• SERMON: The Atonement - Doctrine Pt VII
    Jul 25 2021
    We take a look at all of the major theories and ideas about what Jesus accomplished on the cross and make the argument that we need them all in order to have a full picture of what happened - except for one. The picture of Penal Substitutionary Atonement that we have inherited is flawed and must be understood in light of the Biblical narrative.

  • SERMON: Creator of Heaven and Earth - Doctrine pt III
    Jun 27 2021
    Today we deal with the doctrine of creation and how it stood (and stands) in opposition to the many competing religions and narratives of the world.

  • SERMON: "God, the Father Almighty" - Doctrine pt II
    Jun 20 2021
    This week, we look at the reasons for and implications of calling God "Father" and describing him as "Almighty." Too often, both are abstracted from their biblical contexts and the revelation that God gives us through Jesus. If we are going to be true to the original message, we must come to an understanding of God that is rooted in the Biblical text and the witness of the earliest Christians.

  • SERMON: Romans
    Jun 6 2021
    For most Protestants, we have inherited a view of Romans from Luther and the Reformation that focuses on justification. But justification is not the point of Romans. It is the premise on which Paul builds his larger, more important point - The Unity of the Church. Support this podcast
