Intro/Teaser - CTF 2026 - Understanding God's Decree
This introductory segment promotes the 2026 Confessing the Faith conference hosted by Free Grace Baptist Church in Chilliwack, BC, which will address 1689 London Baptist Confession Chapter 3 on the decree of God. The conference follows a sequential exposition of the confession, having previously covered the doctrine of Scripture (Chapter 1) and the doctrine of God and the Holy Trinity (Chapter 2). Featured speakers include Dr. Jim Renahan and Dr. Richard Barcelos of the International Reformed Baptist Seminary, alongside Pastor David Charles, who will offer a pastoral reflection on how the doctrine of divine decree is to be taught, embraced, and preached. The segment frames the doctrine of God's decree as foundational to Christian stability, peace, and worship, contending that what believers face in this world is governed by the sovereign God who has ordained whatsoever comes to pass for His glory and the good of His people.
What Is Confessing the Faith 2026? | Understanding God's Decree | Reformed Baptist
This episode of Ask Free Grace Baptist Church introduces the 2026 Confessing the Faith conference (April 10–11, Chilliwack, BC), which will focus on 1689 London Baptist Confession chapter 3, the doctrine of God's decree. Three speakers — Dr. Jim Renihan and Dr. Richard Barcelos of the International Reformed Baptist Seminary, and Pastor David Charles — will address the biblical, historical, and pastoral dimensions of the decree. The conversation explains why the doctrine matters: God's sovereign ordination of all things is not fate or impersonal force but the purposeful governance of the God revealed in Scripture, producing stability, peace, and worship in his people.
