PAPACY on SermonAudio

A study of Paragraph 4 of the 1689 Confession's chapter on the church, drawing from Ephesians 1. The lesson defends the sole headship of Christ over His church against historical claims by Roman Catholicism (the Pope) and the Church of England (the monarch) to that office. It walks through the Reformers' reasoning for identifying the papacy as the Antichrist — clarifying that they meant the office and its succession rather than any single man — and closes with the practical weight of Christ's kingship: that His people must submit to His Word alone in the government, worship, discipline, and ordering of the church, rather than doing things their own way.

A super wide ranging 75 minute program today covering everything from working out in your mid sixties to the collapse of the Black family, the repeal of the 19th Amendment, the evolution of the Papacy, and Jacob Hansen the neo-Mormon on Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey. A little something for everyone on today's program!

Most professing Christians today hold to Arminian views, often assuming the debate between Calvinism and Arminianism is merely a secondary issue or a sort of "family squabble." But is it much more serious than that? In this episode of The Conquering Truth, we explore why the Reformers saw the doctrines of Arminianism not just as a mistake, but as a fundamental rejection of the biblical Gospel.When Martin Luther debated Erasmus, the core issue wasn't the corruption of the papacy—it was the nature of God's election and the bondage of the will. Does God choose man, or does man choose God? We dive into the outline of Arminianism to show how it changes the very nature of God, turning the Creator into a "slave" to man's choices and stripping Him of His glory.We also want to be very clear that this does not mean that everyone who has been taught or who holds to some form of Arminian doctrine is an unsaved heretic. But it does not help anyone to treat these doctrinal differences as if they are minor. There are wolves in and among the church who use these heresies to divide the church and to weaken the gospel. While our desire should always be unity, it should always be unity through truth, with the expectation that the spirit of Truth will guide those whom He indwells.
