Being a Disciple or a Spectator: A study of Assurance and Apostasy

How do Christians know that they are saved: From whence comes our assurance of Salvation?
Pastor Stoos uses the lessons surrounding the selection by Jesus of His twelve Apostles, including the traitor Judas to help the Saints know that they are secure in the hands of Jesus.
The challenge is to be disciples and not merely spectators, knowing that God has chosen us to be His children. Pastor Stoos uses the prayers of Jesus to show that all who the Father has given Him are secure not because of what we have or anything that we have done, but because Jesus prays to His Father asking Him to keep us and then promises that He will keep us, sending the gift of the Holy Spirit.
The order of worship for this service includes information on the Biblical uses of the number twelve and the names and background of the Apostles.
