The PRODCAST

Welcome to another episode in our series called "A Practical Postmillennialism." Today, we open up the Gospel of Matthew, and discover how it profoundly points to the postmillennial vision. We will see through Jesus' lineage, teachings, parables, and prayers, that the promises to Abraham and David will come true in Christ!

SUMMARY

In this part of the conversation, Martin Selbrede discusses the biblical case for post-millennialism from the New Testament. He starts by examining John the Baptist's testimony in Matthew 3:11-12, where he speaks about the winnowing hand of the Messiah purging the threshing floor. Selbrede explains that this process of purifying the world is initiated by the Messiah and is happening now. He also highlights passages like Isaiah 42 and John 12 that speak about the victory of justice and the drawing of all men to Christ. Selbrede emphasizes the importance of having faith in the promises of God and actively working towards the expansion of His kingdom. The conversation explores the theme of salvation and the ultimate goal of a saved world. It discusses the idea that salvation is not just about rescuing God's elect, but also about destroying God's enemies. The concept of fire is used as a metaphor for God's wrath and justice, which is being poured out on all unrighteousness. The conversation emphasizes the importance of following God's law and living righteously in order to navigate through a world that is aflame. It also highlights the need for Christians to fulfill the Great Commission by discipling the nations and teaching them to obey everything Jesus commanded. The conversation explores the eschatological themes in the New Testament and how they relate to the reversal of the Adamic curse. It emphasizes that Jesus, as the true and better Adam, will make believers fruitful, multiply them, and fill the world with worshippers. The discussion also highlights the importance of understanding and applying the Word of God, as well as the need to actively work towards the fulfillment of the Great Commission. The conversation concludes with a challenge to be a generation known for pushing the gospel forward and trusting in the promises of God.

SUMMARY

Welcome to our latest installment in the Practical Postmillennialism series, where we delve deep into the theological richness of the Psalms. In this video, we explore how the Psalms are not merely poetic musings but powerful declarations of victory, dominion, and hope in the reign of Christ.

In today's culture, where societal anthems echo despair and degeneracy, the Psalms stand as a stark contrast, resonating with strength, sovereignty, and sacred duty. Join us as we journey through the valleys and heights of the Psalms, discovering the battle hymns of the King of kings.

Contrary to popular misconceptions, the Psalms don't depict a passive or defeated Messiah. Instead, they reveal a reigning King, actively crushing His enemies and expanding His Kingdom through His church. It's a call to action, to engage in the cultural battle with confidence, knowing that victory is assured.

Join us as we challenge defeatism and embrace the victorious postmillennialism portrayed in the Psalms. Let's make our churches bastions of hope, truth, and unyielding faith, filling our hearts and homes with songs of victory. For the King has come, He is here, and He is victorious.
