Worshipology

Are there enemies to God’s people? Yes! Is there a chance that we may experience attacks from them? Yes! Does the book of Revelation inform us about these things? Yes! But does Satan and his enemies win? NO!! Join Dr. Tyler Ball as he shares his heart and partners with J. Scott Duvall’s book, “The Heart of Revelation,” on the topic of enemies. Tune in to hear that since Christ has already won, Satan attacks out of defiance, but he cannot determine a new outcome. Though the topic of “enemies” is a serious and weighty issue, you are sure to be encouraged and maybe even have a few laughs as you listen to this episode.

“We will worship whatever is at the center of our lives.” What do you think of this statement? Join Dr. Tyler Ball as he unpacks the second theme found in Revelation, “Worship.” You cannot read the book of Revelation and not see worship. When we understand that God is holy and eternal, that the triune God created all things out of nothing, that Christ redeemed us, and that God will keep all His promises to us; how can we not render God the praise He is due?

Have you ever wanted someone to just “tell it like it is?” You want them to get to the point and just say what is needed to be said. Well, you’re in luck! This is exactly what John does in 1 John 3:4-10. Just like we can easily know the physical math of 2+2=4, we can also easily know the spiritual math of what sin and holiness equal. In this passage, John reminds us that those in Christ will pursue holiness, and those who are not will pursue sin. However, take heart, Christian! We pursue holiness out of the victory of Christ’s work on the cross. You don’t want to miss this episode!

In 1 John 2:28-3:3, the apostle John reminds us that righteousness is a big mark of an authentic faith. Through this text, John encourages us to remember that the love of God helps us in our pursuit of holiness as His children. However, he also reminds us to look forward to the coming of Christ to help us too. To modernize what John is telling us, “Children, you will one day see Christ fully and completely! This is crazy! Be ready!” You won’t want to miss this episode.

It’s no secret that an authentic faith will persevere until the end. However, it’s also no secret that perseverance is hard at times. Join Dr. Tyler Ball as he evaluates 1 John 2:18-27 to uncover the “perseverance prescription.” But breathe easy! The prescription found in the Bible is less work, more rest. Tune in for some encouragement.

Satan may not have your heart, but that doesn’t mean he won’t still try to divide it. But what if I told you that we can know his playbook? He’s been using it for years! Join Dr. Tyler Ball as he evaluates 1 John 2:12-17 to see Satan’s 1-2-3 punch aimed at redirecting our loves from the things of God to the things of this world. He used these punches in the Garden in Genesis 3, he used these punches in the wilderness as he tempted Jesus in Luke 4, and he’s still using these punches now. But be encouraged! You’re fighting a battle that’s already won!

What makes up an authentic faith? When everything is stripped down to the basic foundation of things, what does God-honoring faith really look like? Join Dr. Tyler Ball as he reflects on four passages where God’s essence is explicitly described. Because, at the end of the day, an authentic faith will reflect the character and essence of God. Not perfectly, but persistently. You don’t want to miss this episode!
