Two astonishing teachings of the NT, Christ’s incarnation and self-emptying, are crucial for appreciating the human life Jesus lived.
Just what are the central and essential elements that make up the Church of Jesus Christ? We’ll consider these to see more clearly what any church, every church, needs to embrace.
We will explore a number of practical areas that are impacted by one’s understanding of divine providence. How do God’s providential purposes relate to prayer, evangelism, salvation assurance and guidance?
How do God’s providential purposes and workings relate to human suffering?
Scripture testifies remarkably to God’s providential workings in the events of the natural world, in the actions and events of kingdoms and nations, and in a manner that includes all that happens in life. We’ll consider biblical teaching on God’s providential workings more specifically in the good that happens in life as well as in what is bad. We may or may not be able to understand just how God works in both realms, but Scripture is clear in indicating that he does. So, while God is good and good alone, he exerts his control over both the good and bad of life.
Is it the case that God’s providential purposes may include what free-will creatures choose and do? Scripture again gives us wonderful examples and clear teaching that indeed the free-will choices we make do not stand outside of God’s providential workings but are part of what he uses to bring about his good and wise purposes.

The Mission of the church involves both vertical and horizontal reconciliation – calling sinners to repent, believe, and be reconciled to their glorious Creator God, and calling believers to unite in love with our brothers and sisters in the body of Christ.
