What does it actually mean to be made in the image of God? In this episode of Thinking Christian's Prepped Series, Dr. James Spencer dives deep into one of the Bible’s most profound claims about humanity. Exploring five major views—the substantive, functional, relational, filial, and Christological—James traces how each contributes to our understanding of human worth, purpose, and calling. But he doesn’t stop with theology. He challenges how modern culture often weaponizes the “image of God” language, embracing its benefits while ignoring its demands. This episode offers a robust, multi-faceted take on the Imago Dei—and it will reshape how you think about human dignity, personal responsibility, and discipleship in a world eager to affirm identity without submitting to the One who defines it.

What was it like to be a Christian in the earliest centuries after the resurrection of Christ? How did theological thinking and the understandings of authority develop? Dr. George Kalantzis helps us consider the layers of complexity that early Christians wrestled with as the church was established. George points out the important place of canon, creeds, apostolicity and ethics, underpinned by submission to the Holy Spirit. Born and raised in Athens, Greece, George brings a unique perspective to the study of the patristic period, so bring your questions into the classroom for “The First Christian Centuries” (July 28–Aug 1). You can also catch his Evening Public Lecture on July 28 at 7:30 pm: Migration and Refugees (and the Re-humanizing Role of the Church).Note: At 49:50, Dr. Kalantzis references Project 1611, but he intended to say Project 1619 and the 1776 Commission when reflecting on competing historical narratives in the United States.George's BioDr. George Kalantzis is Professor of Theology and Director of The Wheaton Center for Early Christian Studies at Wheaton College.

We examine this passage and the other three key Christological passages: John 1:1-4 &14, Heb 1:1-4, and Col 1:15-20.

Why do self-defense classes exist? Because we live in a world where danger is real and people need to be prepared.In today's episode, we continue our sermon series from the archives, Elect Exiles, from 1 Peter. In this message, Paul unpacks what he calls “defensive, Christological thinking”—a mindset rooted in Christ that equips us to face suffering, resist temptation, and live in light of coming judgment and eternity.To hear more sermons from Paul, visit PaulTripp.com/Sermons.

Andrew Wilson and Alastair Roberts explore the Book of Daniel, moving from familiar stories to complex apocalyptic visions. They discuss interpretive keys including Babel connections, chiastic structure, and Christological fulfillment, helping you understand this unique prophetic book's unity and contemporary relevance. Chapters [00:00 - 03:00] Introduction & topic pivot to Daniel [03:00 - 07:00] How understanding of Daniel evolved over time [07:00 - 12:00] Key #1: Babel connection and empire themes [12:00 - 16:00] Key #2: Chiastic structure of chapters 2-7 [16:00 - 20:00] Key #3: Joseph parallels and typology [20:00 - 28:00] Four empires framework across chapters [28:00 - 34:00] Symbolic interpretation and multiple fulfillments [34:00 - 40:00] Three perspectives on empire; Christological reading [40:00 - 45:00] Daniel 11 and the Herod theory [45:00 - 46:00] Connections to Revelation; conclusion

The sermon emphasizes the importance of unplanned, yet divinely orchestrated moments in the Christian life, drawing from the account of Peter and John's encounter with a lame man at the temple gate. It highlights the ongoing nature of a believer's testimony – a life characterized by "walking and praising" God – which is not merely a past conversion but a continuous, visible expression of faith. The message underscores the significance of intentional worship, recognizing that personal communion and Christological confidence fuel a compelling witness to the world, and encourages a posture of openness to God's use, trusting that He can employ even the seemingly insignificant to advance His purposes.

In this episode of Footnotes, Greg unpacks two sermons—“He Has the Whole World in His Hands” and “He Is the Head of the Church” Colossians 1:15-20 form what's known as the Christological hymn, a rich theological declaration of Christ's supremacy over all creation and the church. Greg explores how Paul uses the concept of the “firstborn” to link Jesus' role as both Creator and Redeemer, the one who holds all things together and leads the redeemed family of God. Drawing from Jewish cultural context and Old Testament prophecy, especially Psalm 89, Greg shows how Jesus fulfills the long-anticipated role of the exalted Son, securing our adoption and salvation. In all things—creation, resurrection, and the church—Christ is preeminent.Listen to the sermonWatch this episode on Youtube

Your Years Will Have No EndJune 22, 2025 • Greg Pinkner • Colossians 1:19–20This Sunday, Greg continues our summer series on Colossians. Colossians 1:19–20, the final section of the Christological hymn, emphasizes that Jesus is not merely a spiritual being but fully God, in whom all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell. Paul writes this to confront false teachings in Colossae that diminished Christ's divinity and authority over all creation and spiritual powers. Reconciliation through Christ is entirely God's work—bringing broken humanity and creation back to Himself, not through mutual compromise, but through the blood of the cross. This peace Jesus offers is not the absence of trouble but the restoration of what was lost in the fall, the resolution of the deep dissonance we feel between what is and what ought to be. Jesus stepped into our suffering, endured the wrath we deserved, and now offers us peace, not as a concept, but as a Person who holds us steady beneath all the chaos.WEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

Have you ever felt intimidated by theological conversations? Today, we talked to Dr. Amy Brown Hughes about the role of dialogue in generating theology in the early church. Famous theologians like Methodius, Gregory of Nyssa and Augustine published conversations with others, including prominent women in their lives, such as Thecla, Macrina and Monica. Amy argues that theology was not an elite genre or closed discussion then – nor should it be so today! She thoughtfully engages with many issues surrounding our engagement with God and invites us to enter into theology as a hospitable conversation. We'd encourage you to listen and discover aspects of the patristic period that may surprise and challenge your preconceptions – and then come join the dialogue in the classroom from July 14-18 at Regent.BioDr. Amy Brown Hughes is an Associate Professor of Theology at Gordon College in Wenham, Massachusetts. She earned her Ph.D. in historical theology with an emphasis in early Christianity from Wheaton College in 2013. Dr. Hughes specializes in early Christianity, focusing on Trinitarian and Christological thought, theological anthropology, and the role of women in early Christian history. She co-authored the book Christian Women in the Patristic World with Lynn H. Cohick. We're excited that Amy will be joining us at Regent from July 14-18 to teach a class on Theology as Dialogue in Early Christianity. Summer Listener SurveyPlease fill out our Listener Survey before the end of July for the opportunity to win a $100 Regent College Bookstore Gift Card.Regent College Podcast Thanks for listening.

As between the Septuagint (LXX) and the rabbinic text (MT), there are significant differences in many verses that deal with Christology. The MT is not always ‘less Christological', for that would have been a poor-quality trap, but the proper hermeneutic for determining the text of Scripture is not ‘more Christology'; rather, the right hermeneutic is quite simply: What is Scripture and what does it say? Christ, the Apostles, and the early Church all unanimously held that the Septuagint is, indeed, the very Word of God. In this fourth episode in the (now) nine-episode LXX series, we examine Christological differences between the LXX and the MT. This is the first of three episodes dealing specifically with the Old Testament differences between the LXX and the MT. This is, of course, not our closing argument, for we will be making that in the two episodes that deal with the New Testament and how it treats the Old Testament.

Born: 306 AD, Nisibis, Turkey Died: June 9, 373 AD, Edessa, Turkey Full name: Ephrem of Nisibis From Vatican.va, an excerpt from the teachings of Pope Benedict XVI General Audience 2007: The figure of Ephrem is still absolutely timely for the life of the various Christian Churches. We discover him in the first place as a theologian who reflects poetically, on the basis of Holy Scripture, on the mystery of man's redemption brought about by Christ, the Word of God incarnate. His is a theological reflection expressed in images and symbols taken from nature, daily life and the Bible. Ephrem gives his poetry and liturgical hymns a didactic and catechetical character: they are theological hymns yet at the same time suitable for recitation or liturgical song. On the occasion of liturgical feasts, Ephrem made use of these hymns to spread Church doctrine. Time has proven them to be an extremely effective catechetical instrument for the Christian community. Ephrem's reflection on the theme of God the Creator is important: nothing in creation is isolated and the world, next to Sacred Scripture, is a Bible of God. By using his freedom wrongly, man upsets the cosmic order. The role of women was important to Ephrem. The way he spoke of them was always inspired with sensitivity and respect: the dwelling place of Jesus in Mary's womb greatly increased women's dignity. Ephrem held that just as there is no Redemption without Jesus, there is no Incarnation without Mary. The divine and human dimensions of the mystery of our redemption can already be found in Ephrem's texts; poetically and with fundamentally scriptural images, he anticipated the theological background and in some way the very language of the great Christological definitions of the fifth-century Councils. Ephrem, honoured by Christian tradition with the title "Harp of the Holy Spirit", remained a deacon of the Church throughout his life. It was a crucial and emblematic decision: he was a deacon, a servant, in his liturgical ministry, and more radically, in his love for Christ, whose praises he sang in an unparalleled way, and also in his love for his brethren, whom he introduced with rare skill to the knowledge of divine Revelation.

We continue our look at cartography, moving from the past to the present. How did the interpretation of Christology by the Holy Roman Empire become a worldwide religion that is defined by division and denomination?  In this episode, I'm taking the principles that emerged in the very genesis of the story and showing how they played out in the history of Israel and then became the foundation for Christological interpretation.  Further, the interpretation of Christology as a new religion has prevailed for 2 millennia as an assumption. However, there are now numerous questions about the state of Christianity that are troubling. Could it be that the interpretation of Christology is poised to evolve into an integral worldview, leading to a radical shift or even an evolutionary leap? This is what we propose.

Impeccable by William Swan Plumer is a pastoral work written to encourage believers unsettled by rising theological error in post-Civil War America. Plumer defends the biblical truth that Christ, as the incarnate Son of God, was not only sinless but incapable of sinning. This doctrine affirms the absolute sufficiency of Christ's obedience and the unshakable certainty of our salvation. In a time when Christological confusion persists, Plumer's clarity remains deeply relevant for the Church today.

In episode 4 of our series on the Cartography of the Christian religion we discuss the root causes that have led to what we see looking at the current map. To do this requires starting at the beginning or genesis of the Narrative.  The story begins with Adam and progresses to Jesus who is called the last Adam. That sounds like a seamless story that defines a problem from its very start and then, over centuries of time, evolves into an entire paradigm identified as death. And whatever was the cause of death was removed by actions surrounding the role and function of Jesus the Christological individual and modeled by the Christological collective known as the body.  We now discuss questions raised by our interpretation of this evolutionary story. Did Jesus “kind of” defeat death? Was death defeated for a small percentage of the human race? What was the root cause of death to begin with?  And why does the story outline 2 possible identities starting with Adam and Abraham and evolve into a first century conflict between those identities that resulted in the coming of a new world paradigm? Why is universal God identity the outcome of the story? It's all about Christology.  

THIS EPISODE To what extent are we to imitate Jesus? Rob and Vinnie dive into Philippians 2:6–11—the powerful Christ Hymn! While contemplating its profound Christological implications, they explore its missional call for believers to imitate Christ's self-emptying love. They unpack how Jesus' journey from humiliation to exaltation shapes not only our understanding of who He is, but also how we're called to live: embracing humility, service, and sacrifice as the true path to glory.   FOLLOW THE PODCAST Subscribe to be notified of our new episodes (each Monday).  Want to help us expand the Gospel of the Kingdom?

In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Grace Ji-Sun Kim's to discuss Feminist Christology. We explore the importance of retrieving feminine imagery of God and Jesus through the biblical wisdom figure Sophia. She argues that despite Jesus's historical maleness, a feminist Christological approach is essential for contemporary Christianity because it challenges 2000 years of patriarchal interpretations and creates more inclusive understandings of the divine. The conversation traces Sophia's development across Hebrew Scripture, demonstrating how early Christians identified Jesus with this feminine divine figure, particularly in Paul's letters, Matthew, and John. Kim connects Sophia with Asian religious concepts like prajna, suggesting that this wisdom Christology offers liberating possibilities for Korean North American women navigating bicultural identities. She points out that feminist theologians are not inventing new concepts but reclaiming a significant biblical tradition that portrays God's presence in feminine imagery, which was largely eclipsed in later Christian history due to patriarchal influences.

Patrick and Jonah venture into the spiritual territory of the body as they explore the mysteries of marriage through a Christological lens. Beginning with Paul's words to the Ephesians, they uncover how these ancient instructions offer not a rulebook but a transformative imagination for our most intimate relationships.The conversation takes an unexpected turn when they reframe the traditional understanding of marriage roles. Rather than imposing abstract structures, they suggest that Paul is inviting us to "christen" our existing relationships—to infuse them with a consciousness permeated by Christ within the organic realities we already inhabit. This approach honors each person as an individuality first, recognizing the inherent dignity that precedes any gendered considerations.Their most radical insight emerges when discussing physical intimacy. "I actually don't have a right ever to the body of another," Patrick reflects, suggesting that Christ models a complete absence of entitlement even within marriage. Just as Christ stands at the door and knocks but never invades our dignity, they propose that husbands are called to relinquish any sense of rights to their wives' bodies. This represents a profound shift from self-centered longing to Christ-like desire that seeks the wholeness and blessing of the other.Perhaps most moving is their reflection on being understood and accepted despite our shadows. When our partner, who knows our darkest aspects, still chooses to bear us — to accept and even honor us — we experience a profound form of grace. "I feel consecrated through that," Jonah shares, pointing to how this mirrors Christ's unconditional love.This conversation offers a tender, deeply thoughtful and rare approach to marriage that transcends rigid gender roles while honoring the unique challenges of embodiment. It invites listeners to reimagine their relationships through the lens of Christ's patient understanding and complete self-offering, creating space for a love that truly sanctifies.Support the showThe Light in Every Thing is a podcast of The Seminary of The Christian Community in North America.

Four Christological Heresies Q&A w/ Pastor Isaiah & Julius Santiago

Patrick kicks things off with a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about the iconic film Jurassic Park and its connection to the groundbreaking news about dire wolves being brought back to life. He explores the intersection of science and ethics, using iconic movie moments to guide his thoughts. Later, Patrick discusses tradition within the church and the evolution of its practices. As always, he wraps it up with some thought-provoking listener calls. Scientists have brought back dire wolves using ancient DNA, with the first born on October 1, 2024, over 10,000 years after their extinction (01:08) Rita - I was asked to have my feet washed on Holy Thursday. Since I am a woman, can I accept? Was there a specific reason Jesus only washed the feet of the men? (10:00) Lily (7-years-old) - Did Jesus still love Judas after he betrayed Him? Is it okay to wear a Rosary as a necklace? (12:46) Catholics set to exceed Anglicans for first time since Reformation (20:02) Rob - My godson is a non-practicing Catholic and getting married outside the Church. How can I explain that I can't go to his wedding? (30:19) Alex – Do you think it’s a good idea for someone who sexually assaults a woman to be forced to financially support the child and mother?

Jesus asked His disciples an important question in Matthew 16:15: “Who do you say I am?” Ligonier Ministries surveyed Americans in 2022 about how they perceived Jesus. Responses to three statements in particular are worth highlighting. First, 54% of Americans and 80% of American evangelicals strongly agreed with the statement, “There is one true God in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.” This statement summarizes the doctrine of the Trinity. But 40% of all Americans and 48% of evangelicals strongly agreed with the statement, “Jesus is the first and greatest being created by God.” This statement is a Christological heresy known as Arianism, not to mention an implicit rejection of the Trinity. Finally, 31% of all Americans and 29% of evangelicals strongly agreed with the statement, “Jesus was a great teacher, but he was not God.” How 80% of evangelicals can affirm the Trinity but 29% deny Jesus' deity is an unsolvable math problem. But it's a solvable problem for Christian discipleship. Churches need to do a better job of inculcating what the Bible teaches about who Jesus Christ is. Toward that end, I talk with Robert M. Bowman Jr. about a biblical case for Jesus' deity in this episode of the Influence Podcast. I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. Robert M. Bowman Jr. is president of the Institute for Religious Research, which provides “evidence-oriented answers to criticisms of the Bible and alternative views of Jesus Christ advocated by skeptics and members of other religions.” He is author, with J. Ed Komoszewski, of The Incarnate Christ and His Critics, published by Kregel Academic.

We begin our study of the Ecumenical Councils by discussion the major kinds of Christological and Trinitarian heresies, and what problem in the human heart they stem from. Much of today's discussion is based on material from Bishop C. FitzSimmon-Allison's "The Cruelty of Heresy" which can be found here.

Joel - A Christological Redemptive Prophecy

Dr Jon Moreno delivers the 2025 Rice Lecture Series on Preaching Christ in the Old Testament.

Send us a textIn this first episode of a three part series, my favorite cohost Ellen and I survey the development of the papacy over its first seven centuries. I have to confess that along the way I got somewhat off topic talking about the Roman persecution of the Christians. But it is an interesting subject in itself and worth exploring, and as 31 of the first 32 popes are venerated as martyrs--some with more reason than others--it seems relevant to a discussion of the first centuries of the papacy. In this episode Ellen and I also talk about Christological disputes that divided the early Church, the position of the bishop of Rome vis-à-vis other bishops, and the papacy's relationship with the Emperor Constantine and his successors. That's my way of saying that it turned out longer than I expected. But I hope that you'll listen and enjoy it.This episode includes musician Ernst Stolz playing the pilgrims' song,  "O Roma nobilis" on tenor vielle, recorder and gemshorn.

In this podcast of season 9 we will dig deep in the life and influential career of Philoxenus of Mabbug, a prominent Miaphysite bishop, theologian, and writer within the 5th and 6th-century Syriac Christian tradition. The source outlines his theological contributions, particularly his staunch defense of Cyrillian Christology against Chalcedonian and Nestorian views. It highlights his role in the Christological debates of the era, his significant literary output including the Philoxenian New Testament, and his lasting legacy within the Oriental Orthodox churches, where he is revered as a key figure in shaping their doctrine and spirituality. Ultimately, the text paints a portrait of a dedicated and impactful church leader during a period of significant theological division. www.twinsbiblicalacademy.com

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to today's episode of the Daily Radio Bible, where we are on day 67 of our journey through Scripture. Our host, Hunter, guides us through the powerful narratives of Deuteronomy chapters seven through nine and the pivotal events of Mark 15. In this episode, we reflect on God's steadfast love and mercy despite human rebellion, as seen in the Israelites' journey and the sacrificial love of Christ on the cross. Hunter encourages us to see the Bible's invitation to draw closer to Jesus as our advocate and savior. Through prayer, Hunter leads us in seeking God's presence and purpose for our lives. Join us as we explore these profound truths and open our hearts to the wisdom and love of God. Let's walk this journey together, and remember, you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: They were rebellious. They worshiped other gods even after God had rescued them from Egypt. After all that, they would still reject him. Like all people everywhere, we reject God. But God doesn't reject us. I know it sounds like this, like God is wanting to reject them, to do away with them in these passages we've read today. And God knows that's how we often feel, don't we? That God has rejected us, that he despises us, that he wants to judge us. And no doubt, this is what Moses believes to be true about the heart of God. But God's heart is not fully known to Moses yet. He, like we, are seeing things through a glass darkly. But one day, he will see fully. One day, he will fully know the heart of God. The day that he sees Jesus face to face. The day that he sees the Son of God offering himself on behalf of all rebellious humanity. On another mountain on Mount Moriah. On a cross. There in the Christological light of eternity, the true heart of God is being seen by Moses, and the heart he sees far exceeds what Moses could even think or imagine. Moses had to plead over and over again for these people. Over and over again, he falls face down to the ground and pleads time and time again that God would be merciful, and God was merciful. God's mercy was not because these people had somehow merited mercy, but because God had promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that he would find a way to rescue them, to bless them, to make them his own. And his plan was not just for them, but for all people. Mark 15 shows us exactly how God's going to do that by offering himself, by pouring out his self-giving, sacrificial love on the cross, taking punishment on our behalf, ransoming us from sin, death, and the grave. He's doing something about rebel-hearted people there on that cross. He's forgiving them, shedding his blood for them, embracing them. He's rescuing them from their delusion. He has not come to judge the world, but to save the world through him. Someone greater than Moses is our advocate now. Jesus is the greater advocate. Jesus is undoing what Adam did. The vicarious life of Christ was not just for the descendants of Abraham. This was for all humanity. First Corinthians 15 verse 22: For as in Adam all die, so in Christ, all will be made alive. Jesus is a better Moses, and he has come to reveal the Father's heart to the world and to make a way for us to enter in and to occupy, not the land, but life in him. So, let us enter in by faith. God's good heart has been revealed, and you are his. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, and my daughters, and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

Tertullian, a significant figure in early Western Christianity, is examined for his pivotal role in shaping theological language and defending Christian doctrines. His life, from his Roman upbringing and conversion to Christianity, is explored, highlighting his contributions to Trinitarian and Christological thought. The text also investigates his polemical writings against heresy and his unique perspectives on sacraments and ecclesiology. His later embrace of Montanism, which led to conflict with the mainstream church, is scrutinized. Ultimately, the text assesses Tertullian's complex and enduring legacy, recognizing his lasting influence on Christian thought despite his controversial views and schismatic tendencies. for more in depth video teachings check our online courses: www.twinsbiblicalacademy.com

In this episode of the Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse and Tony delve into Colossians 1:15–20, one of the most profound passages in the New Testament that highlights the supremacy and preeminence of Christ. They explore how this passage serves as a theological anchor, emphasizing Christ's role as Creator, Sustainer, and Reconciler of all things. By unpacking the rich doctrinal truths within this section of Scripture, the hosts show how Paul's words both exalt Christ and address the sufficiency of His work for salvation and reconciliation. The conversation begins by connecting the passage to Paul's broader purpose in Colossians—countering false teachings that diminish Christ's sufficiency. Jesse and Tony emphasize how this "Christological anthem" asserts Christ's universal relevance, not only as the Creator of the cosmos but also as the head of the Church and the source of reconciliation for all creation. They address the layered structure of the passage, reflecting on its poetic rhythm and theological depth, which together form a vivid picture of Christ's unparalleled authority and role in redemption. From understanding Christ as the image of the invisible God to unpacking what it means for Him to hold all things together, Jesse and Tony draw out practical implications for believers. They challenge listeners to reflect on how Christ's preeminence shapes their worship and daily lives and encourage a deeper engagement with Scripture as the ultimate revelation of God in Christ. Key Points: Christ as the Image of the Invisible God: The episode explores how Christ reveals the nature of God to humanity, making the invisible visible. He is the fullness of God in bodily form, perfectly representing the Father. Christ as Creator and Sustainer: Jesse and Tony highlight that all things—visible and invisible, earthly and heavenly—were created through Christ, for Christ, and are held together by Him. His sustaining power underlines His universal authority. Christ as Reconciler: The discussion emphasizes that through the blood of His cross, Christ reconciles all things to Himself, securing peace and restoring creation. This reconciliation highlights His sufficiency for salvation and the futility of seeking anything outside of Him. The Practical Implications of Christ's Supremacy: The hosts reflect on how Christ's preeminence demands our worship, shapes our understanding of salvation, and calls us to live in alignment with His lordship. Questions for Reflection: What does it mean for Christ to be the image of the invisible God, and how does this deepen your understanding of Him? How does recognizing Christ as Creator and Sustainer impact the way you view the world and your place in it? In what ways does the reconciliation achieved through Christ challenge or encourage you in your faith journey? How can the truth of Christ's preeminence shape your worship and daily life?

Can you lose your salvation? Hebrews chapter 6 poses a long debated question in Christianity. When wrestling with questions like these it is important to view them with a Christological hermeneutic. What does Jesus teach on this idea. His parables offer us an effective lens through which to view this question. What we discover is that the problem is that many people taste God's power, but still run away from God's presence. So, when we experience God's power our response must be to follow into a loving relationship with God in obedience.

20 But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.[a] 21 I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also. 24 Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you too will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that he made to us[b]—eternal life.

On January 6 the church has celebrated Epiphany, which brings the Christmas season to a close. Epiphany has been called "Christmas for the Gentiles" since the theme of Epiphany is about the Gospel (and salvation) being intended for all people. We see this in the account of the visit of the Wise Men, which is usually the Gospel reading for the festival of Epiphany. This week we study the Epiphany hymn "Arise and Shine in Splendor" (Hymn 126 in The Lutheran Hymnal), written by Martin Opitz in the seventeenth century. Martin was born and educated in Germany and was a professor of philosophy and literature. This is the only hymn in our hymnal that was written by him.   You might notice something strange about this hymn. Although this is an Epiphany hymn which is about the revelation of God's glory in the person of Jesus, the name "Jesus" is not mentioned once in this hymn. Nor will you find the term Christ, Savior or any other familiar description for Jesus. The reason for this is that the hymn is based on Isaiah 60:1-6 which states: "Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising." This hymn is written from the perspective of an Old Testament believer. The Old Testament believers would not have known the name "Jesus." This hymn is about the general work of the LORD (the Triune God) to shine the LIGHT of salvation in a world that was dying in DARKNESS. The language of this hymn is colorful and brings out the Biblical contrast between light and darkness and God's love of all people and desire that ALL people come to faith and are saved from sin and death.  This hymn is not as Christological as many of our other hymns, but uses descriptive language to describe how God has given us all a natural knowledge that He exists, so that we might seek and find the true God in His revealed Word. It also reminds us of the joy that is ours when we come to know Jesus as our Savior. People of all "nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues" (Revelation 7:10) will be brought to faith and share in the Savior's joys in heaven. Thanks be to God! Join us as we study this hymn about God's desire to save all people, Jew and Gentile alike, and the joy that is ours when we are brought into His Light of salvation!

St. Nicholas: A Legacy of Faith and Generosity St. Nicholas, the revered Bishop of Myra in Asia Minor, . . . . . . played a significant role in the First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. This pivotal council resolved the Christological question of the divine nature of Jesus Christ and His relationship to God the Father. It affirmed that Jesus is both fully God and fully human—distinct yet inseparable. St. Nicholas is celebrated not only for his theological contributions but also for the many legends surrounding his generosity and gift-giving. His life and teachings remind us of the deep generosity that stems from faith in Jesus Christ. Hear more within the Homily! St. Nicholas' Lessons As we prepare for Christmas, we are called to a dual transformation: one that rearranges our homes to welcome the Holy Family and the Nativity scene, and, more profoundly, one that reorients our inner lives. This season invites us to ask the Lord for what we truly need. Once we receive His blessings, we are sent forth to proclaim the good news: that God dwells among us, that He is Emmanuel—God with us.

In this sermon by Chris Romig, the dual meaning of Advent is explored, focusing on both the first and second comings of Jesus. Chris delves into Revelation 1:7-8, emphasizing the foundational importance of this chapter. Verse 7, which describes Jesus' return with the clouds, is highlighted to signify that every eye will witness His second coming. Chris stresses the term "behold," calling for attention to Jesus' climactic return and references both the Old and New Testament where clouds symbolize God's presence. He likens this to General MacArthur's WWII return to provide a relatable historical context. Advent, as Chris explains, is a time not just for reflecting on Jesus' birth but also for anticipating His return. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing both Jesus' first coming as a suffering servant and His second coming as a triumphant king. Chris recounts meeting two elderly church members, including a WWII veteran, to draw parallels to Jesus' return. He discusses the groups mentioned in Revelation 1:7 – those who pierced Jesus and the tribes of the earth – relating them to various modern-day audiences who have rejected God. He also underscores the significance of Christians praying for Israel, highlighting God's enduring covenants with them. The sermon touches on high Christological themes in Revelation, affirming Jesus' dual nature as fully God and eternally existent, embodied in the Alpha and Omega statement.
