The Bible has been translated into different languages throughout history... but how did we end up with many different English translations and how do we know which one to read?

In this episode, we describe the different English Bible translations, as well as discuss how Providence chose the ESV Bible to preach from each Sunday and which translations would be helpful for personal study.

May 11, 2022141 - How to Take Communion
We take the Lord's Supper, or communion, every Sunday, but we can easily take it for granted and lessen its significance.

In this week's episode on the Christian Formation podcast, we discuss why we observe communion the way we do and what to think about when observing communion.

May 04, 2022140 - Communion: 4 Different Views Today
At Providence, we practice the Lord's Supper differently than say the Catholic Church down the street or the Lutheran church on the other side of town... but why?

In this episode, we explain the four different views of communion—Transubstantiation (Roman Catholic wiew), Consubstantiation (Martin Luther's view), Reformed (John Calvin's view), and Memorialism (Zwingli/Baptist/Our view).

For further study on these views, check out this article from The Gospel Coalition.
