Because of original sin and the corrupt nature of the human heart from birth, the great need image bearers have is a Mediator between God and man. Jesus is our mediator, our go between but in what ways or "offices" does he do this? 

Jesus used many titles for himself, but what do they mean? In this episode we explore 4 of the most popular titles of Jesus. 

What does it mean that Jesus is fully God and fully man? In this episode (part 2) Luke and JT explore the humanity of Christ and how that applies to our lives today. It is imperative that as Christians we uphold that deity and humanity of Christ in the face of so many errors. 

What do you say to the person who claims Jesus was a created being? Or that Jesus was simply a political activist and nothing more than an iconic moral teacher. In the following episodes JT Stead and Luke Dirkse begin the study of the persona and work of Jesus Christ. Our Hope is that this episode like others would increase your faith in Jesus as our Savior and Lord. 

Is Christianity a religion of rules or grace? How do I make sense of all the commands in scripture? Do they mean anything to us today? In this episode we dive into the different functions of the law in the Christian life. 

Does God govern all things according to his will or chance?  In the Hymn "God moves in Mysterious Ways" by William Cowper He writes: "Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust him for his grace. Behind a frowning providence, He hides a smiling face." God executes his will in two ways, first through his work of creation and second through his work of providence. Int today's episode we will look at the long lost doctrine of God's providence. 

God executes his will in two ways, first through his work of creation and second through his work of providence. The Baptist Catechism states: Q. 13. What is the work of creation? A. The work of creation is God's making all things of nothing, by the Word of His power, in the space of six days, and all very good. (Gen. 1:1; Heb. 11:3; Ex. 20:11; Gen. 1:31)  

What is God's will for my life? How can I know what God's will is? In this episode we explore the will of God as revealed in scripture to us. 

If someone were to ask you what is the trinity? how would you respond? Describing the doctrine of the trinity is like walking a tight rope. One wrong statement and you may be entering into an ancient heresy. Though we want to be careful, the trinity is a watershed doctrine that is vital to the Christian life and salvation. 

Knowing God effects our living for God. In this episode Luke and JT explore the Attributes of God that have been communicated to human beings through his word. If last episode was on the ways God is unlike us, then in this episode we look at the ways we as creation reflect God's character. We hope and pray this encourages you in your worship of God. 

In the study of who God is there are some attributes that God shares with us and others that he doesn't. In this episode we look at all the attributes of God that our foreign to us finite human beings. Theologians call these the incommunicable attributes of God. We hope this episode draws your attention to the amazing God we serve. 

John Calvin famously wrote that we will never be able to see ourselves rightly until we first see God rightly. Sometimes our thoughts of god are far too human and in this episode we discover just how small we are s human. How much can we know about God? 

Have you every talked to someone who has a completely different interpretation of scripture? Why is that? Is there multiple interpretations to the Bible or only one? do you know the basics of bible study. In this episode we dive into all of these questions as we seek to interpret the Bible the same way the apostles and Jesus did.

Can we really rely on scripture? Does the church or tradition have just as much authority as Scripture? Can we rely on secular resources as well as scripture? The sufficiency of scripture is the litmus test that reveals just how much people trust the word of God. There are "christians" who uphold the beliefs of scripture's authority, inspiration, and inerrancy yet in practice scripture is not the most sufficient source of truth for them. 

Is the Bible 100% accurate with no mistakes? Can I trust the Bible? What is Jesus' view of the Bible and it's accuracy? As followers of Jesus we hold to the same convictions as He does, that the Bible is inerrant. 

Who wrote the Bible? Where did it come from? What is its origin? The doctrine of the inspiration of scripture is vital to answering this question. We hope it is encouraging to you.    Articles: Inspiration of Scripture - Reformed Study Bible

General Revelation teaches that all human beings have some knowledge of God. Special Revelation teaches that we can know God specifically through his revealed word.    Articles:  What is Special Revelation?
