This sermon examines the doctrine of the Trinity through specific passages in the book of Isaiah, identifying the distinct roles and relationships of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The analysis begins with Isaiah 42, where the Father is presented as the commissioner who delights in the Son, the Servant, who is empowered by the Holy Spirit to bring gentle justice to the Gentiles. The teaching continues with Isaiah 48, exploring the debate over whether the Father or the Son is the speaker, while emphasizing the unity of the divine persons in the sending of the Messiah. Finally, the sermon introduces Isaiah 61 alongside Luke 4, highlighting the anointing of Christ by the Spirit to preach good tidings and bind up the brokenhearted. Throughout the discussion, the preacher emphasizes that the three persons of the Trinity are united in purpose and authority, rather than operating in a hierarchy of subordination, providing a cohesive Old Testament foundation for understanding the triune nature of God.

Meet Christiana Faith Debate: Sunday, September 27th, 2026 (10/04/26 on 930 WFMD in Frederick, Maryland) Does history warn against Christian avoidance of "Artificial Intelligence"? In other words, are saints today repeating the strategic error of early 20th-Century fundamentalism? In the 1920s–1940s significant sectors of Christianity responded to cultural/intellectual hostility by withdrawing from universities, media, & public institutions; a posture that ceded enormous cultural influence for generations. The result wasn't the preservation of orthodoxy so much as the marginalization of orthodox Christianity from the formation of cultural institutions. Figures such as J Gresham Machen fought against this withdrawal, arguing that Christians must engage & reform institutions, rather than abandon them. The Faith Debate wondered if Christian avoidance of AI is the beginning of another decades-long strategic retreat that future generations will lament, asking if separation from culture has ever produced a more Christian culture. Can the church sanctify what it abandons? You're encouraged to go listen to these shows. In the meantime, this episode is part 2 of a 4-part conversation on the subject of spiritual visions/apparitions.

The sermon explores the dual approach Paul takes in Colossians to address false teaching: warning against deceptive persuasive arguments and affirming the believer's secure union with Christ. It emphasizes that the antidote to Gnostic error is not intellectual debate but a deep understanding of Christ's full deity and the believer's position in Him. The text highlights the progression of the Christian life, moving from being firmly rooted in Christ at salvation to being continuously built up and established in the faith through instruction. This stability is characterized by good discipline and steadfastness, contrasting with the lukewarmness of Laodicea. The message concludes by encouraging believers to respond to this truth with overflowing gratitude, recognizing that their security rests solely in the person and work of Jesus Christ.

This lesson examines the Corinthian church's divisions as a cautionary example for modern Christians who often identify with denominations or human leaders rather than solely with Christ. The lesson argues that while the human need for identity is natural, believers must reject man-made traditions and instead anchor their faith in the Word of God as their sole authority. By highlighting the crucifixion and baptism in the name of Jesus, the lesson emphasizes that true unity is found only in a shared commitment to biblical doctrine, not in sectarian labels. The lesson concludes by commending the house of Chloe for their spiritual discernment, urging local churches to prioritize doctrinal purity and Christ-centered unity over religious or organizational affiliations.

Two of biblical counseling's most influential leaders died within a year of each other (Adams and Powlison), and the movement has been fracturing ever since. In this series finale, Dr. Jared Poulton joins Jared and Dr. Alan Strange to bring the story into the present: the growing rift between "clinically informed" and "historic" biblical counseling, the theological debates over common grace and secular psychology no reformed denomination has ever weighed in on, and why so many Reformed Christians have kept biblical counseling at arm's length despite wanting exactly what it offers. Dr. Poulton makes the case for where the movement goes from here, and issues a direct challenge to pastors and elders who've sat this conversation out. Whether you've followed all four episodes or you're just catching up, this closing conversation will change how you think about the counsel happening in your own church.

3 John 1:2 — TV preachers quote this verse and stop. John didn't stop there — and the rest of the sentence wrecks the health-and-wealth gospel. This message unpacks the prosperity gospel debate hiding inside 3 John 1:2 — the verse health-and-wealth preachers love to quote, and love to stop reading. This expository preaching through the Apostle John's wish for a man named Gaius exposes what happens when "prosper and be in health" gets cut loose from the phrase that follows it: "even as thy soul prospereth." If you've ever wondered why the prosperity gospel doesn't add up biblically — or watched someone you love send their last dollars to a preacher promising healing and wealth — this sermon shows you exactly where that theology breaks, one piece of punctuation at a time. Soul prosperity, not bank account prosperity, is the measuring stick John actually gives. Preached from 3 John 1:1-2, this message traces the Apostle John's final years as the last living eyewitness of Christ, his love for a little-known believer named Gaius, and the wish he made for him. Drawing on Genesis 22, 2 Corinthians 11-12, and the record of Paul's own suffering and contentment, this verse-by-verse teaching calls believers back to a definition of prosperity measured by the soul first — everything else rides behind it. This sermon walks through 3 John 1:1-2, explaining: - Why John signed this letter only "the elder" — and why no one had to ask which elder - Who Gaius was, and why an old apostle loved a man history barely remembers - The difference between a formal prayer and a wish that "gets away from you" - How prosperity preachers stop reading at the comma in verse 2
