  • My Response to Christian Nationalism

    What is the civil government’s role? What is the church's role? How do these two spheres relate?

    The current debates and discussions in evangelicalism about Christian Nationalism, Two Kingdom theology, and theonomy can be extremely confusing.

    Dr. Sean Cole presents Seven Propositions that reflect a Reformed Baptist sphere sovereignty (historic Protestant two-kingdoms) under Christ’s universal Lordship view.

    In this teaching on Revelation, Dr. Sean Cole addresses the two churches of Philadelphia and Laodicea.

    Philadelphia—the beloved church that held fast and served as a godly example and witness.

  • REVELATION Study: Thyatira and Sardis

    Sean’s newest book has just been released: Understanding Christianity: Biblical Answers to Life’s Most Important Questions

    You can purchase it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HC7WTLQZ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

     

    Dr. Sean Cole continues teaching through Revelation and focuses on the two churches of Thyatira and Sardis.

    Thyatira was the seduced church with the false prophetess who tempted them to engage in worldly behavior and to not stay true to God’s Word.

    Sardis was the church in name only—it had the reputation of being alive, but was dead.

  • Are You Desperate For Spiritual Cleansing? MATTHEW 8:1-4

    You can purchase it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HC7WTLQZ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

     

    In Matthew 8:1-4, Jesus is willing and able to meet your desperate need for spiritual cleansing.

    Matthew Henry said, “Sin is the leprosy of the soul; it shuts us out from communion with God, to which that we may be restored, we must be cleansed from this leprosy, and this ought to be our great concern.

     Do you heed his words? Is this your greatest concern? To be cleansed from your spiritual uncleanness and wickedness before a holy God?

    Dr. Sean Cole explains the spiritual leprosy of total depravity and our need for sovereign regeneration.
