Taking a short break from Matthew as I was blessed with the opportunity to preach at the church I attend. Preaching out of Psalm 21, I address the topic of our depravity as sinners and God's mercy to rescue us from sin. The topic of the doctrine of election is near and dear to my heart, because of the great security it provides to the heart of the disciple. We should relish in the fact that even though we are painfully not useful, God still saves us, and gives us the opportunity to be a part of His work to call sinners to repentance and mercy.Read Psalm 21 online: https://www.esv.org/Psalm+21/In the sermon, I reference a couple "buckets of verses". All of these can be looked up and read on www.esv.org, as Psalm 21 is above. Below is a list of the verses in these "buckets":Group 1 (referenced in sermon):Romans Romans Genesis Romans Romans 1 John Philippians 1 Corinthians John Romans Romans Romans Romans Genesis Genesis Romans Daniel 31 Kings 18Numbers 16Ephesians John John John Acts Group 2 (for later consumption):Matthew Matthew Mark Luke Luke John Acts Romans Romans Romans Romans Romans Romans 1 Corinthians Galatians Colossians 1 Thessalonians 2 Thessalonians 2 Timothy Titus James 1 Peter 1 Peter 2 Peter 2 John 1,13Revelation I also mention an article from Desiring God's blog, which can be found here:https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/god-grew-up-in-a-forgotten-townAlso as usual, if you are without a church home, the best way to disciple and be discipled is by living and working alongside like-minded believers. Below is a link to the church directory that lists churches of (mostly) like faith and practice to my own:https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/churches/
