Should we find entertainment in the injury of others? Kevin and Joshua discuss the recent UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House, noting the similarity to gladiatorial games. They ask what our forefathers said about this, and whether there is a connection between gladiators, body-piercing, and even child sacrifice. Then they go to scripture to ask if we must respect the body as part the image of God, and whether we can delight in violence.
As we continue in our Summer series, Rob preaches on a handful of verses about manhood according to the Bible. There is a high calling of humility and discipline, but the Lord does not make us walk it alone.
How are we to treat the bodies of those who have passed? Is cremation allowed? What happens at the Resurrection?
Send us Fan MailWe continue our discussion of the Lutheran Church denomination in this episode. We review their belief and teaching that justification is by faith alone. We note what James says in chapter two where he says that faith without works is dead, along with the full context. We also note several other passages that show this Lutheran belief to be in error. We next look at the Lutheran teaching that baptism can be done by sprinkling, pouring or immersion. We note the meaning of the Greek word, baptizo, which is to immerse, dip or plunge. We again note that in several passages, the Bible says that baptism is a burial in water. We next examine the Lutheran teaching that little children are to be baptized. We discuss the fact that there is no example in the New Testament where infants were baptized. We note that only believers and those who could confess and repent were baptized in the New Testament. They also teach and believe that children inherit sin. We talk about the passages in the Bible that say this is not so. We find in the Lutheran Catechism that there are a number of errors taught concerning the Lord's Supper. We look at those and note the passages that show their teaching to be in error. Concerning the Ten Commandments, the Lutheran Church teaches that they are still in effect. The Bible says there was a change in the law, and it tells us when that change occurred. We discuss the passages that say that. We complete this episode with a discussion of another error the Lutheran teaches concerning baptism and circumcision. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on our discussion. Have your Bible handy so you can verify what we are saying, There is a transcript of this Buzzsprout episode provided for your convenience.

Send us Fan MailWe continue our study of denominations by next looking at what the Bible says about the Lutheran Church. Of course, the truth is that the Lutheran Church is not mentioned in the Bible. The Lutheran Church was one of the first of the many Protestant churches formed out of the protests against Catholicism during the Reformation Movement. It dates from All Saints Day, October 31, 1517. We discuss what Luther did on that day and why his actions are so important to know. We need to understand that Luther's intention was to identify where the Roman Catholic Church failed to follow the Bible, not to establish the Lutheran Church. We look at Luther's background and what led to him nailing his 95 theses to the door of the church building in Wittenburg, Germany. We discuss the debate he had and the resulting trials and his excommunication from the Catholic Church. We talk about the greatest error he made when he began teaching that men are justified by faith only and what he said about the epistle of James. We discuss this later in this episode. We note that the Lutheran Church claims to follow the Bible as their only standard of authority. but have nine creeds and confessions that they require their members to be loyal to. We quote a number of their writings that show this to be true. We next begin to look at some doctrines, teachings and views of the Lutheran Church. We begin by looking at their teaching that men are justified by faith alone and two places in their writings that this is stated. We discuss several passages in the Bible that show this to be false. We will continue this discussion next week. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on our discussion.

In this episode of That Ain't In the Bible, Jonathan and Brandon step directly into one of the fastest ways to start a church argument: music styles in worship. Should church music be traditional? Contemporary? Hymns only? Full band? Choir and orchestra? Acoustic? Loud? Quiet? And perhaps the biggest question of all: does the Bible actually command one specific style of music for the church?With a few spicy hot takes and some honest pushback against personal preferences disguised as biblical mandates, the guys discuss what Scripture does clearly command—namely that believers are to worship, sing, and glorify God together. At the same time, they challenge listeners to be careful not to elevate cultural tastes and personal opinions to the level of divine instruction.Because while singing praises to God is absolutely in the Bible…the commandment, “Thou shalt use only this musical style”?Yeah… that ain't in the Bible.10 Key Bible Verses on Singing Article
People are leaving evangelical churches and flocking to Eastern Orthodoxy in search of something ancient, serious, and reverent. But is trading one set of forms for really the answer? Kevin and Josh weigh the claims of Orthodoxy against the Word of God — and find that the apostles say nothing about icons, prayers to saints, or the mystical epistemology at the heart of Orthodox theology.

What does the Bible say about homosexuality? In this message, we examine what Scripture teaches about God's design for marriage, sexuality, and holiness. Looking at key passages throughout both the Old and New Testaments, we consider how God's Word addresses this topic and why it remains important for Christians to understand and respond to with both truth and love.This sermon also addresses several common questions and objections surrounding homosexuality, while emphasizing the authority of Scripture, the call to repentance, and the hope of the gospel. Ultimately, this is not a message of condemnation but of redemption—pointing to the grace, forgiveness, cleansing, and transformation that are available through Jesus Christ for all who turn to Him in faith.

In this episode of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Drew and Tim tackle one of the most divisive conversations in modern Christianity: false teachers, discernment, church culture, and the rise of “heresy hunter” content online. Right now, social media is flooded with clips calling pastors heretics, false teachers, or wolves—and many Christians are left wondering:What actually makes someone a false teacher?Is every bad sermon automatically heresy?Can a pastor say something wrong without being condemned?And what's the difference between biblical discernment and a critical spirit?This episode dives deep into:what scripture says about false teacherswhy context matters with online sermon clipshow church culture can unintentionally produce critical peoplethe dangers of outrage-based Christianityand why believers must know scripture for themselves instead of living off internet callout cultureDrew and Tim also share personal stories from ministry, discuss public Christian leaders like Joel Osteen, Steven Furtick, and Ravi Zacharias, and wrestle honestly with the tension between grace, truth, discernment, and accountability. At the center of the conversation is a simple reminder:Our eyes ultimately belong on Jesus—not internet controversies.

"Gosh, darn, heck, OMG"—many of our Christian forebears came to faith by being convicted of such language; yet today it is a light thing for most evangelicals. What do these words really mean, and how seriously should we take them? Kevin and Joshua go to Scripture to ask how much God cares about such language, and whether it is defiling or neutral.

Everyone has that feeling when they watch the news, or see someone get taken advantage of, that something is deeply wrong with the world. Where does that come from, and does it mean anything? This sermon looks at one of the most unjust moments in history, the trial of Jesus in John 18, and asks what it tells us about justice, power, and why we all long for things to be made right. The answer isn't just that justice is coming. It's that it has already begun.

Can you be a Christian and skip church? Kevin and Josh take that question straight to Scripture, examining Hebrews 10, Acts 2, and Ephesians 4 to show that the New Testament never envisions a believer disconnected from a local, gathered body. Far from a burden, the church is one of God's greatest gifts...a greenhouse where his people are protected, nourished, and grown.
Few doctrines stir up more unease in the modern church than the topic of hell. Even recently in the Christian podcast world, debates on the doctrine of hell have been highly publicized. Long-held assumptions about hell and damnation are being challenged by a broader cultural discomfort with the idea of divine judgment.Many believers have recently been asking: Is conscious torment biblical? Is hell a place where all the unjust live eternally? In this episode, we step into that very debate—not to inflame controversy, but to carefully examine what the Bible says about the eternal destiny of the lost, the character of God, and the urgency of the gospel.Join us as we discuss the traditional view, as well as Universalism and Annihilationism, in light of what the Bible actually says. For this conversation, we are joined by Dr. Chris Best, instructor of Missiology at the Living Faith Bible Institute.For more information on this topic, please follow the link to read the notes for Episode 269.Visit http://lfbi.org/learnmore
Jesus said go and disciple the nations. But what does that look like when you are working for a woke company, sitting in a classroom, or watching Christian influence roll back in real time? Kevin and Josh walk through the biblical case for cultural transformation, why it starts with regeneration and not legislation, and what faithfulness looks like even when you cannot see the results.
