Reformation Roundtable

Welcome to another episode of Reformation Roundtable. We are group of men exploring the idea of planting a reformed Church in the Lewis County area. What do I mean by reformed? Check out Episode 2 of the Reformation Roundtable for an in depth look regarding what distinctives characterize a Reformed Church. In this discussion we cover the doctrine of Unconditional Election. If you would like to dig into this doctrine sans the discussion, I did a podcast on the topic back in September of 2018 you can check out too if you like.

Welcome back to another discussion at the Reformation Roundtable. We are a group of men who are committed to exploring the idea of planting a reformed church in the Lewis County area. We would love to see a distinctly and unapologetically biblically based reformed church in the Centralia / Chehalis WA area. The Reformation Roundtable is the place where we gather to discuss the wide diversity of ideas within reformed theology. For our latest discussion we centered on the passage in Romans 13 where Paul tells Christians how they should view and act around their governing authorities. It also paints a clear picture of how governments are supposed to be the ministers, or servants, of Christ. Because Christ is King, every knee should and will bow (including the knees of those ungodly rulers we currently have) to Christ is humble service to His commandments. This is the "blending" of visions for Romans 13; Christians wisely submitting to their governing rulers while those governing rulers wisely seek to reward the righteous and punish the evil doer.

On March 6th a group of men dedicated to exploring the possibility of planting a distinctly reformed church in Lewis County met to discuss Total Depravity and free will. The discussion followed a lecture given by R.C. Sproul on the doctrine of Total Depravity, Total Inability, or as RC likes to call it, Radical Corruption. If you share a love for a theology of God that places His Holiness and Sovereignty at the forefront than we'd love to have you join us for our next discussion.

This discussion happened on February 13th 2020 and centered on RC Sproul's discussion of the Covenant. We are a group of men who would love to start a Reformed Church in Lewis County in the Centralia or Chehalis WA area. Join us on our quest to bring glory to God in our community!

This discussion happened on February 6th 2020 and revolved around the second video by Dr. RC Sproul on the doctrine of Faith Alone.

As we seek to plant a reformed church in Lewis County, Washington, we first must establish common foundational grounds as it relates to theology and ecclesiology. On January 23rd, 2020 we gathered to discuss Chapter 2 of Douglas Wilsons book “Mother Kirk” titled “Reformational Identity.”

I highly recommend you buy the book but here is the link to the chapter we discussed: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2i41fsdv5jubmwj/Reformational%20Identity.pdf?dl=0
