    Why It’s Essential for Christians to Have a Biblical Worldview

    As we begin a new year, this episode of Anchored in the Word focuses on why having a biblical worldview is essential for the Christian life. Every one of us interprets the world through a lens—our worldview—and Scripture provides the only true and trustworthy foundation for how we think, live, and engage with the culture around us. In this episode, Dave Jenkins examines: • How a biblical worldview anchors our thinking • How Scripture equips us to navigate culture faithfully • How God's Word shapes morality, ethics, and decision-making • How worldview fuels our mission and witness for Christ Using passages such as Romans 12:2, Psalm 119:105, John 17:17, and Matthew 28:19–20, this teaching encourages Christians to stand firm on the truth of God's Word, renew their minds daily, and live with clarity and conviction in a confused world. As you enter this new year, may the Word of God be your foundation, your clarity, and your anchor.

    The Transforming Power of Grace: How the Gospel Changes Us

    In today's episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins explores how the grace of God doesn't merely forgive it transforms. Drawing from Titus 2:11–14, this episode explains how the gospel saves, trains, and sustains believers for a life of holiness and gratitude to Christ. Grace: • Appears in the gospel — Jesus Christ makes grace visible. • Saves us completely — salvation is God's work from beginning to end. • Trains us to live differently — true grace leads to holiness, not compromise. • Points us to eternal hope — the same grace that saved us will bring us home. Scripture teaches that grace is not passive. It is powerful. It reshapes our desires, fuels obedience rooted in gratitude, and anchors our hope in Christ. "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness…" — Titus 2:11–12 Grace redeems our past, shapes our present, and directs our hearts toward the glory to come.

    The Cross: Where Justice and Mercy Meet

    In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins takes us to the heart of the gospel—the cross of Jesus Christ. At the cross, the love of God and the justice of God meet in perfect harmony. It is where sin was dealt with, wrath was satisfied, and mercy was made available to all who repent and believe. The cross reveals the holiness of God, displays His love, and demonstrates the great exchange Christ bearing our sin so that we might be declared righteous. 📖 Key Scriptures: Romans 5:8 • Romans 6:23 • John 3:16 • 2 Corinthians 5:21 • Romans 5:10 Main Themes: • The cross reveals the justice of God. • The cross displays the love of God. • The cross demonstrates the substitution of Christ. • The cross brings reconciliation and peace with God. Reflection: The cross is not just a symbol but the centerpiece of God's redemptive plan. It reminds us that salvation is not earned but given justice satisfied, mercy poured out, and grace reigning through righteousness. 📖 "But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." — Romans 5:8 📱 Learn more at: servantsofgrace.org

    Exposing the New Apostolic Reformation: Standing Firm on the True Gospel

    In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins exposes the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) a movement claiming modern apostles and prophets with new revelation from God. Dave explains its origins, core teachings, and why it poses a serious threat to biblical Christianity. The NAR undermines the sufficiency of Scripture, confuses apostolic authority, and replaces gospel-centered ministry with worldly dominionism and false prophecy. Using passages like Galatians 1:8–9, 2 Timothy 3:16–17, and Hebrews 1:1–2, Dave contrasts these errors with the unchanging truth of God's Word. Key Points: • What the New Apostolic Reformation teaches about apostles, prophets, and authority • Why NAR theology contradicts the gospel of grace • How Christians can discern truth and stand firm in Scripture Scripture References: Galatians 1:8–9 · 2 Timothy 3:16–17 · Hebrews 1:1–2 · John 18:36 · Ephesians 4:11–16 For more from Anchored in the Word with Dave please visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/anchored-in-the-wordpage/
