Kitchen Table Theology
Where Coffee, Conversation, and Theology Meet. During my 40 years in ministry, I’ve developed an increasing burden for what I sense to be an increase in biblical illiteracy, not only among those in our churches, but also in the young men and women entering the ministry. Conversely, I am hopeful, because I also sense a hunger from people to learn and know biblical truth and the things of God has revealed to us in Scripture. Our Kitchen Table Theology team has developed a list of over 150 doctrinal topics which I, along with one of my cohosts, Jen Denton or Tiffany Coker, examine weekly. Our goal is to educate and share biblical truth on the same level as if we were sitting at your kitchen table with a Bible and a pot of southern pecan coffee in front of us. Welcome to the table!

262 God's Faithfulness: The Promise Keeper Who Never Fails
When life gets challenging, it’s easy to question whether God will truly keep His word. But Scripture reminds us that His promises never fail. This week’s episode is a throwback to a past episode with Pastor Jeff and Jen Denton on the steadfast faithfulness of God, why we can trust Him completely, how His promises endure through every trial, and what it means to experience His presence even in seasons of affliction.
What We Discussed
02:47 Old Faithful and the Faithful God
Jen compares Yellowstone’s Old Faithful geyser to God’s unwavering dependability, sharing its history and why its regular eruption reflects the idea of faithfulness in creation.
05:27 Defining God’s Faithfulness
Pastor Jeff defines faithfulness as God’s unchanging reliability to do what He has said and fulfill what He has promised: An essential attribute of His perfect character.
07:04 Faithfulness in Action through Scripture
They explore biblical examples showing God’s faithfulness in His promises (Hebrews 10:23), protection (1 Corinthians 10:13), answered prayer (Psalm 143:1), and forgiveness (1 John 1:9).
09:29 Faithful Even in Affliction
Pastor Jeff and Jen discuss Psalm 119:75. “In faithfulness You have afflicted me” and how God uses suffering to strengthen our faith and teach obedience.
11:02 Called by a Faithful God
Pastor Jeff shares how Jeremiah 1 and Joshua 1:9 shaped his calling to ministry as a teenager, and how God proved faithful through fear and uncertainty.
14:30 Daily Mercies and God’s Provision
Jen reflects on how God’s mercies are new every morning and how He draws near to those who seek Him, especially in times of uncertainty.
15:13 Faithfulness Beyond Presence
Pastor Jeff clarifies that God’s faithfulness is not merely being present but acting to keep every promise He has made.
16:13 The Greatest Promise: Salvation in Christ
Pastor Jeff closes with Romans 10:13: “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” God’s ultimate faithfulness is seen in our salvation through Jesus Christ.
“God’s faithfulness isn’t just that He’s there, it’s that He keeps His word every single time.” – Pastor Jeff Cranston
