Christ's Crucifixion, His Resurrection, and Our Salvation | Sermon on Matthew 28

Apr 19 2025 52 mins

There is no joy on Easter Sunday without the sorrow of Good Friday. There is no resurrection without the cross. And there is no salvation without them both. Without the events of Sunday morning the events of Friday afternoon were merely a terrible tragedy. The cross was necessary, as it was here Christ bore the wrath of God against sin and took the full weight of its punishment so

Before Abraham was, I AM - A Sermon on John 8:48-59 | Ep. 95

Apr 01 2025 57 mins

In John 8:48-59 we find a dramatic confrontation between Jesus and the religious leaders that culminates in one of His clearest declarations of deity: "Before Abraham was, I AM." The Jewish leaders understand His claim—That He is declaring Himself to be God—and attempt to stone Him. In this sermon we'll explore Christ’s promise that “if anyone keeps my word, he will never s

Chapter 9: Free Will | 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith

Mar 18 2025 2 mins

Chapter 9 of the London Baptist Confession of Faith addresses free will, teaching that humans were created with free will. After Adam's fall, however, humanity lost the ability to choose any spiritual good that accompanies salvation. Through conversion, God renews the human will, enabling people to desire spiritual good — imperfectly in this life and perfectly in glory. Pick up a

Did Jesus Really 'Descend into Hell' like the Apostles' Creed says?

Mar 12 2025 17 mins

The Apostles' Creed states: "He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to hell." But did Jesus really descend into hell? Does Scripture teach this? If not, how and why is this in the creed? On this episode we'll evaluate several possible interpretations of this phrase and compare them to God's Word to see if they hold up. Join me as we delv

Ken Ham: Reflecting on 50 Years of Ministry | Ep 94

Hark The Herald Angels Sing: A Hymn Story

Dec 10 2024 6 mins

Hark the Herald Angels Sing is one of the best-known and best-loved Christmas songs and has been for well over 260 years. But you might not recognize the original lyrics. It began with: Hark how all the welkin rings, Glory to the King of Kings What on earth is a welkin? And how did this hymn change over time? Here’s the story behind the original hymn, the change in its lyrics, an

What Year Was Jesus Actually Born?

Dec 03 2024 9 mins

Jesus was likely born between 5 and 6 B.C. That's seems odd, of course. Our calendar is broken up into B.C. (Before Christ) and A.D. (anno Domini, the year of our Lord) so doesn’t that mean Jesus was born in year one (since we don’t count year zero)? Actually, the issue is a bit more complex than that. Although the Gospel writers did not focus primarily on preserving a precise

The Nicene Creed: Who Wrote It and Why Was It Written? | Ep 93

Nov 22 2024 25 mins

The Nicene Creed is one of the most significant statements of faith in Christian history. But have you ever wondered how it came to be? This video reveals the historical events, people, and controversies that led to its formation. We'll look at the turmoil of the Roman Empire at the time of Constantine and survey the fierce theological disagreements about Jesus’ divinity. You’l

Salvation by Grace Alone — A Sermon on Ephesians 2:1-10

Nov 11 2024 40 mins

The doctrine of Sola Gratia, or salvation by grace alone, is a central truth of the Gospel. Scripture is clear that we cannot earn forgiveness by our works, but only through the free gift of God's grace made available to use through faith in Christ. Listen to this sermon on Ephesians 2:1-10 as we consider the universal need for grace, the unearned gift of grace, and the ultimate re
