The Hammer Podcast

We have a cold open with R.C. Sproul talking about his views on Romans 11. Which might shock some of you. Three areas we want to cover today are: 1. What are the various ways people take the Old Testament prophecies about Israel’s future salvation and restoration? These texts are in the Bible, so we must be able to give some sort of answer as to its meaning. 2. Is Israel becoming a state in 1948 p...

Cold open with Benjamin Netanyahu talking about the modern history of Israel and the land. We continue talking about the modern state of Israel’s and it’s biblical significance. Does the modern state of Israel fit into prophecy? We give a very brief history of the modern state of Israel and the Palestinians. Why is this important? Does the true history help us clarify the issues at play? Was the c...

Joel Webbon cold open, the growing antisemitism among some professing Christians. We want to do a new topic which is the current state of Israel and its biblical prophetical significance. Why do we want to cover this topic? The rise of antisemitism in our own culture and even more appalling in the evangelical world which is in stark contrast to some of the zealous Zionist movements. We give 5 diff...

Cold open – D. Martyn Lloyd Jones So much to get to in this episode. Most importantly we want to talk about the authority of God’s word as you preached on Sunday and cover some issues that you brought up—issues that some people might take exception with. Then we have a few more updates to praise God for concerning the new presidential administration—most notably rights of the unborn babies made in...

Sanity returns as President Trump declares that our government policy is that there are only two genders: male and female. We are going to hit some current events since there’s so much going on with transfer of power. How does Trumps new policy of there being two genders relate to choosing the best gospel candidate?

We are back from the long Christmas break! In this episode we ask and the question, is singleness more righteous or holy than marriage?

Professor Thomas R. Schreiner leads the cold open talking about abuse and abandonment in marriage. In this episode we deal with the sensitive and difficult topic of abuse in marriage and divorce. Are their different types of abuse? How should church leaders handle such cases? How can you be mindful of the victims and seek to understand the truth? Is divorce the only option for abuse in any form? H...

Adrain Rodger’s starts us out by asking if God has told you to get divorced? What does the Bible say about divorce and remarriage? Why is the marriage relationship filled with so many difficulties?

Bart Ehrman says you can be a Christian and not believe in the inerrancy and authority of the Bible.

Before we get to the latest from the Kamala campaign we wanted to play a clip from the great Adrian Rogers. Why do Christian have a selfish love and not a selfless love? It is interesting how most of Paul’s prayers are prefaced with our love for each other. How can we practically live that out? Why and how has that been abused? Looking to Sundays sermon how does love for one another tie into Matth...

Ep. 78 Protecting our Children from the Democrat Death Cult! Why is the current Democrat party accurately defined as a death cult?

Cold open with Russell Moore and Morning Joe. Why we didn’t do a podcast last week. Further discussion on Sunday’s Sermon and the importance of learning from Christians who came before us, like Bonhoeffer. “Yes I am a Christian, I believe it’s all about Jesus, but how am I suppose to navigate the politics around us?” The recent history of Bonhoeffer, Nazi Germany and the German Christians can be v...

(0-2 Trump survives again!) We start with a cold open from Francis Schaeffer. Where are the Bible believing Christians?

With the drive by debate Tuesday night, we felt an autopsy of events was needed. It is interesting that many people, James Carville included, said this was a trap for Trump. But first, we dive into discernment in a little more depth. Then give some insights into the next few Sunday mornings. What does Romans 12 look like in practice? Why do some unbelievers have better discernment than believers?...

We begin with a clip from Orange man bad on the "transmania" ripping through the country. Then transition to discussing the importance of dedication to the Lord.

Before we get into the topic at hand, we have to address the bear in Central Park. Clearly one of the most pressing stories of our day!  Turning to a serious note, how should we think about the growing antisemitism in and around the Christian Nationalist movement?  Is it really rooted in “fulfillment theology?” Or is there more to the story? Core theological beliefs in the replacement of Israel se...
