Episode Synopsis

🎧 Podcast Show NotesTitle: The Dones and WonsPassage: Hebrews 6:4–12Speaker: Rob BerrethDate: 05/11/2025Episode Summary:In one of the most sobering and debated passages in all of Scripture, Hebrews 6:4–12 confronts us with weighty truths about salvation, repentance, and assurance. Can a Christian lose their salvation? When is repentance impossible? Can I actually know I’m saved? With pastoral clarity and Gospel hope, this sermon explores these questions and helps us see the beauty of God’s preserving grace. Once saved, always saved—and if truly saved, fruit will follow.Main Points:Can Christians lose their salvation?➝ No. Scripture teaches the perseverance of the saints—those God saves, He keeps.When is saving repentance impossible?➝ It becomes impossible for those who decisively and permanently reject Christ after being exposed to the truth.Can I actually know I’m saved?➝ Yes! Assurance is real and grounded in both our fruit and, even more, God's unshakeable grip on us.Key Quotes:“Once saved, always saved—and if saved, fruit will follow.”“Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than sticking your head in the oven makes you a biscuit.”“Jesus will never stiff-arm anyone who wants to come home.”Resources Mentioned:Gentle and Lowly by Dane OrtlundWestminster Confession of Faith, Chapter 18For more sermons like these, visit our website or join us in person. 📍 Location and Contact Redeemer Church 📍 211 Northshore Drive, Bellingham, WA 98226 🌐 redeemernw.org
