Podcasts about Biblical authority

Southeast Baptist Podcast features the preaching and teaching of Pastor John Ray, the senior pastor of Southeast Baptist Tabernacle in Indianapolis, IN. His preaching is biblical, conversational, and encouraging as you pursue a Christlike walk.

Our culture today wants to have the benefits without the sacrifices, or "have our cake and eat it, too." The truth is that the Bible comes in one complete package, and it's our job to completely submit to the authority it represents. Join my friend Bill Jack and I as we discuss the cultural battle for Biblical authority and what it means in the current conversation. Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Blade Sbisa in a conversation about the very thing that makes us spiritually alive. 

 How the Bible Was Formed E2 — The Hebrew Bible, or Old Testament, is a collection of 24 scrolls, passed down for generations, that tells the long, complicated story of ancient Israel. But who wrote these scrolls, and how did they come together in their final form? And how do we understand the claim that these books are the very voice of God? In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the formation of the Hebrew Bible and the crew who shaped its stories, poems, and laws into intricately designed literary works.CHAPTERSThe First Writing Mentioned in the Torah (2:56-13:01)Prophets as a Spirit-Led, Multigenerational Literary Community (13:01-36:30)Divine Inspiration in a Diverse, Literary Mosaic (36:30-1:03:20)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESThe Lost World Series by John H.

In this compelling sermon, Pastor Karl dives into 1 Timothy Chapter 2, continuing his verse-by-verse journey through the Bible. He emphasizes the importance of sound doctrine in guiding the church and individual Christians. Pastor Karl unpacks the big idea that God's ordering is not about oppression but orchestration, designed for our protection and flourishing. He explores Paul's instructions to the church, highlighting the roles of grace, prayer, and devotion in the life of a Christ-follower. Addressing the contested passages on gender roles, Pastor Karl grounds his teaching in Genesis, explaining God's design for maleness and femaleness within the family and church. With clarity and conviction, he calls the church to rest under Scripture, embrace biblical doctrine, and live out God's complementary design as a testimony to the world. This episode challenges listeners to align with God's order, fostering unity and purpose in the church.Watch all our sermons on our YouTube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

This sermon explores key theological themes from Colossians 1:15-23. Pastor Devin breaks down eight major theological concepts including Christology, Biblical cosmology, the supremacy of Christ, soteriology (salvation), ecclesiology (church doctrine), eschatology (end times), spiritual warfare, and theology proper. The passage emphasizes Jesus' divine nature, his role as creator and sustainer of all things, and his supremacy over all creation.Discussion Questions:What does it mean that Jesus is 'the image of the invisible God'?How does understanding Jesus as Creator affect your view of Him?What does it mean that 'by Him all things hold together'?Why is it important that Jesus is the head of the church?How does Jesus' blood bring reconciliation between God and humans?What does it mean to remain 'grounded and steadfast in the faith'?How do you distinguish between God's sovereign will and His relational will?What areas of your life need to be brought under Christ's supremacy?Support the show

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Pastor Blade Sbisa in a conversation about death. The world offers many claims and assumptions about the end of our lives, but the Bible provides truth we can rely on. 

Episode SummaryIn this powerful continuation of his series on The Believer's Authority, Dr. Jim Van Gelderen shares how believers can experience real victory over Satan—not by personal strength, but by being fully submitted to Christ. Reflecting on the recent passing of his prayer-warrior mother-in-law, Dr. Van Gelderen weaves together personal testimony, scriptural truth, and vivid illustrations to show how spiritual authority flows from surrender. When you're under Christ's authority, you stand over the enemy—and he must flee.Topics DiscussedRemembering Janet Cross and her legacy of prayer and faithWhat it means to be “in Christ” and seated in heavenly places (Ephesians 1–2)Christ's victory over Satan and the believer's shared triumphJames 4:7 and the conditions for resisting the devilDelegated authority illustrated with a traffic cop and a mother's commandWhy praying “in Jesus' name” is more than a phraseResisting Satan's influence in weather, illness, and other real-life situationsTotal surrender and total dependence as the foundation for authorityKey TakeawaysSpiritual authority is not earned through strength, but accessed through submission.Christ's victory over Satan is final, and believers share in that authority when yielded to Him.Praying “in Jesus' name” means aligning with His will and authority, not just using a phrase.We must not be passive in the spiritual battle; resisting Satan is an active responsibility.Whether facing external circumstances or internal battles, the path to victory is the same: under authority, over the enemy.

Born out of a desire to uphold biblical authority and orthodox Christian faith, the Global Methodist Church is a new denomination with deep historical roots. In this conversation, Pastor Jeff Cranston sits down with Reverend Scott Patterson to explore the history and formation of the Global Methodist Church. Reverend Scott shares his personal journey through the United Methodist Church, the challenges that led to the Global Methodist formation, and the vision for this new movement in modern Methodism.

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Pastor Blade Sbisa to discuss what it means to be human according to the Bible. Our world often pressures us to define ourselves by temporary external categories, but the Bible challenges us to look deeper and ground our identity in Christ. 

In this second installment of our conversation with Pastor Erik Janke of May River Lutheran Church, we go deeper into the sacramental life of the Lutheran Church—exploring what Lutherans believe about communion, baptism, and the authority of Scripture.Pastor Jeff and Pastor Erik unpack some of the differences between the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) and other branches of Lutheranism, including the ELCA and Missouri Synod, and why staying grounded in God's Word is at the heart of it all.

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Pastor Blade Sbisa in a conversation about human thoughts. The world teaches people to evaluate and respond to the circumstances of life with self at the center, while the Bible charges people to view themselves in relation to the Lord. 

Episode SummaryIn this opening episode of The Believer's Authority series, Dr. Jim Van Gelderen lays the biblical foundation for victorious Christian living. Drawing from Ephesians and Colossians, he explains how every believer is spiritually seated with Christ in heavenly places, far above all demonic powers. This critical truth shifts the battlefield and shows young people that victory over the enemy is not only possible—it's already been won.Topics DiscussedTestimony of Pastor Marty Moon's salvation and call to preachThe believer's identification with Christ's death, resurrection, and ascensionWhat it means to be “seated in heavenly places” (Ephesians 2:6)The biblical reality that Satan is already defeated (Colossians 2:14-15)Understanding spiritual authority vs. spiritual powerThe necessity of submission to Christ in exercising His authority (James 4:7)A preview of the next steps: appropriation and actionKey TakeawaysYour spiritual position matters—you are in Christ, seated far above the enemy.You're not fighting for victory; you're fighting from victory.Satan is already defeated at the cross—you don't ask for victory; you claim it.Submission is the gateway to authority—you can only exercise Christ's authority when you're under it.Knowing truth is step one—appropriating and acting on it comes next.

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Pastor Blade Sbisa in a continuing conversation about what makes us human. This week, we look at God's Word on concepts of gender and sex. 

Episode Summary:You need to sit down for this episode.Mercer University's Dr. Angela Parker joins me today on the podcast for a heart-wrenching conversation about white supremacy, intersectionality, womanist theology, authoritarian Christianity, decolonization, Kamala Harris, and her sought-after book, If God Still Breathes, Why Can't I? According to Eerdmans Publishing House, “Angela Parker wasn't just trained to be a biblical scholar; she was trained to be a White male biblical scholar. She is neither White nor male.” Thank God.Womanist theology is a methodological approach to theology that centers the experiences and perspectives of Black women, particularly African-American women. Emerging in the mid to late 1980s, it serves as a corrective to early feminist theology—which often overlooked racial issues—and Black theology, which predominantly reflected male viewpoints. In plain language, Womanist theology interprets the Bible, Christianity, and life here in the American empire through the eyes and lived experiences of Black women.As a Black scholar who traces her family history out of slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, and into the halls of higher education, Dr. Parker talks candidly about what it means to be an educated Black woman in both predominantly white higher education and Trump's MAGA America.I know I say this a lot, but this is one of the most important conversations we've had to date on Holy Heretics.If the United States is to survive the MAGA cult, it will be through the embodied actions, wisdom, spirituality, and lived experience of Black women and men who understand what it takes to resist, regroup, and offer the world a beautiful invitation into God's beloved, alternative community. In the context of Trump's America, characterized by racist policies and rhetoric, Womanist theology is particularly poignant. By offering a framework that not only addresses the intersections of race, gender, and class, “womanism” also actively resists the oppressive structures of White America.BIO:Rev. Dr. Angela N. Parker is associate professor of New Testament and Greek at McAfee School of Theology at Mercer University. She received her B.A. in religion and philosophy from Shaw University (2008), her M.T.S. from Duke Divinity School (2008-2010) and her Ph.D. in Bible, culture, and hermeneutics from Chicago Theological Seminary (2015). Before this position, Dr. Parker was assistant professor of Biblical Studies at The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology. She teaches courses in New Testament, Greek Exegesis, the Gospel of Mark, the Corinthians Correspondence, the Gospel of John, and Womanist and Feminist Hermeneutics unto preaching.In her research, Dr. Parker merges Womanist thought and postcolonial theory while reading biblical texts. Dr. Parker's most popular book is titled, If God Still Breathes, Why Can't I: Black Lives Matter and Biblical Authority. In this book, Dr. Parker draws from her experience as a Womanist New Testament scholar in order to deconstruct one of White Christianity's most pernicious lies: the conflation of biblical authority with the doctrines of inerrancy and infallibility. As Dr. Parker shows, these doctrines are less about the text of the Bible itself and more about the arbiters of its interpretation—historically, White males in positions of power who have used Scripture to justify control over marginalized groups. This oppressive use of the Bible has been suffocating. To learn to breathe again, Dr. Parker says, we must “let God breathe in us.”Please Follow us on social media (use the buttons below) and help us get the word out!

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Kevin J. Vanhoozer about his recent work in biblical hermeneutics. In our conversation, we discuss Mere Christian Hermeneutics: Transfiguring What It Means to Read the Bible Theologically (Zondervan). Topics include: What does it mean to be biblical? What is the literal sense? Can biblical interpretation change the world?   Vanhoozer is Research Professor of Systematic Theology at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. His other books that we mention in this discussion are Is There Meaning in this Text, Dictionary for Theological Interpretation, and Biblical Authority after Babel.     This podcast is hosted by Ched Spellman (https://linktr.ee/chedspellman).

In this long-form installment of the Ps+ we join Pastor Eric Phillips in a conversation about our flesh, what the Bible says about it, and how we can trust the Lord to deal with it to the glory of God. 

Parents, today I want to encourage you to step back and take stock of the preaching ministry at your church. You see, we are living in a day and age when the cultural agenda is shaping the content of many sermons, when it should be the Word of God faithfully interpreted and preached that should be shaping our response to the culture. In his excellent book, “Faithful Leaders and the Things That Matter Most”, Rico Tice tells leaders that the preacher God approves of,  according to second Timothy two fifteen, is the one who correctly handles the word of truth. Tice says that the faithful preaching of God's Word will feed souls, while false teaching feeds on souls. He writes, “False teaching dazzles, then it distorts, then it diverts, and finally it destroys.” In order to faithfully fulfill our nurturing responsibilities as Christian parents, we need to be regularly fed as we sit under the faithful preaching of God's Word. Are you at a church which upholds biblical authority? 

Why should we commit ourselves to the Bible's authority? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper highlights J.I. Packer's defense of biblical authority and its vital role in shaping the church.

2 Peter 1 : 20-21

This week on Ask the Pastor, Pastor J.D. starts a brand new series called, "Why Does It Matter." Listen as he unpacks  the significance of the Bible's authority, inerrancy, and its role in Christian life.

Settle in, listeners. Jen and Amy have invited Greek and New Testament professor and scholar, Reverend Dr. Angela N. Parker to the show to reflect on the Advent season with some words of hope and liberation. She took our butts to seminary, opening our eyes to what it looks like when you examine the scripture through the lens of womanist theology and the experiences of Black women. But as Dr. Parker tells us, “I've lived long enough to know that God will bring me through but sometimes it's hard and sometimes it hurts. But even after the hurt, the tender spots get more resilient.” There's so much to unpack in this one. Jen and Amy discuss their favorite Christmas movies and debate whether classics like Gremlins and Die Hard fit the genre  Dr. Parker explains how liberation is a collective journey, not an individual one – and how everyone, including white men, can need it. We learn how understanding the historical context of scripture is vital for its interpretation. And we also talk about some of the holiday hullabaloo we're ready to Bless and Release this season. *** Thought-provoking Quotes: “If I'm liberated, I don't want to be liberated alone.” – Dr. Angela N. Parker “We don't want to think about the early church being enslavers.” – Dr. Angela N. Parker “If our biblical text is wrestling with the idea of empire from Genesis to Revelation, we are wrestling with empire as well.” –– Dr. Angela N. Parker “When we work as a collective, we actually do better to transform society.” – Dr. Angela N. Parker “The tree at the end of Revelation 21 has the leaves for the healing of all the “Ethnae”, for all the ethnicities, for all the nations. That's what John the Revelator sees in his final vision.” – Dr. Angela N. Parker “In my own work, I talk about how I try to even get whiteness out of me. Even as an African American woman born and raised in these United States, there are elements of whiteness that are in me, on me and a part of me. That's just what we swim in.” – Dr. Angela N. Parker “Hope breaks forth in the midst of terror, fear, and overwhelm. It's normal to have [those feelings]. Don't trick yourself into ignoring them. It's best for us to acknowledge what is going on around us but to remember that hope breaks through.” – Dr. Angela N. Parker “I've lived long enough to know that God will bring me through but sometimes it's still hard and sometimes it still hurts. But even after the hurt, the tender spots get more resilient.” – Dr. Angela N.

Sermon from 11-10-2024

Pastor Jim Osman explores how finding refuge in Christ requires submission to His divine kingship. Through an analysis of Psalm 2:10-12, he explains how rulers and all people must give attention to God's warning, offer proper worship, and pledge allegiance to the Son. Finding refuge in Christ means embracing His authority and turning from rebellion to reconciliation, understanding that true blessing comes through submission to God's appointed King. ★ Support this podcast ★

Ken welcomes historian, author, and media commentator Martyn Whittock from his home across the Pond just outside London. Martyn read Ken's Substack series on Biblical Authority and reached out with some comments. It prompted this lively conversation - and led to another focus: Martyn's article recently published in the UK - How US Evangelicals Could Affect the Entire World. Whittock, a licensed minister in the Church of England, is a self-described “Evangelical.” For years, he has been a student of American Evangelicalism. He gives us a fascinating insight into the differences between our two countries: in America - the preponderance of MAGA Evangelicals, and in Britain - a very different sort of evangelical. Martyn expresses his deep concern over the prospect of a second term for the 45th President not only for the USA. He believes a second Trump Presidency will have an egregious adverse effect on Europe and the entire world. He explains this in considerable detail. Then, Ken asks Martyn about two recent appearances on British television as a history specialist. In the first, Martyn comments on the recent terror attack in Moscow that killed over one hundred in a large theater. In the second, he is asked about the Princess of Wales and the conspiracy theories that surrounded her hospital stay and absence from public life. You can see those clips by clicking on the links.

When a church leaves God, the Gospel, and the Bible, the Holy Spirit and the people follow. And it becomes a mishmash of things human beings can think up to do that “they think” might be good. At that point, it's already lost. It's a monument/mausoleum to the things of this world. Open a Bible to Acts 15 and follow along with Pastor Kyle.

Biblical Authority and Big Tent Churches 2 Timothy 3: 16-17Travis Collins

Christians can often be tempted to bristle underneath the authorities God has given us. It can be hard to submit to certain authorities in our lives, and sometimes it can be hard to discern how far submission should go.  This week, Janet and Jocelyn discuss a biblical basis for authorities and submission–not only in marriage, but throughout the Christian life.  Episode Transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources Books Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood - John Piper and Wayne Grudem Men and Women in the Church: A Short, Biblical, Practical Introduction - Kevin DeYoung Blogs Complementarianism A Moment of Reckoning Part 1 - Jonathan Leeman R.
