Do you respect your pastor? You should, and I hope you do, however, you should not put him on a pedestal. You shouldn’t idolize him. He is a human being who struggles against his sinful flesh, the Devil, and the world, just like you. Pray for your pastor. Encourage him. Six points from J. C....

Would you describe the Holy Spirit as a “funny and sneaky and silly blue genie” like the one in Aladdin? I hope not. The Holy Spirit is very misunderstood today. Many professing Christians miss the subtle, yet powerful ways the Holy Spirit of Jesus serves them. You can benefit more from the Holy Spirit’s active...

This week, the guys sit down to discuss the three primary millennial eschatological interpretations as an overview to the systematic theological study of Eschatology – the study of “Last Things” or “The End Times.” They sip a whiskey sent in by a listener: Widow Jane 14 Year – which was a barrel pick for the...

Andrew and Caleb begin chapter 8 looking at Scripture and Confession. What are the Reformed confessions? What purpose do they serve in the church? How do they relate to Scripture? What should one do if he disagrees with his confession?

Dr. Greg Beale is the J. Gresham Machen chair of New Testament at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, PA, as well as research professor of New Testament and Biblical Theology at the same seminary.

He’s an ordained minister in the OPC (Orthodox Presbyterian Church) and has been teaching in the seminary and/or college context for 35+ years. His academic research includes how the New Testament quotes the Old Testament, the book of Revelation, the temple as the dwelling place of God, and the topic of inerrancy, among others. He’s written numerous books on all sorts of theological topics, and many commentaries, mostly focused on how to read and interpret scripture, and eschatology.

Join us as Dr. Beale discusses the Reformed understanding of Amillennialism (and how it’s been misunderstood), how to read and understand the book of Revelation correctly, and apply this to BIG topics like the Rapture, the sign of the Beast, and more!

Resources from Dr. Beale :
