Beggars at the Gate

We begin our series on the Ten Words, or Ten Commandments, by looking at the law/gospel distinction. This is central to how we understand not only the law and the gospel but how we understand Scripture as a whole and how we live life together before the Lord.

The new year is often a time of hope and longing for change. It’s also a time to look back on the year that was. We talk through various aspects of this and how the most important thing is to look to Jesus.

We relax a little and talk about our own Christmas traditions before talking about a variety of questions Christians have about Christmas. Can we celebrate it? How should we celebrate? What about Santa or candlelight services? We discuss these and many more.

Jesus is our mediator. What does that mean? Who does he mediate for and how does he do it? The mediation of Christ is our comfort and hope as Christians and why Jesus came and took on flesh.

What does it mean that Jesus is called our Immanuel, God with us? On our second advent episode we discuss why we needed this promise, how Jesus fulfilled it, and what that means for us every day and how this is the heart of the gospel.

Why did God the Son, the second person of the Trinity, take on flesh and come to us? We discuss a few of the biblical reasons why Jesus came to earth and why it means so much for us. Join us as we begin our advent series on the incarnation of Christ and what he’s done for us.

What is the will of God for your life? To be thankful in all circumstances! What is thanksgiving? What isn't it? And how can we be thankful in the midst of hardship?

We finish up our series on the five Solas by looking at the culmination of the gospel and the most practical aim of all theology - the glory of God. We talk about what the glory of God is, how it's the center of the gospel, and what man-centered theology looks like, and a lot more.

In part 4 of our series through the five Solas of the Reformation we look at Sola Gratia, grace alone. What is grace? How are we prone to misunderstand this doctrine? Many in our culture claim to believe in grace, but is it the same grace the Bible talks about? This and more in our episode.

In part 3 of our series through the five Solas of the reformation we take on Sola Fide. Is this really the doctrine on which the church stands or falls? What does it mean to be saved or justified by faith alone? What are some of the modern challenges to this doctrine? And how important is this to our daily walk with the Lord?
