November 24, 2025Discerning the BodyWhile there are a lot of different topics addressed in the letters to the Corinthians, a lot of the letters come back to the same idea; how should Christians think about each other, and their place in the body of Christ, both universally and more locally?Click Here to Listen.(Preaching through the New Testament.

November 17, 2025Saved by FaithPaul’s letter to the Romans is the most “technical” of the epistles, in a sense.

November 10, 2025Led by the SpiritThe importance of being “led by the Spirit” as a Christian cannot be understated, but the exact means by which He leads us can be confusing to many Christians.

November 10, 2025The Elementary Doctrine of ChristOne of the benefits of reading through the story in Acts relatively quickly is repeated themes and events become more obvious, specifically in regards to evangelism and how people responded.

November 03, 2025What is the New Testament?How we think about the form, structure, and purpose of the New Testament will inevitably affect the way we approach, read, and interpret it.

November 03, 2025The End of the LawOne of the main points of conflict in the early Church was the question of how to handle or relate to the Law of Moses.

October 13, 2025Are the Gospels Reliable?A basic apologetic consideration of the historical reliability of the Gospels (and indeed the broader New Testament) breaks down into two main lines of reasoning: arguments based on history and how we know things, and arguments based on psychology and human nature. This is a very brief overview of a defense of the Gospel accounts, and if you want to know more please let me know!Click Here to Listen(NOTE: Similar to Sunday morning, the audio cuts in and out a bit at the beginning.

October 13, 2025The Common GospelMark’s Gospel is a good one to use as a base for digging down to the core Gospel story; the part of the good news of Jesus’s life that all four Gospel writers included in their accounts. The list is surprisingly short, and while everything each writer wrote is essential for all Christians, considering the story in its most basic form powerfully confirms the simplicity and communicability of the Gospel story.Click Here to Listen.(NOTE: The audio cuts in and out a bit at the beginning.
