Mercy for Those Who Doubt

Hi, this is John, and today on Theocast, we are having a simple conversation between two people.

00:00:09

Those who want to justify their sin and say it's okay, I don't need to repent.

00:00:15

God is fine with me.

00:00:16

And those who can't seem to find encouragement, you are so weak and discouraged.

00:00:21

How could God ever love me and save me?

00:00:25

We definitely want to talk about the law and the gospel for those who are weary and can't find hope in Christ.

00:00:32

Stay tuned.

Welcome to Theocast, encouraging weary pilgrims to rest in Christ.

00:01:04

Conversations about the Christian life, as complicated as they may be from a reformed and pastoral perspective.

00:01:11

Hopefully, not that complicated.

00:01:12

Oh, they are very complicated these days because sins still exist.

00:01:17

Your host today, Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina.

00:01:21

And I am John Moffat.

00:01:23

I'm pastor of Grace Reform Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee.

00:01:26

And Justin, we have a couple of announcements we just want to remind people of if they care to partake.

00:01:32

Remind the people, John.
