This sermon was preached at Covenant Bible Church on September 19, 2021. Psalm 63:2 says, “So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory.” While on the run from his son Absalom, David has been effectively cut off the land of Israel, and most significantly, the sanctuary. Therefore, the psalmist is deprived of the praise of God, the people of God, and the presence of Go...

What Would The Current Population Be If Adam Never Sinned & No One Ever Died?

Christians must be committed to both Gospel and Law. The Law asks, “WWJD (What Would Jesus Do?).” The Gospel asks, “WDJD (What Did Jesus Do?).” Both of these questions are vital for the Christian.

The Christian life is a life of perpetual and continual training for godliness. The moment that we stop is the moment that we begin to decline.

Discipline is costly. You will never be disciplined without the proper incentive. Watch this clip, as Pastor Joel provides motivation from Scripture for running after Jesus with everything we have!

In this episode of Theology Applied, Pastor Joel is joined by Pastor Cali to discuss the sinister underpinnings of In Vitro Fertilization. Joel and Cali also thoroughly address a timeless question from the Scripture: Do children who die in infancy go to heaven or hell?

In a culture where truth is mocked and relativism reigns supreme, the Church is called to be the pillar and support of the truth.

According to Psalm 59, King Saul and his men were like starving, wild dogs that trap their prey right before tearing it to shreds. David's own home had been surrounded by this bloodthirsty mob. David's enemies are characterized by nothing but sheer rage and unrestrained evil. They are not capable of being persuaded by reason, if only someone would provide the facts in an honest and compelling mann...

If I start a Christian school (even though that's not explicitly what Jesus said to do), is it fair to call this endeavor a part of the Great Commission, in so far as it serves to fulfill the Great Commission? In other words, is the Great Commission merely evangelism and discipleship? Is it exclusively tied to the Church? Where does the Great Commission begin, and more specifically, where does it...

What does it mean for someone to be a “servant-leader?” Is servant-leadership actually a good thing? What does the Bible say about this?

The Bible never condemns wealth. Money is not the root of all kinds of evil, “the love of money” is the root of all kinds of evil. So how should Christians view money?

The Scripture is clear that God is sovereign in salvation. However, Scripture is also clear about the positive effects of Godly parenting. So how do we resolve the relationship that exists between God’s sovereign election and a parent’s duty to train up their child in the way they should go.

It’s clear that many within Evangelism aren’t exactly fans of Christian Nationalism. Their strategy to destroy the movement is simple: Draw a straight line from Christian Nationalism to “White” Nationalism. Unfortunately, some misguided Christian Nationalists seem to be making it easy for our opponents. Will Christian Nationalists wind up with egg on our face? What will likely come about over the...

Confrontation is a necessary part of following Jesus. So how should we confront others? And why is it so important not to neglect confrontation?

Pastor Joel Webbon preaches on the true nature of confession and the biblical characteristics of “godly sorrow” from Psalm 51:8-17. The contrite man does not merely ask for forgiveness, he asks to be changed.

Jesus said that if we are truly his disciples the world would hate us. However, the Bible also says that Christians should strive to have a good reputation with outsiders. So how do we reconcile these two things?

What does the Bible really teach about alcohol? Should a Christian drink? Listen to this clip to discover the biblical answer.

Christian Liberty is a precious commodity in the body of Christ. And yet, at the same time, Elders are called to preach persuasively. So how do we balance strong preaching with the freedom of an individual’s conscience?

In this episode of Theology Applied, Pastor Joel is joined by William Wolfe. The two of them discuss the rapidly growing divide among Evangelicals regarding Christian Nationalism. It appears that there is a second wave of “fault-lines” emerging. Regardless of the controversy, Christian Nationalism is the only way forward.

Have you ever experienced persecution for following Jesus? There is really only one way to avoid persecution as a Christian. Watch this episode to find out!

Pastor Joel Webbon preaches on the true nature of confession and the biblical characteristics of “godly sorrow” from Psalm 51:1-5.

A Pastor “must” be above reproach, but all Christians “should” be above reproach. So what does it look like to live a life that is above reproach?

Pride is a subtle sin. We often do not see it in ourselves, but we are quick to perceive it in others. Perhaps, one helpful indicator of pride in our own lives is recognizing how bothered we are when we think we see pride in the lives of others.

A friend and I had a discussion over this question: Is God ever thankful? More particularly, is God ever thankful towards those who obey His Word? Or should we merely say that God is “pleased” with our obedience?

In this episode of Theology Applied, Pastor Joel Webbon welcomes Steve Deace (from the Blaze Network) back on the show. Steve carefully explains the true origins of Thanksgiving Day. Then Steve and Joel turn to the disgraceful decision of 12 GOP senators who recently voted to codify Obergefell into law, leaving Christians completely vulnerable to the Spirit of the Age. This episode is fire. Buckle...
