This conversation is sure to encourage you, and the book will do even more for your soul. Be sure to get a copy and make this your next read! Christians know what Jesus Christ has done—but who is he? What is his deepest heart for his people, weary and faltering on their journey toward heaven? Jesus said he is “gentle and lowly in heart.” This book reflects on these words, opening up a neglected yet central truth about who he is for sinners and sufferers today.

Joe and Jimmy are back, talking about the power of God. Is it true that God wouldn't call us to do something we are incapable of doing? How do we experience his divine power? Is it necessary for the Christian life? Plus, The Doctrine and Devotion Conference in New Zealand, and Joe makes a “duty” joke.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Family, career, people, hobbies—what is most important to us in life? What comes first? The Christian says God comes first. The first Q&A of the Baptist Catechism explicitly says, “God is the first and chiefest being.” What does it mean to say God is “first”? What are the implications for us who understand this truth? RESOURCES (see show notes linked below) THE 2020 DOCTRINE AND DEVOTION CONFERENCE Doctrine and Devotion's fourth annual conference is Friday, September 18 and Saturday, September 19, 2020 in St. Charles, IL.
