The book of John is unique both in what it includes and what it excludes in its account of the life and works of Jesus Christ. Today, we dive into all of it in this overview episode on the gospel of John.
Today we take a look at the gospel account written by Luke, the largest contributor to the New Testament.
J. Sidlow Baxter observes:
“Whereas the emphasis in Matthew is on what Jesus said, and in Mark on what Jesus did, here in Luke it is rather on Jesus Himself.”
We’re glad to be back in The Big Book––Cover to Cover.
Michael teaches an overview of the book of Matthew and offers context for discussing the four gospel accounts this month.
“The gospel in regards to Christianity is, in fact, the best news.”
Who do you say Jesus is? Do you feel pressure from the culture pushing you away from claiming him to be the Messiah?
This is Episode 8 of “Why We Believe What We Believe”.
When we think about this doctrine of the Trinity – that there’s three persons in one Godhead, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – even for academics and Theologians, it’s a mind bending subject. It’s complicated.
Yet, Scripture has a lot to offer about the relationship not only within the Trinity, but as human beings relate to God.
Interestingly, apart from a Trinitarian Godhead, no one could be saved. In other words, if we don’t understand the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the role of those three persons; we don’t understand how a human being could be saved.
It’s interesting when faith finds its way into the Media. We have bylines and idioms that we use to talk about “Christianity” very broadly.
There are so many groups that call themselves “Christian” that it begs the question: What is a true believer?
In today’s episode Michael teaches about the Doctrine of the Trinity using supporting texts from Deuteronomy and Matthew.
