What is regeneration? Scripture teaches that salvation involves more than forgiveness of sins. Because sinners are spiritually dead, God must give them spiritual life. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains the biblical doctrine of regeneration: the sovereign work of God by which He makes spiritually dead sinners alive, gives them a new heart, and enables them to repent, believe, and follow Christ. In this episode, you will learn: • Why humanity's deepest problem is spiritual death • What it means to be born again • Why regeneration is God's work of grace, not self-improvement • How new desires and growing obedience flow from new life in Christ Key Scriptures: John 3:3–8; Titus 3:4–7; Ephesians 2:1–10.

Jeremiah's Courage and Confidence
The sermon introduces the second major section of the Book of Jeremiah, contrasting the earlier focus on national dismantling with a new emphasis on hope and divine deliverance. It examines Jeremiah 26, where the prophet faces a death sentence for his temple sermon but responds with unwavering confidence in God's sovereignty rather than lamentation. The narrative highlights how God raises up unexpected helpers, such as officials and elders, to spare Jeremiah's life and prevent the nation from bearing the guilt of murdering a faithful messenger. This passage illustrates the multifaceted nature of Jeremiah's ministry, showing him as both inwardly compassionate for his people and outwardly stalwart in proclaiming God's word. Ultimately, the message encourages believers to trust in God's protection and purpose even amidst severe opposition and impending judgment.

The Contagion of Compromise
How can compromise in our lives affect the people around us? This week, Pastor Ric continues our First Things First series with a message from Haggai 2 titled, "The Contagion of Compromise." Haggai reminds God's people that while holiness cannot simply be transferred through contact, uncleanness can spread. Our outward actions may look right, but God sees beyond appearances and looks directly at the heart. When sin takes root within us, it can affect our choices, our relationships, and our influence on the world around us. But God does not leave us trapped in our uncleanness. Through repentance, He offers us a new heart and a new life. Join us as we examine our hearts, recognize the impact of compromise, and discover how only Jesus can cleanse us, change us, and lead us from death to new life.
