The Foundation of Missionary Confidence
Welcome — Is This Course for You?
Do you ever feel that your evangelism is an uphill battle against a culture that doesn’t want to hear? Do you suspect that the modern church’s focus on “decision-making” and “closing the deal” is more about human salesmanship than divine power? If you’ve sensed that modern evangelicalism lacks the steel-spined confidence of the Reformers and the Apostles, you’re not alone—and this course was designed for you.
We are stripping away the sentimentalism that suggests salvation is a joint venture between God and man. Over these lessons, we will engage in Piazza Pedagogy—moving beyond dry classroom theory to confront the bedrock truth of how God actually saves sinners. You won’t just study these doctrines; you will learn how to wield them as the primary weapons of your missionary labor.
What You’ll Gain
Here is how this course will retool your ministry:
-
A Robust Theology of Conversion — You will move past the “decision-making” treadmill to understand how God effectively calls, regenerates, and justifies His own. You will learn why true evangelism is not just persuasion, but a proclamation that carries the power of resurrection.
-
A Cure for Mission Anxiety — You’ll discover that the success of the Great Commission rests on the shoulders of the Sovereign God. This realization will liberate you from the performance-based pressure that leads to burnout and pragmatic compromise.
-
The Root of True Humility — You’ll see that the Doctrines of Grace aren’t just for academic debate; they are the only soil in which genuine, biblical humility grows. When you know salvation is all of God, you stop playing the savior and start being a faithful herald.
-
Theology for the Piazza — We will bridge the gap between high doctrine and daily street-level application. You will learn to use these truths in the broader work of training elders, discipling converts, and planting churches that are built on the rock of Christ’s decree rather than the shifting sands of human preference.
-
Confidence to Discern — You’ll be equipped to spot man-centered ministry models from a mile away and replace them with a Word-centered, Spirit-empowered approach that trusts God for the fruit.
Course Overview at a Glance
-
The Sovereignty of God: Understanding that the field is the Lord’s. He has called us to be His tools in a city He already governs.
-
Total/Radical Depravity: A realistic look at the condition of man—not to lead to despair, but to underscore the necessity of a miracle in every conversion.
-
Unconditional Election: Finding comfort in the fact that God’s choice of a people is not based on the “potential” of a neighborhood, but on His own good pleasure.
-
Limited Atonement/Particular Redemption: The high cost of the mission. Christ died for a specific people, and the mission is the gathering of that inheritance.
-
Irresistible/Efficacious Grace: The power of the Gospel. It doesn’t just “offer” life; it creates it. This is why we preach with authority.
-
Perseverance of the Saints: Pastoral assurance. We don’t just “start” churches; we shepherd men and women toward fruitfulness in all of life.

Closing Remarks
Ready to Begin?
The Doctrines of Grace are not a cage for the mind; they are the wings for the missionary heart. If you are tired of the exhaustion that comes from trying to save people by your own ingenuity, this course will provide the theological backbone you need to labor with joy.
Christ is King, His decree stands, and He is gathering a people for Himself from every tribe and tongue. We aren’t fighting for victory; we are fighting from victory. Let’s get to work.
