The guys open up The 1689 Confession to chapter 17 to begin discussing the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints. How is this doctrine different from “eternal security”?

Today Jimmy and Joe talk about why some people in local churches “fall through the cracks.” Why do some people struggle to “plug in,” develop relationships, and feel like they are a real part of the church? What is a church’s responsibility to lead people into community, and how do we commonly fail? What can people who feel disconnected do to press in where they are feeling left out?Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
