Proclaiming Christ

In Episode 68, Jim Cassidy takes us through Hosea 4, where we see that God is judging his people because of their lack of a knowledge of him. Scripture shows us that the love of God and the knowledge of God are not contrary to one another, but “sweetly comply” with one another. Participants: Adam York , Glen Clary , Jim Cassidy , Mark A. Winder

There are two kinds of wisdom—human and divine. The foolishness of preaching shatters the illusion of human wisdom and displays the wisdom of God, that the believer’s boast should be in the Lord. Participants: Glen Clary , Joel Fick , Mark A. Winder

In Episode 66, Jim Cassidy opens up Hosea 3, where God commands the prophet to buy his faithless wife back from slavery. This picture of redemption points to Jesus Christ, who alone can purchase for himself a rebellious, sinful, and adulterous people. Participants: Adam York , Jim Cassidy , Mark A. Winder

In episode 65, Adam York examines Sarah’s laughter and her treatment of Hagar, gleaning from the passage important principles for interpretation. We do not approach Old Testament narratives looking a hero to emulate or a villain to despise, but looking to the acts and words of God in providing salvation for his people. Participants: Adam York , Glen Clary , Joel Fick , Mark A. Winder

In episode 64 we open up Genesis 20 and find a duplicate of what took place eight chapter earlier. To protect himself, Abraham tries to pass off his wife, Sarah, as his sister. In doing so, he inadvertently places the line of the Messiah in grave danger. It takes an act of God through special revelation to preserve the offspring of the woman. Participants: Adam York , Jim Cassidy , Mark A. Winder

The preacher should not preach in such a way that draws listeners to his own wisdom, but draws them to place their faith and trust in Christ alone as they witness his wisdom and power through the Word. Participants: Adam York , Glen Clary , Mark A. Winder

Hosea points to Jesus, who, as the new and final Israel, does not remain under the power of death forever. But Christ is raised from the dead in the vindicating power of the Spirit. Christ is our exodus—the one delivered from bondage to sin and death! His deliverance is our deliverance. As those who have been delivered in and through Christ, we are called to forget the names of our false gods and...

In a startling episode of fear and worldliness we find the hope of the gospel. Learn how the person and work of Christ can be preached from what seems to be the most unlikely text. Participants: Adam York , Glen Clary , Mark A. Winder

Lot can not save himself—God has to do it. In his mercy he provides for Lot’s salvation even through the destruction of the city of man, and in so doing provides for us a picture of Christ’s saving work. Participants: Adam York , Glen Clary , Mark A. Winder

The mercy that the Lord shows initially will be undone in judgment. But there is grace, restoration, and redemption for those who repent and trust in Christ. Participants: Jim Cassidy , Mark A. Winder , Mark Jenkins

Lot serves as a paradigm or picture of the salvation of sinners and judgment upon unbelievers. Sinners are not saved because they suddenly figure out God’s mercy and come running to him. They are saved because God does what they cannot do of their own accord. Participants: Adam York , Glen Clary , Mark A. Winder

In Episode 57, we see that despite oncoming judgment, the passage underscores the deep relationship between God and Abraham. It is covenantal at its core. Participants: Adam York , Mark A. Winder , Mark Jenkins

Here’s the big pictures of 1 Corinthians 1 and 2, particularly focusing on the wisdom of God as the doctrinal and ethical antithesis to world, and an introduction to Paul’s two-age eschatology.

In the battle in which we must fight, Jesus is what we need, and Jesus is all we need. Participants: Adam York , Mark A. Winder , Mark Jenkins

Genesis 18 provides a prototypical picture of the feast the believers have with their King in the heavenly places. It does so in the context of Sarah demonstrating an imperfect faith in a perfect Savior. Participants: Adam York , Jim Cassidy , Mark A. Winder

Hosea is made us of a series of cycles—of judgment and redemption. Here we begin looking at the first cycle of good news and redemption, as the prophet brings a word of good news. Participants: Jim Cassidy , Mark A. Winder

Here we seek to answer three questions: First, “What is the meaning of circumcision?” Second, “What is the purpose of circumcision? and third, “To whom is circumcision to be applied” We conclude that the sign of faith is to be applied to believers and their children. Participants: Adam York , Glen Clary , Jim Cassidy , Mark A. Winder

God re-names Sarai—again reflecting his covenant promise. And one  essential characteristic of the covenant of promise is that covenant community will always be comprised of elect and non-elect. Inseparable from the covenant itself are the parties of the covenant. Participants: Jim Cassidy , Mark A. Winder , Mark Jenkins

Paul appeals to the believers at Corinth to be united, and admonishes them to abandon their factionalism.  Paul reminds them that he did not do anything among them that would draw attention to himself, but rather  he pointed them entirely away from himself and directed their attention and affection to Christ alone. Participants: Adam York , Glen Clary , Mark A. Winder

As the Abrahamic Covenant is expanded, it builds upon the revelation given in chapters 12 and 15. Through this everlasting covenant God will bring life to those who are dead in their sins. Participants: Adam York , Jim Cassidy , Mark A. Winder

Our situation calls for serious self-discipline because the days are evil, and joyful celebration because God has rescued us from that evil in Jesus Christ. Participants: Adam York , Glen Clary , Mark A. Winder , Mark Jenkins

Israel was called God’s son—a status under threat here in Hosea—as graphically demonstrated in the naming of Hosea’s children. God’s pending divorce of Israel points to the only way for God’s elect to be saved. The warnings in Hosea are for God’s people today that we may examine ourselves to be sure we are in the faith. Participants: Adam York , Jim Cassidy , Mark A....

We welcome Glen Clary as our newest panelist, as he opens Paul’s eucharistic prayer concerning the church of God at Corinth. He centers it around the believer’s union with Christ—the key to understanding Paul’s gospel. Participants: Glen Clary , Jim Cassidy , Mark A. Winder

A remarkable picture of God’s grace given to an undeserving Egyptian woman, is used by the apostle Paul as a divinely inspired allegory of the way in which God operates through the church today. Participants: Adam York , Mark A. Winder

God has made his covenant with Abram, and now ratifies it through a solemn covenant ceremony that points to the supernatural character of the covenant’s nature and its keeping. Participants: Adam York , Mark A. Winder
