Unity is an abused term in the church today. Yes, we need unity but never at the cost of purity. We must fight for both. Today, pastor Dale Partridge looks to Ephesians 4:1-6 to extract a biblical definition of unity. But more than that, this passage of Scripture presents the grounds for our earthly unity—our unified bond with Christ.

 How are we to pray when our hearts are troubled? When we lose hope and fear takes hold of us, how are we to come to God in petition? In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge looks to Ephesians 3:14-21 to exposit what has been called by many theologians “the boldest prayer ever prayed.” Together, Dale will take you verse by verse to extract the theological meaning and application for the modern Christian.

God wants us to know the immeasurable riches of His grace. He wants us to know the magnificence of Christ. However, we cannot grasp these realities until we grasp the darkness of our story. One theologian said, “The worse we realize we are, the greater we realize God’s grace is.” That is the essence behind this episode. Dale Partridge looks to Ephesians 2:1-7 in an effort to understand who we were before Christ. 

In a generation of Christians who struggle with identity and value, Ephesians chapter one offers the believer a treasure of truth. In this study, pastor Dale Partridge looks to verses 1:3-6 and unpacks the rich blessings given to Christians in Christ. 

Ephesians is known as “The Bank of the Believer” or the “Treasury of the Saints” because of it’s dense population of promises for the Christian. In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge starts an eight-week study through the book of Ephesians in hopes to bring believers deep into hope we have in Christ. 

The current political climate has revealed the character of many men in the church. It has shown the courageous and the cowards, the bold and the blind. Fortunately, trials, persecution, and cultural hostility tend to make the dividing lines more clear. That is, we can see clearly who stands with the world and who stands with Christ.

But what has also been clarified is how few true, biblical, faithful ministers are out there. We have been made aware of the great need for more mission-minded, Gospel-focused, and Bible-committed men. In this episode, pastor Dale Partridge calls for these type of men in his commencement speech delivered at the 2021 graduation for Reformation Seminary. 

It has been said that two topics are not permitted at holiday family gatherings: Religion and politics. But is this a biblical perspective? Should Christians refrain from these often emotionally charged topics at holiday gatherings? In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge explains why he believes silence is not an option and how Christians have a duty to speak the truth in love. 

As we begin to see an increase in cultural hostility against the evangelical church, more Christians are searching for alternative but biblical expressions to the traditional corporate church. In this episode, pastor Dale Partridge talks about the biblical house church and how it might be just the right solution for this next generation of Christians. Listen to Dale answer five common questions about house church and see if gathering in homes is right for you. 

For some, it may be shocking to find out that some Christians refuse to celebrate Christmas. It’s true. Some Christians believe that Christmas is rooted in paganism and have chosen to abstain as an act of personal holiness. While we celebrate the freedom we have in Christ to make such a choice, we also believe in the call to reason with one another in love.

In this episode, pastor Dale Partridge looks at the Doctrine of Days, the history of the church, and the Bible to present three reasons Christians should continue to celebrate and commemorate the incarnation of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Soteriology is the study of salvation in Scripture. Unfortunately, most Christians don’t have a robust comprehension of how they were saved. That is, they don’t understand the biblical process of lost and found or spiritually dead and spiritually alive. In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge takes listeners through a systematic study of what it truly means to be born-again.
