The gospel is good news for all people, in all lands, at all times. The call of the church is to obey Christ’s command to teach the nations obedience to Him, as the King of all the earth. The great promise of the prophet Hosea is that the knowledge of the glory of the Lord shall cover the earth as water covers the sea. But between the commencement of Christ’s kingly rule of earth and the day when he comes again to judge the living and the dead, there will be ebbs and flows.

While initially in the gospel’s advance it centered in Jerusalem, and then took root in the West, we see in more recent decades how the gospel is rapidly advancing in South America and in the Eastern lands. But oftentimes, Christians in the West are often unsure of how to take the gospel and share it with their fellow Westerners; but more so are stumped by how to share the good news with those from very different cultures and religions.

Missions Conference 2022 is intended to help answer those questions, while equipping the saints where they are to be ready to share the word with not only their neighbor but the foreigner in their midst as well.

Francis Foucachon joins Ben Zornes to discuss Scripture’s imprint and impact in the lives of the Huguenot reformers and families in the 16th and 17th centuries. Francis explains how the Bible was the center of their lives and so treasured that they were willing to die in order to keep them. He also shares two very interesting places where Huguenots would hide their Bibles from the dragoons.

Fast forward to today and there are 300 million people in the world who speak French and the Church in Francophone West Africa is rapidly growing. However, these new believers and pastors desperately need biblical teaching and theological education in their own language. In partnership with Third Millennium Ministries, Francis explains how he has been laboring to provide solid resources for the French-speaking Church worldwide.

Francis is an elder at Christ Church and began Huguenot Heritage in partnership with Third Millennium Ministries in order to “equip French-speaking layman and pastors in practical theology to be God’s instrument to bring about a new Reformation and Revival.”

From Sorrow and Depression to Joy and Celebration

Ben Zornes on

 

Psalm 42-43

1. Depression can be a bigger giant than Goliath.

2. The difference between two kinds of “why?,” and the ongoing battle
between our old nature and our new nature in Christ.

3. In God only we trust! The ultimate cause of all spiritual depression is
unbelief.

4. The ultimate remedy of depression is worship.
