In part 4 of our interview with Matthew Emadi we discuss pastoral ministry and the preaching of the Word.

We pick back up with Matthew Emadi, pastor of Crossroads Church, on what is a healthy church. In part 3 we look at the Ordinances of the church and Baptist Congregationalism.

What does it mean that God condescended to covenant with his creatures? How does covenantal theology affect how we read the Bible? This section of our confession moves from first principles to the doctrine of salvation and the largest section of the confession (chapters 7-20). Join us as we begin looking at God's covenant.

We continue our discussion on biblical finances with Caleb Bjerk, one of the members of Covenant Grace Church. In this episode we discuss retirement.

We finish our discussion of chapter six by looking at the effects of the fall on us, our original guilt, and our corruption. This knowledge of ourselves should drive us to look all the more at Christ.

We dive into the first part of chapter six of the confession and discuss the fall of man and original sin. We look at God's decree and man's choice, Eve's deception and Adam's willingness, and our only hope in Christ.

We have our first ever Q&A episode based on submissions through the "Hey Pastor, can you please clarify?" app form. In today's episode we address the questions of where did Lazarus go when he died, how should we think about the Angel of the Lord in the OT, and what do I do when I see the Book of Mormon in a hotel room?

Should pastors or other Christians pursue platforms? What are some of the dangers these present? And what do we mean by porches? We discuss the important role of pastors and members and the danger of elevating personalities.

If God providentially governs all things for the good of the elect to bring them to himself, then how does God's providence apply to the non-elect? We look at this important and heavy doctrine in today's episode. We also take a step back to see how God providentially provides for his church in all things and how that relates to the church's mission on earth.
