On this special weekend in America, we look at the biblical foundations of our country and why religion and morality are the pillars of our democracy.

Week 4 (June 28): Glory That Outweighs It All  Romans 8:18–39  Romans 8 ends with one of the most sweeping declarations in Scripture. Paul has just described  groaning creation, a Spirit interceding with wordless prayers, and suffering that does not feel  redemptive from the inside. Then he makes the turn. None of it compares to the glory that is  coming. This is not wishful thinking. It is the lo...

Week 3 (June 21): Life in the Spirit  Romans 8:1–17  Romans 8 opens with one of the most consequential sentences in the New Testament: there is  no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. This is a theological truth claim, and getting  it right, or wrong, has massive implications for our identity and how we live the Christian  experience. When Paul makes this statement, he’s not just being...

Week 2 (June 14): The Law, the Flesh, and the War Within Romans 7  If grace produces new life, why does the Christian still feel the pull toward the old one? Romans  7 is Paul’s honest answer to that question. Before he gets there, he closes the loop on grace  and the law: through Christ’s death, the believer has been released from the law the way a  widow is released from her husband. The old uni...

Week 1 (June 7): Dead to Sin, Alive to God  Romans 6  Grace is not just a legal declaration. It is a death and a resurrection. Paul opens Romans 6 with  the most provocative question in the letter: if grace abounds where sin increases, why not keep  sinning? His answer cuts straight to the bone. You can’t. Because you died. Union with Christ in  His death means the old self is not reformed, it is...

What Islam and Christianity teach about the end times  The final installment looks forward to what the Bible and Islam teach about the end  times. By examining this, we are able to see how a view of what’s coming shapes the  behavior of people in the present.   In the final week, we study Jesus and the Biblical end times. We then contrast the  Hadith and its teachings on the Mahdi, Isa, and conque...

Week 8 (May 31): Two Kingdoms, Two Adams: The Reign of  Grace  Romans 5:12-21  This week confronts the little g gods of self-rule, human progress, and the belief  that humanity can ultimately fix itself. Paul steps back to explain the deeper  story behind sin and salvation. Through Adam, sin and death entered the world  and spread to every person, placing humanity under the rule of condemnation. ...

Week 7 (May 24): Peace With God: The Results of Justification Romans 5:1-11  This week confronts the little g gods of striving, insecurity, and the fear that our  standing with God depends on our performance. Paul explains what changes  when a person is justified by faith. Hostility with God is replaced by peace,  distance by access to grace, and uncertainty by confident hope.  The message will ex...

Week 6 (May 17): Faith Before the Law: Abraham’s Example Romans 4  This week confronts the little g gods of spiritual pedigree, religious identity, and  inherited faith. Paul points to Abraham to prove that righteousness has never  been earned through law, ritual, or heritage. Long before circumcision or the  giving of the law, Abraham was declared righteous because he believed God’s  promise.  Th...

How Christian Civilization Forgot What It Was Fighting For  This installment shifts inward to examine the internal collapse of the West.  Theologically, it explores what happens when nations forget God and embrace  neutrality as a false ideal. Historically, it traces the rise of secularism, relativism, and  historical amnesia.  The session argues that Islam did not fundamentally change, but the We...

Week 5 (May 10): Righteousness Revealed: Justified by Faith Romans 3:21–31  This week confronts the little g gods of merit, religious achievement, and the  belief that righteousness can be earned. After exposing humanity’s universal  guilt, Paul announces the turning point of the gospel: God Himself provides the  righteousness we could never produce. Through the sacrifice of Jesus, God  remains pe...

The Battles That Stopped Islamic Conquest of Europe and What We Learn  This installment explores the moments when Christian civilization resisted annihilation.  Theologically, it reclaims biblical teaching on just defense, courage, and legitimate  authority. Historically, it examines Tours, Lepanto, and Vienna as decisive moments  that preserved Europe. The Crusades are addressed directly, neither...

Week 4 (May 3): Guilty Before God: The Need for Grace Romans 3:1–20  This week confronts the little g gods of self-justification, religious privilege, and  the belief that we can defend ourselves before God. Paul gathers the testimony  of Scripture and delivers a sweeping verdict: all people, Jew and Gentile alike,  stand under the power of sin. Heritage, knowledge, and moral comparison  cannot re...

Dhimmis Slavery and the Reality of Islamic Rule  This installment examines daily life under Islamic rule once conquest was complete.  Theologically, it contrasts Christianity’s doctrine of the image of God and equal human  dignity with Islamic legal hierarchies that institutionalized inequality through dhimmitude,  jizya taxation, and sanctioned slavery.  Historically, the session documents how co...

Week 3 (April 26): No Excuses: Moralism Exposed Romans 2  This week confronts the little g gods of self-righteousness, religious pride, and  hypocritical judgment. Paul shifts from obvious rebellion to those who believe  their knowledge of truth and moral clarity place them safely on God’s side. Yet  condemning sin in others while excusing it in ourselves only reveals the same  brokenness of heart...

Week 2 (April 19): God Gives Them Over: The Cost of  Idolatry  Romans 1:24–32  This week confronts the little g gods of desire, pleasure, sexual autonomy, and  expressive individualism. Paul describes what happens when humanity  persistently rejects God’s authority. Rather than forcing obedience, God often  allows people to pursue the very things they insist will satisfy them.  The message will ex...

How Half the Christian World Fell in a Single Century  This installment traces the explosive Islamic conquests of the seventh and eighth  centuries, during which vast portions of historic Christendom were lost. It introduces the  doctrine of dhimmitude as a theological and legal system governing conquered peoples  and contrasts it with the biblical concept of stewardship, watchfulness, and ordered...

Comparing the Reliability of the Bible and the Quran  This installment puts the holy books of Christianity and Islam under the microscope. It  examines the overwhelming manuscript evidence for the Bible—over 5,800 Greek New  Testament manuscripts, the Dead Sea Scrolls, hundreds of fulfilled prophecies, and  consistent archaeological confirmation—and contrasts it with the Quran’s troubled  textual...

Week 1 (April 12): The Truth Suppressed: When Creation  Points to God  Romans 1:18–23  This week confronts the little g gods of autonomy, intellectual pride, and self made truth. Paul explains that God has already revealed Himself through creation in ways that are clear and undeniable. The problem is not that humanity  lacks evidence, but that it actively suppresses what it knows to be true.  The...

Comparing the Life of Muhammad and the Life of Jesus  April 8th, 2026 - Pastor Nate Brown This installment places the founders of Christianity and Islam side by side. It contrasts  Jesus’s sinless life, sacrificial death, and bodily resurrection with Muhammad’s many  wives, bloody conquests, and the manner of his death—which fulfilled the very test he  himself prescribed for identifying a false pr...

How Islam United Theology, Politics, and War From the Beginning Midweek - April 1st, 2026 This opening installment begins in seventh-century Arabia by contrasting the nature of Christ’s kingdom with the origins of Islam. It establishes that Christianity advances through repentance, truth, and sacrificial love, while Islam from its inception unites belief, law, and coercive power. Theologically, th...
