Title: Review Of Israel's Rebellion Speaker: Jim Butler Series: Studies in Deuteronomy Date: April 15, 2026 Bible: Deuteronomy 9:1-29
Paul concludes his most difficult epistle with a profound Trinitarian blessing that reveals the distinct persons and unified work of the Trinity. Despite the Corinthians' criticism of his ministry, their acceptance of false apostles, and their various church problems, Paul offers them grace from Christ, love from the Father, and communion from the Holy Spirit. This benediction demonstrates how theological truth provides the foundation for restored relationships and Christian fellowship even in the midst of conflict. Scripture references: 2 Corinthians 13:14
This session examines baptism in the Old Testament, challenging the common Presbyterian argument that circumcision is the Old Testament equivalent of baptism. The speaker argues that Baptists have allowed Reformed paedobaptists to set the terms of debate and seeks to reclaim the home field advantage by taking circumcision off the table as a baptismal argument. The session demonstrates that baptism must be understood through different Old Testament categories and precedents, not through the covenant theology framework typically used to support infant baptism. This is the first part of a three-part seminar designed to equip Baptist churches against arguments for infant baptism. Scripture references: Various Old Testament passages related to ceremonial washings and religious practices.
What is Federal Vision, and why does it matter for how we understand salvation?

What does it mean to have faith? Is it a feeling? A level of sincerity? A spiritual intensity you can measure?

In this episode, Pastor Jim Butler and Pastor Cameron Porter give honest, practical guidance: what to read first if you don't believe yet, where to start if you're a new Christian, why prayerless Bible reading can actually do more harm than good, and why your phone habit might be the biggest obstacle between you and the Word of God.

If my sins are forgiven and cast into the deepest sea, remembered no more, what will I give account for on Judgment Day? This question addresses the tension between complete forgiveness through justification by faith and the biblical teaching of a coming Day of Judgment. Pastor Jim Butler explains how the Day of Judgment functions not as an investigation to determine our status, but as a confirmation of what God has already done—a manifestation of the glory of His mercy through the righteousness of Christ.
