adultery specifically refers to sexual sin committed by someone who is married with someone who is not their spouse.Can God forgive fornication?Yes. Through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, God offers full forgiveness and transformation. 1 John 1:9 assures us that if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us.Why is fornication considered a sin in Christianity?Fornication distorts God’s design for sex within the covenant of marriage. It violates God’s commands and dishonors the body, which belongs to the Lord (1 Corinthians 6:13–20).What are the consequences of fornication according to Scripture?The Bible warns that sexual sin has both spiritual and relational consequences. It defiles the body, damages trust, and leads to judgment unless repented of (Hebrews 13:4, Galatians 5:19–21).How can someone overcome a struggle with fornication?Through repentance, accountability, renewing the mind in God’s Word, and dependence on the Holy Spirit, believers can overcome sexual sin and grow in holiness (Romans 12:1–2; Galatians 5:16–24).What does the Bible say about sexual purity?The Bible calls all believers to pursue sexual purity as part of sanctification. God’s will is for Christians to honor Him with their bodies and flee all sexual immorality (1 Thessalonians 4:3–5).Is there grace for those who have committed fornication?Yes. God’s grace through Jesus Christ is greater than all sin. Those who confess and turn from fornication will be forgiven, cleansed, and restored (1 John 1:9; Psalm 51:10).Is it still considered fornication if two people are engaged?Yes. According to Scripture, sexual relations are reserved for marriage alone. Engagement is a promise, not a covenant, and sex outside of marriage remains sin in God’s eyes.Does fornication affect one’s relationship with God?Yes. Like all sin, fornication creates a barrier in fellowship with God. However, repentance and confession restore that fellowship through grace (Isaiah 59:2; 1 John 1:9).

In this episode of the Servants of Grace Theology Segment, Dave Jenkins answers a listener’s question: “Why do cults use God falsely in their mission?”Cults often use religious language and biblical imagery to manipulate and control. They twist Scripture, exploit faith, and claim divine authority to lead others into deception. In this episode, Dave unpacks how these spiritual traps work — and how Christians can recognize them and respond with truth, wisdom, and discernment.Audio: Watch Video:What You’ll Learn:How cults use religious language to gain trustWhy leaders invoke God’s name to justify controlCommon tactics: isolation, fear, control, shameBiblical discernment to spot false teachingHow Christians can stand firm in truth and graceScripture References:Matthew 7:15–172 Timothy 4:3–4Galatians 1:6–9Acts 17:112 Timothy 3:16–171 Timothy 4:1Ephesians 6:10–18Subscribe & Follow:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/22CmXpzbz6JYjemSV0CMwt→ Listen and follow us on SpotifyApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/servants-of-grace/id1240932035→ Subscribe and leave a review on AppleYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/servantsofgrace→ Watch episodes and subscribe on YouTubeTheology Segment Archive: https://servantsofgrace.org/servants-of-grace-theology-segment/→ Explore more theology-focused content🙏 Thank you for listening!If this episode encouraged or challenged you, please consider sharing it with a friend, subscribing, and leaving a review on your favorite platform.Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is a cult according to the Bible?While the Bible doesn’t use the word "cult" directly, it repeatedly warns against false prophets, false teachers, and those who distort the gospel (see Matthew 7:15, Galatians 1:6–9, and 2 Timothy 4:3–4). A cult is typically defined as a group that twists core biblical doctrine, adds or subtracts from Scripture, and often elevates a leader to divine authority.How do cults use Scripture to manipulate people?Cults often quote Bible verses out of context, redefine biblical terms, and claim special revelation or authority. They use religious language to gain trust and create spiritual fear, controlling members by making obedience to the group synonymous with obedience to God.How can I spot the signs of a cult?Red flags include: isolation from outside influence, unquestioned authority, fear-based control, altered gospel doctrine, and discouraging independent study of the Bible. Always compare teachings with Scripture (Acts 17:11) and look for humility, accountability, and sound doctrine.What should I do if I suspect someone is in a cult?Pray for them. Be patient and gracious. Engage them with Scripture in context. Focus on the gospel and the sufficiency of Christ. Encourage them to examine the Bible for themselves and connect with a biblically faithful local church.How can I protect myself and my family from spiritual deception?Study God’s Word regularly. Be committed to a local church. Learn sound doctrine. Equip yourself and your family with biblical discernment. As Ephesians 6 reminds us, put on the full armor of God to stand against the schemes of the enemy.
God’s Sovereign Love in Every Season — Psalm 107:33–43On today’s episode, Dave considers Psalm 107:33–43 and how God’s sovereign love sustains His people through every season of life. Whether in times of abundance or difficulty, we are reminded of the Lord’s faithfulness, providence, and unchanging grace.In this passage, we see that God is at work in both trials and blessings — turning rivers into deserts and deserts into flowing springs — always according to His perfect wisdom and steadfast love.What you’ll hear in this episode:– How God displays His sovereignty in both hardship and blessing– The steadfast love of God revealed throughout life’s seasons– Trusting the providence of God in times of change and uncertainty– Encouragement to rest in God’s unchanging character“He turns rivers into a desert, springs of water into thirsty ground…” (Psalm 107:33)Resources mentioned in this episode:– YouTube Psalms Playlist– SermonAudio Psalms Series– More from our Psalms series on Servants of GraceThank you for listening!If you enjoyed today’s episode, please consider:– Subscribing on your favorite podcast platform– Leaving a review to help others find the show– Sharing this episode with a friendSubscribe to the Servants of Grace Podcast:– Apple Podcasts– Spotify– Google Podcasts– YouTube ChannelFor more biblical teaching, theology, and resources, visit Servants of Grace.
In this episode of the Servants of Grace Theology Segment, Dave Jenkins answers a listener’s question:Who was the Witch of Endor, and what does this unusual passage in 1 Samuel 28 mean for Christians today?Dave explores what Scripture says about Saul’s rebellion, God’s judgment, and the ongoing danger of witchcraft and spiritual deception. This episode will help you think biblically about one of the most striking passages in the Old Testament and how it applies today.Who the Witch of Endor was and why Saul sought her outWhat this passage reveals about Saul’s rebellion and God’s judgmentWhether the spirit summoned was truly SamuelWhat the Bible teaches about necromancy and the occultWhy modern spiritualism and occultism still threaten the ChurchAudio Player:Watch Video Here:Scripture Referenced:1 Samuel 28:3–251 Chronicles 10:13Deuteronomy 18:10–131 Peter 5:8John 8:44Featured Quote:“They’re not talking to a beloved departed family member or friend; they are consorting with the demons of hell.”Recommended Resources:The Word Explored by Dave JenkinsDominion and Dynasty by Stephen DempsterSubscribe and Share:Subscribe to the podcast on your favorite platform:Apple PodcastsSpotifyServants of Grace WebsiteThank you for listening or watching this episode of Servants of Grace.Frequently Asked QuestionsWas it really Samuel who appeared to Saul?The text in 1 Samuel 28:12–20 indicates that God permitted the spirit of Samuel to appear—not through the witch’s power but as an act of judgment. The medium was shocked, meaning she did not conjure him by her own abilities. This was a sovereign act of God, not the result of occult power.What does the Bible say about consulting mediums or necromancers?Deuteronomy 18:10–13 strictly forbids consulting mediums, necromancers, or engaging with the occult. These practices are called abominations. Leviticus 20:6 also warns that those who turn to spiritists defile themselves and face God’s judgment. These actions are associated with spiritual deception and rebellion against God.Why did Saul seek the Witch of Endor?Saul sought the Witch of Endor out of desperation after God stopped speaking to him through prophets and dreams (1 Samuel 28:6). Instead of repenting, he turned to forbidden practices. 1 Chronicles 10:13–14 confirms that Saul died for his unfaithfulness, including his decision to consult a medium rather than seek the Lord.Is witchcraft still dangerous today?Yes. Modern occult practices—though often masked as entertainment or “spirituality”—remain spiritually dangerous. Galatians 5:19–21 includes sorcery among the works of the flesh that lead to destruction. 1 Peter 5:8 reminds Christians to be vigilant because the devil seeks to devour. Believers are called to reject these lies and cling to the authority and sufficiency of Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16–17).
Let the Redeemed Say So: Responding to God’s Unfailing Love(Psalm 107:1–32)Episode DescriptionIn this episode, Dave opens Psalm 107:1–32 and reflects on God’s steadfast love revealed in every season of life. Whether wandering in deserts, sitting in darkness, suffering affliction, or weathering storms, one truth remains: the Lord delivers those who cry out to Him.This psalm is a call to the redeemed to remember God’s mercy—and to say so. No matter your circumstances—calm or crisis—this passage reminds us that God’s love never fails. Our response should be one of gratitude and praise.“Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!” – Psalm 107:8Listen Below🎧 Below is the audio player for this episode: Your browser does not support the audio element.Watch the Video Episode Here:Explore More from Our Psalms Series📖 Continue following our series through the Psalms:Psalms Series on Servants of GraceStay Connected with Servants of GraceFollow Us:TwitterInstagramFacebookYouTubeExplore More Resources:Servants of Grace WebsiteSubscribe to the PodcastApple PodcastsSpotifyYouTubeThank you for listening or watching this episode of the Servants of Grace podcast.

Thanks for listening to this week’s episode of Servants of Grace theology segment!
On September 16th, 2001, churches across the United States were packed. It is estimated there was a 40 percent increase in average attendance at Sunday morning services.[i] Americans were gathering in shock, fear, dismay, and sorrow about what had happened five days prior on 9/11. A question was at the front of everyone’s mind: What does it mean?
No doubt, in many of those churches, Psalm 23 was read or referenced. This was certainly the case during the days and weeks following as funerals are where most people encounter King David’s words about the Divine Shepherd. This Psalm is one of the most widely recognized passages of Scripture and the favorite of millions, from professing believers to rare churchgoers. It’s often to these words of God that people turn when in distress, looking for comfort and encouragement.
In this context, the significance of Psalm 23 following Psalm 22 would be missed by many, but it’s not a coincidence that words of distress, such as “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? ...I cry by day, but you do not answer, and by night, but I find no rest” (Psalm 22:1–2), precede promises of comfort and mercy. This is a pattern in Scripture and a template for God’s people in life. Many saints have learned that it’s not until we swim in the “Slough of Despond” (Pilgrim’s Progress, Bunyan) that we savor the sweetness of divine succor.
Frederick III, Zacharias Ursinus, and the Heidelberg Catechism
Dr. Zacharias Ursinus knew this in 1562. That’s when the 28-year-old theology professor at Heidelberg University was asked to draft a new catechism by Frederick III of Simmern, Prince-Elector of the Palatinate, a German-speaking province in the Holy Roman Empire. Frederick had visited churches and schools and discovered congregations had little familiarity with God’s word and even less comprehension of Christian doctrines.[ii]
Frederick’s prescription was for a new catechism to unify the many factions of Protestant churches, provide pastors a tool for outlining their sermons, and serve as an accessible resource to instruct children. A team of professors and ministers joined Dr. Ursinus, crafting a catechism that would meet Frederick’s goals, with the young theology professor as the primary author and Caspar Olevianus, Frederick’s court preacher, the editor of the final composition. The Prince-Elector met with the cohort often. He even contributed to the discussion and signed off on the final draft for Synod approval in 1563 under the title, Catechism, or Christian Instruction, as Conducted in the Churches and Schools of the Electoral Palatinate. That same year the Synod approved the use of the catechism for schools and churches, and after a few minor revisions, the Heidelberg Catechism was included in the Palatinate Church Order and restructured into 52 sections, one for each Lord’s Day of the year. By 1565, it was being widely distributed throughout Germany.[iii]
It’s a Question of Comfort
The tone and purpose of the catechism are established even before one reads the answers. The first question asks, “What is your only comfort in life and in death?” One reason may be the use of personal pronouns in both the psalm and in the catechism, underscoring the intimacy of the covenantal relationship between God and His people. King David pens, “the Lord is my Shepherd”, “he leads me beside the still waters”, “he restores my soul”. “Even though I walk through the valley of the Shadow of Death, you are with me”.
Symptoms of distress and disappointment plague us all, and we yearn for comfort and security. Zacharias Ursinus affirmed the doctrinal foundation of the catechism for church unity and community instruction, yet he also wrote in a commentary on the catechism: “‘Comfort’ is a deliberation of the heart whereby we juxtapose our misery and the grace which Christ earned, so that, in considering that grace, our grief is tempered.”[iv]
Is there an unbridgeable chasm between doctrine and comfort?
In speaking of the nourishment of Scripture, Spurgeon conveyed: “I have many an old book in my library in which there have been book-worms, and I have sometimes amused myself with tracing a worm. I do not know how he gets to the volume originally, but being there he eats his way into it. He bores a hole in a direct line, and sometimes I find that he dies before he gets half-way through the tome. Now and then a worm has eaten his way right through from one wooden cover to another; yes, and through the cover also. This was a most successful book-worm. Few of us can eat our way quite so far. I am one of the book-worms that have not got half-way into my Bible yet; but I am eating my way as fast as I can.” What about you, dear Christian friend? Are you daily eating your way through Scripture for the nourishment of your own soul? One of the greatest struggles of believers is the maintenance of consistent daily devotions. And yet, any neglect of time in the Word or prayer is to devastate our spiritual health. This is an area of life that spiritual discipline must be cultivated in obedience to “exercise yourself unto godliness” (1 Timothy 4:7). Unless we develop a plan for this daily worship, and work it into the priority and routine of everyday life, it will be choked out by the tyranny of “the urgent”. Too often the desire to spend time with our Lord does not translate into consistent practice.
We need this habit to constantly re-tune our hearts to reality, reminding us that “the world passes away” (1 John 2:17). Paul told the Corinthians that “the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal” (2 Corinthians 4:18). A. W. Tozer used to say the Bible world is the real world...when you spend time with the Lord, you're in contact with reality, with the things that matter most, with the things that will last. It is a spiritual war in which we are engaged, even against the laziness of our flesh, and this means of robing ourselves for the battle of each day is a gracious provision by our Lord for us to stand in the evil day (Ephesians 6:10-18).
Further, this daily worship cultivates our relationship with our sovereign Lord, knowing “without Me you can do nothing” (John 15:5). We can't short-circuit the process of developing a relationship. It takes time and effort. If its true in the physical realm, it remains doubly true in the spiritual realm. If we abide in Christ, we can bear fruit for His glory; and if we don't, we won't. This is the most important relationship that deserves and demands the most attention!
Philip Reinders reminds us, “There's more to our struggle with the practice of prayer. The simple truth is we've oriented our lives around other practices. We've already created a form for our lives and have conformed our lives to work deadlines, the pace of parenting, school schedules, media rhythms, and soccer practices. These can be good, and yet the pattern of this world can sabotage a life of prayer—and to live without prayer is to be deformed, no longer conformed to Christ. But all is not lost. We've at least shown the capacity to form some habits, to practice regular routines. The beginnings of a healthy life of prayer are sometimes found in understanding the habit or practice-nature of much of the Christian life.”[i] Learn how much discipline is a part of a sanctified Christian walk. Perhaps you'd go to my YouTube channel for Discipline, a Tool for Godliness[ii] and Daily Discipline of Delighting in Our Devotions.[iii]

In this short message, Dave encourages us from 2 Timothy 1:7 about the fear of God, the work of the Holy Spirit in the Christian life, and to keep going strong in the mission of loving God, and people, and making disciples of Jesus.
In this special message from Dave, he encourages us to look to Christ, to spend time in the Word and in prayer as we eagerly look to the 2 Coming of the Lord Jesus. You can either listen or watch this message by clicking on the video or the audio, or read this message here:
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Before I get started with this article, I want to say how thankful I am for each one of you and for your faithful prayers for Servants of Grace. We not only have an excellent team of writers here at Servants of Grace, but we have wonderful readers and listeners, thank you!
It is around 8pm here in California as I begin to write this article, and here soon, I’ll also put this in audio and video forms. I’ve been praying over the past few days about what to say, and honestly, my heart is sad but hopeful. Sadly, many people are dying from this virus all over the world. Christians should never rejoice at seeing people die, whether they are in America, Europe, or Asia. All people are made in the image and likeness of God and need the grace of God to deliver them from divine punishment. Thankfully Jesus has come and delivered such hope and grace in the gospel He bled, died, and rose for, and now empowers His people to proclaim on mission for Him through the Holy Spirit. It is hope in Christ; I intend to focus on this article.
We don’t know the date our time here on earth is over we just don’t. Hebrews 9:27-28 says this, “And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, 28 so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.” For the Christian, judgment is based on what we have done with the inheritance of Christ, we’ve received by faith in Him. This is why the inspired writer of Hebrews in Hebrews 9:28 says, “those who are eagerly waiting for Him” and in 1 Corinthians 3:12-15. 1 Corinthians 3:12-15 says, “12 Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— 13 each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 14 If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.”
For the non-Christian, this will be far worse. Revelation 20:11-15, “11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. 13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. 14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.”
It’s easy to say as Christians that we believe in the 2nd Coming for the Bible speaks about the 2nd Coming twice as much as it does about the first coming of Jesus. But have you thought about the 2nd Coming of Jesus? I would venture to say yes, but have you thought about it at any depth and any length? Have you given it due consideration as you should? Paul, in 2 Timothy 4:6-8 says, “For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day,
