So Great Salvation Podcast S14E1 The 5 Warnings in Hebrews Part 1 Introduction The Five Warnings in Hebrews: An IntroductionThe Epistle to the Hebrews contains five solemn warning passages that have long stood at the center of theological debate. These texts are among the most challenging in the New Testament, not because they are obscure, but because they confront readers with the seriousness of...

So Great Salvation Podcast S13E6 The Christian and Divorce Pt 6: Broken Vows For many Christians, the conversation about divorce begins and ends with a single question: Is divorce ever permitted? But what if the deeper question is one we rarely stop to ask? What actually ends a marriage? Is it the legal document—the writ of divorce—that dissolves the union? Or does that document simply acknowledge...

So Great Salvation Podcast S13E5 The Christian and Divorce Pt 5: Can a Christian Separate from an Unrepentant Spouse? Most Christians know that 1 Corinthians 7 discusses marriage, separation, and divorce. But what if the context of the surrounding chapters adds an important piece to the conversation? In 1 Corinthians 5, Paul commands the church to separate from a professing believer living in open...

In this episode, we continue our examination of Christian divorce by addressing a crucial—and often overlooked—question: Was Jesus’ teaching on divorce meant to be the final, exhaustive word on the subject? Or did the Holy Spirit, through the apostle Paul, intentionally expand and clarify that teaching for the life of the church? The Gospels record Jesus Christ responding to a very specific challe...

So Great Salvation Podcast S13E3 The Christian and Divorce Pt 3 “This Present Distress” 1 Corinthians 7 First Corinthians chapter seven is one of the most frequently quoted—and most frequently misunderstood—passages in the New Testament on marriage, divorce, and singleness.

So Great Salvation Podcast S13E2 The Christian and Divorce Pt 2 Are All Marriages "Joined by God"?One of the most common—and least examined—assumptions in Christian discussions about marriage is the claim that every marriage, simply by virtue of its existence, is “joined together by God.” This idea is often stated confidently, repeated frequently, and rarely tested carefully against the full witne...

So Great Salvation Podcast S13E1The Christian and Divorce Pt 1: Jesus and the Pharisees Few subjects in Scripture generate more confusion—and more emotional weight—than divorce and remarriage. Yet much of that confusion arises not from what the Bible says, but from how its most difficult passages are isolated from their covenantal and historical contexts. In this episode, we will examine two often...

So Great Salvation Podcast S12E1 The Apostle Paul Vindicated In recent years, a growing number of online voices—often operating outside historic theological frameworks—have revived an old accusation under a new guise: that the apostle Paul was not a true witness of Christ, but rather a corrupter of Jesus’ message, an opponent of the original apostles, or even, in the most extreme claims, the antic...

So Great Salvation S11E4 Church Pt 4: Government / Ecclesiastical Polity From the earliest pages of the New Testament, the church is portrayed not as a religious institution divided into spiritual elites and passive observers, but as a living, functioning body—animated by Christ Himself and sustained through the shared ministry of all believers. Yet history tells a different story. Somewhere betwe...

So Great Salvation Podcast⁠ S11E3 Church Pt 3. Biblical Church Polity From the earliest pages of the New Testament, the church is presented not as a religious institution divided into spiritual elites and passive observers, but as a living body—each member functioning, each part contributing, all under the headship of Christ. Yet somewhere along the way, that simplicity was lost. This episode addr...

So Great Salvation Podcast S11E2 Church Pt 2. They Met in Houses! “How is it then, brethren? when ye come together…” With these words in 1 Corinthians 14:26, the apostle Paul paints a striking picture of early Christian assembly. Each believer arrives not as a passive spectator, but as a participant—bringing a psalm, a doctrine, a revelation, an interpretation. Yet this vibrant participation is no...
