Maranatha Teachings

In this episode, we look at the impact the creeds had on the canonization of the New Testament as we examine the Person of the Holy Spirit and his function within the Godhead.

Long before Tolkien put pen to paper, the mightiest king known to mankind promised to return. In the words of the Apostles' Creed: He will come to judge the living and the dead. Join us as we examine Christ's arrival for his bride and the renewal of all things and the implications these truth on our present lives.

Humanity has gone through numerous trials in the past two thousand years, replete with plagues, wars, famines, and natural disasters. The witness of Scripture is that during this same time, Christ has been seated at the Father's right hand in heaven and placed as regent of the universe. Is this just fancy or are things really getting better? What are the practical implications of Christ actively ruling the cosmos and the culmination of the history of the age? Join us as we continue to delve into the treasure trove of truths contained in the reality of Christ's ascension and exaltation.

In the resurrection, Jesus overcame the penalty for humanity's sin. In the ascension, Christ not only returned to his former glory, he also ushered in a new era for mankind. Join us as we follow the Master from his dramatic proclamation during the Feast of Tabernacles that he would pour out the Holy Spirit to his enthronement at the Father's side and see what was set in motion at the beginning of the session of Christ.

In the words of the Apostles' Creed:

He ascended into heaven,

and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

In this episode, we set the groundwork for understanding what was declared and accomplished in the ascendancy and glorification of Jesus the Messiah. Join us as we travel from the gates of Hades to the Mount of God and all the way into the heavens.

Without the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, Christianity would collapse like a house of cards. Our preaching would be found false, our faith in vain, and our sins remaining. But he rose and is alive forevermore! Join us as we examine the reasons why the resurrection was necessary in our continued study of the Apostles' Creed.

In this powerful episode, we conclude our discussion of Christ's conquest over the realm of the dead and the impact it has for the community of faith. Join us as we delve deeper into the underworld and come out on the other side with the Victor.

What was the purpose of Jesus's descent into the underworld? Join us in this lively discussion of Scripture's description of the realm of the dead and the Old Testament saints' view of it.

Aside from the tomb provided by Joseph of Arimathea, where did Jesus go during the three days and nights he was buried? The Apostles' Creed proclaims that he descended to the dead. Join us as we examine this doctrine and what it has meant for New Testament saints ever since.

In the powerful episode, we examine Jesus's defeat of the evil kingdom by way of the cross and how to walk in cruciformity, a life identified with and led by the cross.
