We now come to this great chapter, 11, in which Paul deals with the question of the nation Israel. Is God finished with the Jews? Has He cast them away? Is the present existence of the nation of Israel with no meaning at all?

Psalm Explanation 詩編.119:33-40

While the Lindsay Clancy case has captured the nation's attention, we want to ask a very specific question: Is "Not Guilty by reason of insanity" a biblical verdict? God's word spends a great amount of time talking about justice and righteousness, so this should matter to us. Are we judged for our intent or for our actions, and does being under great mental strain or pressure free us from guilt un...

In this lecture, Jonathan Arnold teaches that the canon of Scripture consists of books inspired by God and providentially preserved, whose authority the church recognises rather than confers. The Protestant canon of sixty-six books reflects this principle, upheld through the early church and Reformation. Scripture's authority rests upon its Divine origin, internal harmony, spiritual power, and the...

In this lecture Jonathan Arnold teaches that the New Testament text must be approached in light of Scripture's Divine inspiration and providential preservation. The Received Text, rooted largely in the Byzantine manuscript tradition and used in Reformation translations, is presented as a faithful witness preserved through the church's continual use. Modern critical texts are challenged for priorit...

In this episode, John Unger sits down with Pastor Cogbill and Pastor Ahlenius to discuss questions on the ties between the Church and the individual Christian. What does it mean to be a part of the catholic (or universal) church? Must we attend a local church in order to be a part of Christ's body? What did the Westminster Divines mean by the terms visible and invisible church? Are those the best...

Dr. David Brown is Pastor Emeritus of the First Baptist Church in Oak Creek. He has a Master's in Theology and a PhD in History specializing in the history of the English Bible. It is very easy in our society to take what we have for granted. We can go into a dark home and flip a switch and we have light.

In Mark 8:31-33, Jesus plainly teaches that the Son of Man must suffer, be rejected, and rise again, prompting Peter to rebuke Him. The central argument is that the Messiah's suffering was not an accident but a necessary, preordained act of God to satisfy divine justice and provide atonement for sin, contrasting the 'things of man' with the 'things of God.' The preacher highlights that Peter's obj...

This introductory discussion offers a brief tour through the massive 12-volume Collected Works of Thomas Goodwin (1600–1680), one of the premier theologians and pastors of 17th-century English Puritanism. A leading figure at both the Westminster Assembly and the drafting of the Savoy Declaration, Goodwin combined rigorous Reformed scholasticism with an extraordinarily tender, experiential care for...

The Protestant Reformation called the church back to the authority of Scripture and justification by faith alone in Christ alone.

Every generation must test its beliefs and practices by God's Word and remain faithful to the gospel of Jesus Christ. For more from Contending for t...
