In this video, I will be taking a look at Children's Church. For many, this is a helpful service offered to tired parents. But there may be some reasons to rethink this model. Here, I will offer a few critiques of my own.

In this sermon on Romans 8:9-11, we discuss the Jekyll and Hyde-like nature of the human composition. We are, as Jekyll finally confessed, "an incongruous compound" of the Spirit and the Flesh. And yet in this war, there is a clear conqueror and victor -- the Holy Spirit who lives with and dwells in the hearts of believers.

In this video, we will discuss how to do evangelism step-by-step using the example of Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch from Acts 8.

In this video, we are going to take a quick look at the concept of "wrong-think" from the book 1984. Here, we see the dystopian idea that some ideas are acceptable and others are forbidden. But free people must be able to think freely!

In this older video from my YouTube channel, we will take a quick look at writer's block and how to overcome it!

In this older video from my YouTube channel, we are going to have a brief look at the Bible verse that saved AW Tozer! Great story with some Akron roots!

In this sermon, we continue our series on Romans 7 and the Law of God. Specifically, we introduce our last principle related to the Christian's complex relationship to the Law, the Law/Gospel Distinction. We will also consider whether Romans 7:15-25 is Paul's pre-conversion testimony, or his present regenerated experience as he fights sin as a believer.

In this video, I will do a reading of chapter one of Worshiptainment, so you can see whether you would like to grab the full version of this book! If so, get it here: https://amzn.to/4dfH22C

In this video, I will ask whether America is Christian enough? I will look at the question from several different angles and seek to discern whether we are truly a Christian nation, by any definition.

In this sermon, we continue our series in the book of Romans. Here, I exegete Romans 7:7-14 while also exploring the so-called Reformed "Three Uses of the Law." These uses are 1) to point us to the Gospel, 2) to restrain societal evil, and 3) to show us the life that is pleasing to God.

We are taking on a very dark topic today, demonic thoughts and involuntary blasphemies. We will consult the help of John Bunyan here to get through this one. Get the books that I mention here: Grace Abounding: https://amzn.to/41LBpEbPilgrim's Progress: https://amzn.to/41G5iFM

In this video, we return to our exegesis of Romans 7:1-6. This chapter is about the Christian's complicated relationship to the Law, now that he has been saved and filled with the Spirit. Here, we will look at two equal and opposite dangers, legalism and antinomianism. Both are dangerous, and can poison and shipwreck the believer's life.

In this video, I will tell you about my love for Biblical Greek. Note, I am NOT the world's best greek translator, but I still do love and use Greek all the time. In this video, I will also tell you about Biblingo which is an app that you can use to learn Greek or Hebrew better.

In this video, I will share quite a few reasons why I believe the NKJV is an awesome translation of the Bible. I love it, and I think you will too. If you like the KJV or the ESV, then the New King James is a wonderful Bible to pair with what you currently have now.

In this short video, I will present a very excellent recommendation for a devotional, Prayers of the Bible by Gordon Keddie. Here it is: https://amzn.to/4it0nOZ

In this video, I will explain why it is that the ENTIRE Bible is about Christ, and not merely the New Testament. I will also mention a book recommendation called Portraits of Christ by Whitla and Keddie which you can get here: https://amzn.to/4ixuyV4

In this sermon on Resurrection Sunday, we look to a text that might not ordinarily be associated with Easter, Mark 8:31-38. This text might be thought of more naturally with Good Friday, due to its association with suffering. But as we will see, this is a clear prediction and call to consider the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead as our only hope for salvation from sin.

In this episode, I will consider why there is so much hatred and animosity against John Calvin. I think several reasons are obvious, but let's go ahead and explore where there is so much disdain of the sixteenth century Genevan reformer. Hope you enjoy this episode!

In this sermon, we take a break from our series in Romans to examine an important doctrine of the faith: the Kingship of Christ. Christ is the Mediatorial King who rules over all things, including all nations, angels, demons, human beings, the church, and our individual lives. While it is good and right to emphasize the doctrine of Christ as Savior, it is also proper to put it in context of His ki...

In this video, I look back over what I have learned over the course of twenty-five years of ministry. Who have been my greatest influences and examples? Who have been my living and dead mentors? In this fun video, I tier rank some thinkers that have impacted me greatly.

In this video, I will take a look at some of the most common texts that generic evangelicals use to defend female pastors. In each case, I will show why these passages do not really defend women preaching!

In this video, we will discuss the question, "Why study theology at all?" After all, isn't it divisive? Doesn't it incite pride in the learned? Doesn't it cause more problems than it solves?

Far too often, Christians take on a defeatist mentality when it comes to our fight against sin. Here, we continue our expository series through the book of Romans. Today we come to a critical text in our fight against indwelling sin. In a series of powerful verses, Paul argues that sin no longer has any dominion or lordship over our lives.

In this video, we are going to look at the history and development of the Reformed catechisms. I hope you enjoy this deep dive into these wonderful instructional tools for helping grow our faith and discipleship in Jesus Christ.
