Free Getty Hymn for November

The Gettys referred to this month’s hymn, “He Will Hold Me Fast,” as a “unique jewel” to comfort and encourage God’s people while they live out their faith in trying times. Some of the original words were written by Ada Habershonnew, and the melodic basis of the song is from “Be Still My Soul.” Inspired by a sermon on Jude 24, Matt Merker reworked the hymn as a devotional exercise.

But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you… (ESV)

This hymn will redirect hearts that are discouraged to the truth that God is in control and He will preserve us to the end.

A Chronological Look at Prophecy in the Scriptures

In his presentation, “God’s Order of Events,” Evangelist Don Perkins examines Bible prophecy as a whole. He takes a look at several topics that include: what Bible prophecy is, and why we should study it. With an emphasis on various historical ages mentioned in the Scriptures, Perkins gives a concise chronology of the past, present, and future world. You can watch or listen here.

Can it be that the ancient Book of Habakkuk is one of the most relevant books in the Bible for today? Don Smith reminds us how Christ calls His Church to be a beacon of light in the darkness, much like the prophet Habakkuk proclaimed centuries ago. We shine as His beacons as we cling to faith in Him and in His Word. Don says we can rejoice because the invisible hand of God is working for His good pleasure right now in 21st century history. These thoroughly outlined study notes are a companion to Don Smith’s audio series, “A Faith to Cling To.”
