Theologia Podcast

Humans will feel secure as long as the long-suffering and compassionate God remains in heaven, aloof and removed from the day-to-day, but when he stands and begins to step down from his throne to tread upon the very portions of creation that cause humanity to be in awe, a deep and ferocious terror will grip them and the clear reality and gravitas of the holy moment will strip them of any vestige o...

This is the introduction sermon to our next series in the Book of Micah. Themes of covenant, sovereignty, idolatry, judgement, salvation and restoration are all found in this important and mighty Minor Prophet.

In a world increasingly marked by political polarization, identity conflicts, debates over human rights, and competing visions of justice, Christians are often confronted with an important question: How should our theology shape our engagement with public life? More specifically: How should the doctrine of the image of God—the imago Dei—shape a Christian's approach to contemporary political issues...

This was preached at Covenant Redeemer Baptist Church on June 21, 2026. Happy Father's Day!

Welcome to Public Theology [Theologia Publica]: Epispode 1 - The Crown and the Cross , where we explore the intersection of faith, Scripture, and the pressing questions of public life. Today we're wrestling with one of the most enduring tensions in Christian thought: How does the Bible actually present the relationship between God's sovereignty, earthly rulers, and political authority? This isn't...

Son of God These verses teach us how the Son can exercise divine judgment and generate resurrection life by his powerful word. It is because, like God, he has life-in-himself. God is self-existent; he is always ‘the living God’. Mere human beings are derived creatures; our life comes from God, and he can remove it as easily as he gave it. But to the Son, and to the Son alone, God has imparted life...

Is Jesus equal to God? Jesus declaring himself to be God (Jn 10:30 – I and the Father are one) reveals,   1.     Jesus can forgive sins like God – Mt 26:28 / Lk 2:48-49 2.     Jesus is the giver of life – John 5:21, 25, 28-29, 6:33, 10:10, 11:25, 14:6 3.     Jesus is the judge – John 8:15-16 4.     Jesus grants blessings – John 14:13, 27, 17:13 5.     Jesus exorcised demons – Luke 11:14-20 6.     ...

The man at the Pool of Bethesda was afflicted both physically and spiritually. Physically, he was lame; spiritually, he was blind. When Jesus asked him whether he wanted to be healed, rather than answering with faith or hope, he complained that no one was there to help him get into the pool. Even after receiving healing, he showed no gratitude to the one who restored him-he simply walked away with...

Pastor Tim and Pastor Paul conducted a Pulpit Exchange on May 24. Pastor Paul preached Genesis 11:9-11 at CRBC.

This sermon was preached by one of our elders, David Payan, based on Psalm 73 - a psalm of Asaph.

This sermon was preached at New West Community Church's Joint service with CRBC for the celebration of ascension day.

News of the healing strengthens the official’s belief in the Messiah. The timing is crucial for the official.  Could it be that he believes not because of someone else’s testimony or verbal accounts of Jesus’ action at the temple [cleansing], but rather now because of his personal experience of God’s grace displayed in the healing of his son? This story of the healing of the official’s son points...

Rely on the sufficiency of the Saviour. Realize we all have the opportunity to participate. Resolve to live and speak the gospel. 

Why Should You Learn and Study About the Providence of God? To reject the blasphemous statement that God is the author of evil. To demonstrate that God’s eternal power to sustain is just as great as his power to create. To deepen our convictions regarding the absolute autonomy of God and the ultimate subordination of creation to him.  

The purpose of the mission of the Son is itself grounded in the love of God the Father. This emphasizes and intensifies the love of God. It is God's conscious, free will to love. God's love displayed through the sending of his one and only Son is not based on the loveliness of the people nor their potential, but rather due to God's own character of love. These are the last words of the Lord Jesus...

Good Friday is the day we reflect and, with deep gratitude, celebrate the once-for-all sacrifice of the Lord Jesus on the cross for our debt of sin. Elder David Payan takes us through a Biblical understanding of the meaning of 'propitiation', a word that sadly is missing from many churches' vocabulary today. Yet rich in meaning and essential in application, the propitiation done by Christ is centr...

Psalm 118 is a psalm of the Lord Jesus himself. He was surrounded by enemies, attacked by Satan, the spiritual leaders of his did not seek his wisdom or his divine power, rather they sought his death.   Yet, this death would mean the demise of this priest-prophet-king, the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus would signal to the entire world that he was the Messiah and that the Father exalted...

The exaltation of the Son of Man draws men to the cross and then to the empty tomb. The Father gives faith – the Son procures atonement and ransom; the Spirit unites the believer to Christ. The union of believers with Christ furnishes the basis for the spiritual unity of all believers, and consequently for the communion of the saints. They are animated by the same spirit, filled with the same love...

According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,   Titus 3:4–7 (ESV) 4 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy...

The Psalms show little nuance on eternal matters. Two ways, two paths, two chairs. One leads to righteousness and eternal life, the other leads to wickedness and destruction.  In this sermon, David Payan, an elder at CRBC, unpacks Psalm 1, its connection to Ephesians 2, and the implications of choosing the wrong chair.
