Gods Providence and Our Peace
Wednesday, November 5, 2025 • Duration 17:19
In this episode of Equipping You in Grace, Dave Jenkins teaches on how the providence of God anchors the believer's heart in peace. Drawing from Romans 8:28 and Matthew 6:25-34, Dave explains that providence is not a distant theological concept but the very foundation of Christian gratitude and calm in anxious times. True peace flows from trusting that every circumstance joyful or hard comes from the Father's wise and loving hand. Through Scripture, church history, and biblical application, we learn that: • Providence Defined: God sovereignly works all things for our good (Romans 8:28). • Providence Applied: Jesus frees us from worry through the Father's care (Matthew 6). • Providence Experienced: Saints through the ages rest in God's faithful providence.

The Reformation and the Recovery of the Gospel
Monday, October 20, 2025 • Duration 27:39
In this Equipping You in Grace episode, Dave Jenkins explores Galatians 1:6–10 and shows that at the heart of the Reformation was the recovery of the one true gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul warned the Galatians that turning to a different gospel was deserting Christ Himself. Likewise, the Reformers stood against centuries of distortion and boldly proclaimed salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone according to Scripture alone, to the glory of God alone. Listeners will discover: • The danger of a distorted gospel and why a gospel mixed with works is no gospel at all. • The finality of the true gospel and why it cannot be changed by men or angels. • The courage of those who stand on truth, like Paul and the Reformers, whose consciences were bound to God's Word. Dave also applies these truths to the modern church, reminding us that every generation faces false gospels—whether moralism, therapeutic spirituality, or prosperity teaching. The call remains the same: stand firm in the gospel of grace. ________________________________________ Find more from Servants of Grace: 🌐 https://servantsofgrace.org 📺 Watch on YouTube: Equipping You in Grace with Dave Jenkins 🎧 Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts: https://servantsofgrace.org/equipping-you-in-grace-2/
