Will Wood takes us to Ephesians 6:10–17 to expand upon the eschatology of the image of God and the biblical theme of being clothed in God's image-glory.

In episode 20, your hosts Rob McKenzie and Bob Tarullo discuss chapter 3 of John’s Gospel asking questions like, Who is Nicodemus? What’s this conversation all about? What’s going on between between Nicodemus and Jesus? Why the dark? What is regeneration? What is “born again”?

We’ll discuss these and other related topics in this episode of Theology Simply Profound.

Theology Simply Profound is a podcast of Westminster Presbyterian Church, an Orthodox Presbyterian Church, serving the western suburbs of Chicago, where God powerfully speaks through his means of grace.

There are different ways to define “outreach.” At times, it is closely identified with the act of planting churches and evangelizing. Other times, it’s more closely identified with advertising and sharing information about the church. Everett Henes joins Jim Cassidy and Camden Bucey to discuss the local church’s ministry of outreach. Rev. Henes is pastor of Hillsdale OPC in Hillsdale, Michigan. His church planting experience adds a new dimension to our conversation. Listen as we discuss different conceptions of outreach and methods for reaching the community through developing relationships and proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ.

K. Scott Oliphint, Professor of Apologetics and Systematic Theology at Westminster Theological Seminary, explains the role of evidences in a Reformed apologetic by turning to Cornelius Van Til’s book Christian-Theistic Evidences. Dr. Oliphint provides a foreword and explanatory notes in this re-typeset syllabus, originally from Cornelius Van Til’s Christian Evidences class at Westminster Seminary. As he addresses unbelieving philosophies of science, Van Til presents an uncompromising Christian philosophy and methodology for defending the faith that presupposes the absolute authority of the triune God of Scripture.
