In this episode, James Kaczor and I continue discussing the Doctrine of God and the Person of Christ. Here we aim not only to show that the Bible teaches the true humanity of Jesus (that he is "Like us in all respects, apart from sin") but we also aim to draw out some of the theological and practical significance of this reality. Jeremiah 9:23-24 2…

In this episode, James Kaczor and I continue our discussion of the Doctrine of God by focusing on the Divine nature of Jesus. The New Testament presents Jesus as not just a man but as God incarnate. And it does this in a great variety of ways. Some of these ways are simple and obvious and some of these ways are more subtle. Our goal in this episode…

This episode is a short sermon by James Kaczor from John 7:37-39. In this sermon, James explains how these few short verses have much to say about who Jesus is and what he has come to do! John 7:37-39 37 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes i…

In this episode, James Kaczor and I build on the previous one, where we discussed some of the Trinitarian hints of the Old Testament. Our goal is to show beyond the shadow of a doubt, that the New Testament undeniably teaches the Doctrine of the Trinity, and brings further clarity to what is hinted throughout the Old Testament. We believe this is a…

In this episode, James Kaczor and I continue our discussion on the Doctrine of God and specifically the Doctrine of the Trinity. We firmly believe (along with all of historic and orthodox Christianity) that the one God is and has always existed as a Trinity of Persons, each person being truly God. And even though we don't get a fully revealed doctr…

In this episode, Joshua Molden and I give an introduction to the Doctrine of the Trinity. After establishing our need of the Scriptures for a sufficient knowledge of God (previous episode), we now begin to examine what the Scriptures reveal to us about God, and we begin with this glorious doctrine of the Trinity. Our goal in the episode is to lay o…

Is it possible for humans to know God apart from the Bible? If it is, what can we learn about God? Is it possible to know God through the use of human reason? Or what about observing God's creation? Are these things enough for a person to be saved? In this episode, we discuss the necessity of Special Revelation (i.e. the Bible) for a saving knowled…

In this episode, James and I introduce a new series we're beginning on the Doctrine of God. In doing so, our prayer for our listeners is much like that of the Apostle Peter for his readers - that you might "grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 3:18) and like that of the Apostle Paul to the Colossians - that …

In this episode, Joshua Molden preaches a short sermon from Joshua chapter 6. In this chapter of the Bible, we find the ancient people of God taking their first steps into the promised land and facing off against the city of Jericho. This was the land that God had promised to give to Abraham and his offspring hundreds of years earlier (Genesis 12:1…

This episode is a short sermon by James Kaczor on Esther Chapter 6. In the book of Esther we find something very interesting, and it's that there is no mention of God anywhere in the entire book. This is especially strange considering that the different names for God (God/Lord) are by far the most commonly found nouns in the Bible (Because the Bibl…

This episode is a 20-minute sermon on the first 12 verses of the book of Job. Even though the book of Job is perhaps the oldest book in the Bible, it deals with an issue that is relevant to every age and every culture. That issue is the reality of human suffering. This is an issue that we all must face and it's an issue that confounds the best of h…

This episode is a sermon on Psalm 49 which I (Jackson) gave at River City Church in Fargo, ND, on August 20th, 2023. This is a Psalm that confronts us with the reality of eternity, shows us the insufficiency of earthly wealth, and points us to the greatest of all treasures, which is the person and work of Jesus Christ! Psalm 39:4-5 4 “O Lord, make …

In this episode, James and I discuss the Spiritual Discipline of Christian Fellowship. As creatures made in the image and likeness of a Triune God, we are made to be relational and exist in community. As redeemed Christians, we are commanded to partake in the fellowship of the saints. In this episode, we talk about all of the blessings that this br…

In this episode James and I discuss the great privilege of prayer. We rejoice in the fact that God has first spoken to us, and that he invites us to speak back to him.

"Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word which comes from…

In this episode, James and I discuss the importance of hearing, reading, and studying the Word of God. As Christians, we are called to build the foundation of our lives upon the solid rock of God's word. It is this same word that is the primary means that God uses to save and sanctify his people. As such it is imperative for the Christian to be imm…

The title of this episode is very self-explanatory. The point is to give some practical tips that have helped us to make our phones less of a distraction and more of a helpful tool. Our phones have many great capabilities, but they can also be very harmful. As Christians, we need to evaluate our phone usage and seek to maximize what is good (what g…

We live in a day and age where the quick and convenient is much preferred to the slow and tedious. However, the Christian is called to a lifestyle of diligence and patience in seeking God and growing in godliness. One of the primary ways we we are called to do this is through the use of spiritual disciplines. In this episode, we discuss the definit…

Can a born again Christian lose their salvation? This is the question we discuss in this episode. The doctrine of the Perseverance of the Saints states that all who have been truly born again will be persevered by the grace of God until their salvation is final and complete. A true Christian cannot lose their salvation. In the episode we define the…

In this episode, James and I continue our series on the doctrines of grace and we discuss what is commonly referred to as Irresistible Grace or Effectual Calling.
