    Ep. 8 - Packer's Knowing God - God Unchanging

    DOCTRINICITY — Episode 8 God Unchanging | J.I. Packer’s Knowing God, Chapter 7 What if the God you knew yesterday is the same God you can trust today—and will be the same God tomorrow? Pastors Collin Kerrigan and Keith Wibbels continue their journey through J.I. Packer’s Knowing God, bringing the great ideas of the Christian tradition under the authority of Scripture and asking the question that matters: So what? How does this change Monday morning? In Episode 8, we turn to Chapter 7, “God Unchanging,” and consider one of the most stabilizing truths in all of Scripture: God does not change. His character does not evolve. His purposes do not shift. His promises do not expire. The God who revealed Himself in Scripture is the God who remains faithful in every generation. But if God is unchanging, what does that mean for us in a world where everything seems to change? What does God's immutability mean when our circumstances change, our relationships change, our culture changes, and even we ourselves change? And how does knowing that God cannot change give us confidence when life feels uncertain? Collin and Keith explore the practical implications of an unchanging God, considering how His immutability grounds our faith, strengthens our assurance, shapes our prayers, corrects our expectations, and gives us hope when everything around us seems unstable. Because our confidence isn't found in a world that stays the same. It's found in a God who does. You're invited to Study deeply. Think biblically. Live faithfully.

    Ep. 7 - Packer's Knowing God - He Shall Testify

    DOCTRINICITY — Episode 7 He Shall Testify | J.I. Packer’s Knowing God, Chapter 6 How do we know that Jesus is who He says He is—and how does the Holy Spirit make that truth real to us? Pastors Collin Kerrigan and Keith Wibbels continue their journey through J.I. Packer’s Knowing God, bringing the great ideas of the Christian tradition under the authority of Scripture and asking the question that matters: So what? How does this change Monday morning? In Episode 7, we turn to Chapter 6, “He Shall Testify,” and consider the person and work of the Holy Spirit. Jesus promised that when the Spirit came, “He will bear witness about me” (John 15:26). The Spirit does not draw attention away from Christ, but bears witness to Christ—opening our eyes to the truth of the gospel and making us increasingly aware of the reality of Christ in our lives. What does it mean for the Holy Spirit to testify? How does the Spirit bear witness to Christ through Scripture? How does His work give us assurance, expose sin, strengthen faith, and empower us to live as witnesses ourselves? Collin and Keith explore the often-misunderstood ministry of the Holy Spirit, asking what it means to know God not merely as an idea, but through the Spirit who reveals Christ, applies His work to us, and transforms us from the inside out. Because the Christian life isn't sustained by our ability to manufacture faith, courage, or holiness. The Spirit Himself bears witness to Christ—and empowers us to bear witness to Him. You're invited to Study deeply. Think biblically. Live faithfully.
