MEET PATRICK
A pastor at heart.
A student of the Word.
I’m Patrick Ransom, a pastor, husband, Bible teacher, and author. My desire is to help people understand what Scripture says, why it matters, and how it shapes the way we live.
I hold a Master of Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary. Studying the Bible has shaped my life, but pastoral ministry continues to teach me something I need every day: I depend on Jesus, not simply on what I know or what I can do.
I’m grateful to share that journey with my wife and the people God has placed in my life.
Teaching truth. Loving well.
My approach is to pay close attention to the biblical text, understand it in context, and explain it clearly. Careful study should lead us toward trust in Christ and love for the people around us.
Spend time in the WordWHAT GUIDES MY TEACHING
Conviction, expressed with care.
These convictions shape how I read Scripture, teach, and serve. Open a topic for a brief summary and Scripture references.
The authority of Scripture
The Bible is God’s inspired Word, without error in its original manuscripts. It is our authority for faith and life, revealing Christ and equipping us to serve.
2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21; Luke 24:27
The triune God
There is one God, eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each person fully shares the divine nature and is worthy of our worship.
Matthew 28:19; John 1:1–14; 2 Corinthians 13:14
Jesus Christ
Jesus is fully God and fully human, without sin. He died for our sins, rose bodily, and now intercedes for His people.
John 1:1–18; 1 Peter 3:18; Hebrews 7:25
Salvation through Christ alone
Sin separates us from God. Salvation is His gift of grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ, whose finished work is sufficient. Our works cannot earn it.
John 3:16–18; Ephesians 2:8–9; Titus 3:5
The church and our hope
Believers belong to Christ’s body and are called to love one another and make Him known. We await His personal return and eternal life in His presence.
1 Corinthians 12:12–27; Matthew 28:18–20; John 14:1–3
