CHRIST IS KING;
THE CHURCH HIS BRIDE
“Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.”
Update
It’s April 2022, and you haven’t heard from me in a while. However, that is about to change! Coming soon, I’ll be posting on a weekly basis as I focus on preparing texts of scripture for sermons. All this is going to help me prepare for what my weekly workload is going to look like once I plant a church and have to do weekly sermon prep. So look for some episodes on Jude coming soon! Thanks for sticking with us. And God bless!
The Incarnation
MERRY CHRISTMAS! Christmas is the time when we celebrate the Incarnation of the Son of God - the Word becoming flesh, and dwelling among us. What does that mean? Why does it matter? What are the ramifications for the rest of humanity now that Jesus Christ is born? The answers are glorious because God is glorious. In this podcast episode, I work through a ton of resources written by the Reformers who searched the scriptures to answers about the natures of Jesus Christ, and the implications of his appearing for the rest of mankind. Jesus Christ is True and Eternal God! Buckle up. This is a long one!
The Gospel & The Heidelberg Catechism
One instrument that has been handed down to us to help Christians supplement their faith, and keep them from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of Jesus Christ, is the catechism. So, today, we are going to focus on my personal favorite, The Heidelberg Catechism.
What is a catechism? According to Webster’s Dictionary 1828, a catechism is "A form of instruction by means of questions and answers, particularly in the principles of religion.” What I find unique in the Heidelberg Catechism’s format is that through the Questions and Answers, the individual is logically taken through the gospel.
Is Thanksgiving Problematic?
Did the Pilgrims come to America, give Indians smallpox blankets, and steal their lands? Did they brutalize the native people of the land in order to get what they wanted? That’s what a lot of people believe today, but it is absolutely a lie. Listen in to this episode where I look at the very birds-eye view of the History of Thanksgiving, and discuss the Church’s responsibility for loudly proclaiming the truth. Happy Thanksgiving!
