In this episode, we compare Moses' striking of the rock in the wilderness for the provision of water with the chastisement of Jesus for the provision of living water (Exodus 17:1-7; 1 Corinthians 10:1-5; Isaiah 53:4-5, 10-11).

Picture Ahithophel’s king, David, sleeping on his comfortable couch. He raises out of his slumber, stretches his arms, yawns, and shuffles his feet beneath himself, hoping to touch his elusive sandal with his ever-searching hallux.

We want to take this opportunity to say thank you for supporting us this past year. It is a blessing to extol the supremacy of Christ to the nations.

Certainly, much of what Christ did was miraculous, but it is the underlying compassion, mercy, beneficence, and obedience to the Father that accompany them for which we are called to have as the underlying motivation in our own good works.

In this episode, we examine Chapter 8 of the Second London Baptist Confession: Of Christ the Mediator.

Slavery to sin is a slavery unlike any other. It is a bondage that is rivaled by no other form in any other time. It is a taskmaster that is more heinous, ruthless, relentless, conniving, deceiving, and destructive than any other that has ever or will ever exist. Sin demands more, and takes more than any slave on Earth has ever given.

if you have been redeemed by the blood of Christ, you have been given this will and this heart and this faith and you must avail yourself to them, lest you shrink back and your heart wander away

No, rather this is a sacrifice that is in keeping with each and every sacrifice to God we see in all of scripture. He defines what it is and how it is brought.

Here is a man who is vigorous in the pursuit of his religion. He is zealous in chasing after God. Those who know with full assurance that they are going to heaven continually press forward and toward it.

In this episode, we examine Chapter 8 of the Westminster Confession of Faith: Of Christ the Mediator

I rely on my yearly Bible reading to help me understand the given Testament’s context, so there is no pressure to read the entire Old or New Testament at once to understand a singular word or verse.

But see very clearly, beloved, the one who was put to shame on our behalf. Our Savior, Jesus Christ was lifted up upon an instrument of death, designed for criminals of the highest order.

When we read Paul, therefore, it is imperative to get into his head in order to understand rightly what he is trying to convey to the original audience and the reader in every age.

This introductory episode describes the primary purpose of Christ's first advent: to save his people from their sins (Matthew 1:21).

By these few words, the myth of neutrality is dispelled. Here, the psalmist is showing us a duty we have as Christians: we must continually choose the way of faithfulness.

In this episode, we exalt the everlasting name of the Lord, beginning in Psalm 135.

It is impossible for a secular culture to truly celebrate a day of giving thanks because they do not give thanks to God.

And observe, the Psalmist doesn’t ask to be put near other Christians or to have false people removed from his sight, in order to be obedient. Instead, he recognizes that obeying the Lord is a matter of one's own heart, not one's circumstances.

Should we utilize pagan practices to usher in the celebration of the Savior’s incarnation? Especially for a Savior who died to rescue his people from their pagan practices

One of the most foundational tenets of biblical interpretation is the phrase: “Context Determines Meaning.”
