Special Series – Wretched John – Episode 4 – Prone to Wander
Nov 2, 202100:26:48Tap to summarizeEscaping the horrendous North Atlantic storm that nearly took his life, John emerged with a newfound faith in Christ. But the days ahead were far from smooth sailing. As with many new believers, those early first steps of following Christ are filled with faltering stumbles of spiritual immaturity and well laid snares by an unseen enemy. But them all, God is able to recover John again and again and by astounding providences bring him to a place of obtaining the love of his life.

Sep 3, 202100:23:00Tap to summarizeOver 250 years ago, wooden boats powered by canvas sails tried the seas with no assurances that they would ever set foot on solid ground again. On the high seas, sailors at the mercy of rolling waves and raging storms, do what have done since the days of Jonah, they cry out to God. Such was the case with a blasphemous deckhand named John. At first, he hesitated, considering how he had forsaken God so long ago for a life abandoned to wickedness. But cry John did. And the Lord heard that cry, reaching down with a tender hand of love and grace and not only saved John from the storm, but rescued his life from the depths of sin. An act of God that would eventually impact much of the known world for centuries to come. The post Special Series – Wretched John – Episode 1 – Out to Sea appeared first on Forgotten.

Aug 31, 202100:02:22Tap to summarizeIf there was ever an individual who fit the description of being a wretch, it was John. From the age of eleven he sailed the high seas, picking up every depraved behavior that an 18th century deckhand was willing to share. He was an insubordinate and disrespected member of the English Navy, twice charged with desertion. His active participation in the African slave trade and his horrific treatment of them was abhorrent. On top of all this, his complete and utter disregard for the God of the Bible, a love for which his mother desperately tried to instill in his childish mind before her untimely death, justly deserved a thunderous bolt of lightning hurled from the heights of heaven to devour his puny frame and dispatch him into the charred walls of the damned. But instead of a blazing judgment, this maligned God of heaven unexpectedly reached out and touched the heart of John with a hand of grace and mercy. And in doing, so impacted the lives of Christian believers not only of his generation, but for centuries to come.
