October 28, 2025Today's Reading: John 15:(12-16) 17-21Daily Lectionary: Deuteronomy 30:1-20; Matthew 19:1-15“I chose you out of the world.” (John 15:19)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. As we remember the Apostles of our Lord throughout the year, we might feel sorry for a few of them. Poor Simon “the Zealot” and Jude (a.k.a. Judas, or Thaddeus). They are some of the more obscure of Jesus' disciples. They definitely don't get the attention of Peter, James, and John. They don't even get the word count for Saint Andrew or Saint Nathanael Bartholomew. We don't know a single word that Simon actually spoke, and only one question from St. Jude is recorded. We practically know nothing except their names. In the Gospels, Jude is almost always mentioned by the name Judas, but every instance of that includes “NOT ISCARIOT.” Imagine your greatest claim to fame being that you were NOT the guy with the same name who betrayed Jesus. And then poor Simon, he might as well always have the moniker “NOT PETER.”Yet there is one thing certain, that we can celebrate; Jesus chose them to be His apostles. They were not picked because they were the most quoteworthy, eloquent speakers. They were not selected because they had the right experience, or talents, or pedigree. Simon was not chosen because of his zealot politics, nor Jude for being “not Iscariot.” Saints Simon and Jude were chosen, by the grace of God, in His mercy, to be the simple, often-forgotten human hands, feet, and voices of Christ.That love of Christ encouraged them as they carried His Gospel as His disciples, missionaries, pastors, and apostles. They preached the Word of the Lord and baptized. They forgave sins and fed the Church Christ's Eucharist. And so we end up with two contrasts: the love of Jesus and the hatred of the world.Saints Simon (not Peter) and Jude (not Iscariot) were prepared by Jesus for the hatred of the world. The world hated Him first, and would hate them. Eventually, they suffered death at the hands of those who hated them and Jesus. These faithful Apostles are said to have been martyred at the same time, Simon (not Peter) sawn in half, while many say that Jude (not Iscariot) was beaten to death with a club.Even through the violent end to their time on earth, Jesus's love sustained them through the world's hatred. Our dear Lord knows these saints infinitely more than just their names: Simon, “Not Peter,” and Jude, “Not Iscariot.” He preserved them in the one, true faith at their martyrdom and welcomed them into His presence, where they now await the resurrection with the Risen Savior who chose them and loves them completely.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Praise, Lord, for Your apostles, Saint Simon and Saint Jude. One love, one hope impelled them To tread the way renewed. May we with zeal as earnest The faith of Christ maintain, Be bound in love together, And life eternal gain. (LSB 518:28)Rev. Richard Heinz, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church, Lowell, IN.Audio Reflections Speaker: Pastor Harrison Goodman is the Executive Director of Mission and Theology for Higher Things.Step back in time to the late Reformation and learn about a divisive yet inspirational figure: Matthias Flacius Illyricus. His contributions to Lutheranism still echo in our teachings today, from the Magdeburg Confession to parts of the Lutheran Confessions. Learning about Flacius's life will help you understand more intricacies of the Reformation than ever before.

Lords' Day 21 Q&A 54 1. His precious sheep 2. Gathered into one flock 3, Under one shepherd's care

(Nm.20:1-13;   Ps.95:1-2,6-9;   Mt.16:13-23)   "'You are the Messiah,' Simon Peter answered, 'the Son of the Living God!'"   With this response, because of this faith come from the "heavenly Father," Jesus declares to Peter, "You are 'Rock', and on this rock I will build my Church."  He entrusts to him the keys of the kingdom of heaven, with power to bind and loose.  As from the rock Moses struck, "water gushed out in abundance for the community… to drink," so through Peter and the Church Christ has founded we are nourished by the sacraments and true teaching.  So the Son of the Living God is with us. "Let us acclaim the Rock of our Salvation…  Come, let us bow down in worship; let us kneel before the Lord who made us.  For He is our God, and we are the people He shepherds, the flock He guides."  By the hand of Peter the Lord guides the Church born of His blood.  Indeed, as Moses led the Israelites through the desert, so Peter leads us now to the gates of heaven.  Let us declare our faith with him; let us echo his words to the Lord, giving Him due praise and "joyfully sing[ing] psalms to Him."  He is our God, He is our Savior, and in this Rock we take refuge.  But let us remember, too, not to judge "by man's standards but by God's."  His ways are not our ways, as both great leaders had to learn.  It seems to our human minds unfair that Moses should be deemed unfit to lead the Israelites to the Promised Land; it is they, after all, who continually tempted him with their grumbling, plotting even to take his life.  And why is the Lord so harsh toward Peter, even calling him "Satan"?  He is only concerned for Jesus' life, is he not?  The Lord does not judge as we judge.  He wishes to teach Moses to deepen his love and concern for the people, that anger is never justified in the care of those in one's charge – the Lord does not act in the rashness of anger and anxiety, and neither should we.  And to Peter He must show the necessity of the sacrifice of this life, that we must be "put to death" to be "raised up on the third day" – it is the laying down of this life which brings glory. Really, in both cases the Lord is calling His leaders to lay down their lives for the people, to do as He does and take the people's sins upon themselves.  And this is, of course, the call of us all – to be like Him, to join with our Savior, the Son of the Living God, in His sacrifice.  What is more against the standards of man than the cross of Christ, as Paul has told us elsewhere, "a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles" (1Cor.1:23) – and yet the source of our salvation.  For to come to the Living God we proclaim as our own, this world and its passions must be left behind.  The Father dwells in highest heaven and His ways must become our own.  Take refuge now in the Rock of Christ and in His Church; this shall lead you to His presence. ******* O LORD, your ways are so far above our own,  and how shall we attain to them, except by faith and the grace that comes to us  through your holy Church? YHWH, how could we even begin to put you to the test?  How could we be so foolish as to ask you any question, as to doubt your goodness toward us, your presence among us?  What of this world should lead us to such blindness to your love?  Should we not be ready even to die for you? It is you who have the power and grace to put us to the test, and so your Son asks, "Who do you say that I AM?"  Do we really believe He is the Messiah?  Do we really believe you have sent Him to us to die for our sins that we might be raised up with Him?  Or do we indeed doubt the greatness of your love?  O LORD, help us to judge as you judge, to see as you see, and so to know your glory. It is not in this desert we shall find our home; it is not the food of this world that is our fare.  It is to Heaven we must come, and in your Church we shall find a way there.  Help us, O LORD, to show forth your sanctity, to join in the sacrifice of your Son and worship Him alone.

GS-SPPE 08-03-2025AM - Series: Guest Speaker - Title: The Church, Christ, and Scripture - Scripture: Matthew 16:13-18

The sermon explores the profound connection between Christ's intercessory prayer, the unity of believers, and the testimony of the gospel to the world. Drawing from John 17 and Ephesians, it highlights that Christ's prayer for conversion and unity, rooted in his atoning work, results in a spiritual union of believers from every nation, reflecting God's love and ultimately making known the manifold wisdom of God. The message emphasizes that this unity, founded on apostolic truth and expressed through public worship, serves as a powerful demonstration of God's grace and a compelling invitation for the world to believe in the saving work of Jesus Christ, ultimately pointing towards a future reality of complete reconciliation and glory.

With clarity and conviction, Mother Miriam delivers a bold and tender call to return to the one Church Christ founded, explaining why the Catholic Church alone holds the fullness of truth, sacramental grace, and the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. Speaking to Protestants, fallen-away Catholics, and those tempted by “church-hopping,” Mother warns against choosing comfort over obedience, and urges trust in God's authority, not personal preference. This is a heartfelt invitation to come home, embrace truth, and walk the path that leads to eternal life.U.S. residents!

The Church Christ Built Bought and Paid For by Kendall Fox Matthew 16:17-1917 And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.”

In this kickoff episode of The Crossheirs, I share the heart behind my journey—from questioning religion to embracing the richness of Catholic tradition. This isn't a story of abandoning the Bible or walking away from faith. It's a story of adding to what I already believed, not replacing it. I explore why “sola scriptura” wasn't enough, how the early Church kept drawing me in, and why tradition doesn't compete with Scripture—it completes it. You'll hear how I wrestled with misconceptions, examined history, and found that the Church Christ established has been building, brick by brick, ever since. If you've ever felt like something was missing in your faith, or wondered whether going “deeper” means going “backwards,” this episode is for you.

Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/editorialtpv El día de hoy hablaremos sobre La Autoridad de Cristo Sobre las Naciones en la teología política de Juan Calvino (1509-1564), de acuerdo al capítulo seis titulado "Christ's Political Government: Early Formulations" del libro "Calvin's Political Theology and the Public Engagement of the Church Christ's Two Kingdoms" por Matthew J. Tuininga. Ver aquí: https://www.cambridge.org/gb/universitypress/subjects/law/jurisprudence/calvins-political-theology-and-public-engagement-church-christs-two-kingdoms?format=HB . Páginas: 228-254. El podcast analiza la evolución de la teología política de Juan Calvino, siguiendo su desarrollo desde su temprano y relativamente secular énfasis en el papel del gobierno en el mantenimiento del orden y la justicia, como se ve en sus Instituciones de 1536 y en su comentario sobre Romanos de 1540, hasta su visión posterior, más teológicamente impregnada, que defiende la responsabilidad del magistrado de promover y defender la verdadera religión. Este cambio, influenciado por sus interacciones con los anabaptistas y su desarrollo de la teología bíblica, se evidencia en su Tratado contra los anabaptistas de 1544 y sus exhortaciones posteriores a los magistrados civiles. El análisis destaca la aplicación constante de Calvino de la doctrina de los «dos reinos», diferenciando entre los reinos espiritual y político, al tiempo que explora la compleja interacción entre ellos. A lo largo de su obra, Calvino mantiene la importancia tanto de la obediencia a la autoridad legítima como de la resistencia a la tiranía, aunque con diferentes matices para los ciudadanos particulares y los magistrados.

Tuininga. Ver aquí: https://www.cambridge.org/gb/universitypress/subjects/law/jurisprudence/calvins-political-theology-and-public-engagement-church-christs-two-kingdoms?format=HB . Páginas: 182-227. El podcast explora la teología política de Juan Calvino, centrándose en su concepto de la Iglesia como el reino espiritual de Cristo. Calvino distingue este reino espiritual de las estructuras políticas terrenales, argumentando que la autoridad de la Iglesia se deriva únicamente de la Palabra de Dios, rechazando las pretensiones papales de poder magisterial. Identifica los elementos clave del gobierno de la Iglesia (predicación, sacramentos y disciplina) como parte integral del gobierno espiritual de Cristo, al tiempo que reconoce la necesidad de la Iglesia de un orden interno y de una interacción con las autoridades civiles en asuntos no espirituales. Calvino contrasta su punto de vista con el de otros reformadores y el de la Iglesia Católica Romana, destacando el papel crucial de la Palabra y el Espíritu en el ministerio de la Iglesia y rechazando la fusión de los reinos espiritual y temporal. En última instancia, el autor examina cómo la comprensión de Calvino del gobierno espiritual de la Iglesia da forma a su eclesiología y a su crítica del papado.

Send us a textBiblical symbolism unlocks the richness of Scripture in ways that rigid literalism often misses. When we approach texts like Revelation with an understanding of how the Bible uses typology, patterns, and symbolic numbers, we discover profound truths about Christ and His church.The seemingly mysterious 144,000 mentioned in Revelation takes on new meaning when we recognize it not as a literal headcount of specially selected individuals, but as a symbolic representation of the complete Church—Christ's bride presented as a "chaste virgin" (2 Corinthians 11). This interpretation makes perfect sense when we understand how biblical numbers work, with 144,000 representing completeness: 12 tribes × 12 apostles × 1,000 (signifying vastness).Throughout Scripture, we find intentional patterns designed to reveal Christ. The tabernacle's elements—from the brazen altar representing sacrifice to the Holy of Holies representing God's presence—tell the story of redemption. Similarly, Noah's ark wasn't just a historical vessel but a type of Christ himself, with those inside "sealed" by what symbolized the Holy Spirit, protected from judgment.This understanding challenges the dispensational approach popularized in America through works like the Scofield Reference Bible. When we recognize that Revelation is primarily "an unveiling of Jesus Christ" rather than merely a timeline of future events, the book takes on deeper significance. As one participant noted, "You don't understand Revelation without understanding the Old Testament," because the Old Testament is where we first meet Christ in symbolic form.What's at stake isn't just academic theology but how we approach our faith. Understanding these connections helps us see Scripture as a unified whole rather than disconnected parts. And while robust theological discussion matters, we're ultimately saved not by perfect doctrinal precision but by Christ's finished work.How might your understanding of Scripture deepen if you approached it looking for Christ in every passage? Join us as we explore the beautiful symbolism that reveals our Savior throughout the entire Bible.Support the show

Tuininga. Ver aquí: https://www.cambridge.org/gb/universitypress/subjects/law/jurisprudence/calvins-political-theology-and-public-engagement-church-christs-two-kingdoms?format=HB . Páginas: 140-181. El podcast explora la teología de los «dos reinos» de Juan Calvino, distinguiendo entre el reino espiritual de Cristo (centrado en la rectitud espiritual interior y la iglesia) y su reino político (relacionado con el orden exterior y el gobierno civil). Analiza cómo este marco da forma a las opiniones de Calvino sobre la libertad cristiana, las instituciones sociales como la esclavitud y los roles de género, y la relación entre la autoridad civil y espiritual. Tuininga examina el uso que hace Calvino de términos clave y contrasta su enfoque con el de otros pensadores de la Reforma. El podcast también aborda posibles malas interpretaciones de las ideas de Calvino, en particular en lo que respecta a la tensión entre la libertad cristiana y las obligaciones sociales.

El podcast explora la teología política de Juan Calvino, específicamente su doctrina de los «dos reinos». Refuta las afirmaciones de que la teología de Calvino es neoplatónica, argumentando en cambio que su marco es fundamentalmente bíblico y escatológico, arraigado en el «ya» y el «todavía no» del reino de Cristo. El podcast examina los puntos de vista de Calvino sobre la creación, la antropología, el pecado, la ley natural y la restauración del mundo, destacando el papel del Espíritu Santo en la regeneración espiritual. Por último, analiza la naturaleza de la esperanza como virtud que guía a los cristianos a través de la tensión entre los aspectos presentes y futuros del reino.

El podcast explora la influencia de Juan Calvino en el panorama político y eclesiástico de la Ginebra y Francia del siglo 16. Examina las luchas de Calvino para establecer una iglesia autónoma, independiente pero no separada del Estado, detallando sus conflictos con las autoridades ginebrinas y su evolución teológica en la comprensión del gobierno de la iglesia. El texto ilustra además cómo el modelo de Calvino, en particular su doctrina de los «dos reinos», dio forma de manera significativa al desarrollo del protestantismo francés, especialmente a su estructura sinodal y al establecimiento de iglesias independientes que operaban en condiciones de persecución. El autor destaca la interacción entre las opiniones teológicas de Calvino, su participación práctica en los asuntos políticos de Ginebra y el impacto resultante en las iglesias reformadas francesas.

Tuininga. Ver aquí: https://www.cambridge.org/gb/universitypress/subjects/law/jurisprudence/calvins-political-theology-and-public-engagement-church-christs-two-kingdoms?format=HB . Páginas: 23-60. El podcast explora la compleja interacción entre la autoridad espiritual y temporal en los inicios de la Reforma, centrándose en las perspectivas teológicas en evolución de los reformadores clave. La doctrina de «dos reinos» de Lutero, que inicialmente abogaba por una separación clara, más tarde dio cabida a una mayor participación magisterial en asuntos religiosos. El modelo de «corpus Christianum» de Zwinglio enfatizaba la unidad de la iglesia y el estado, otorgando un poder significativo al magistrado civil. Martín Bucero, que en un principio se alineó con Zwinglio, defendió progresivamente una disciplina eclesiástica distinta, lo que influyó en Juan Calvino, quien finalmente articuló una sólida teología de los «dos reinos» que daba prioridad a la autonomía espiritual de la iglesia. El podcast también examinan el desafío anabaptista al control magisterial y el enfoque pactante de Heinrich Bullinger, que integraba los ámbitos temporal y espiritual.

El podcast analiza varias interpretaciones académicas de la obra de Calvino, comparando y contrastando perspectivas sobre la influencia de Calvino en la modernidad, su enfoque de la transformación social y el papel de su experiencia pastoral en la configuración de su teología.

Once again, we examine the Church. The Transfiguration story tells us the shape of the Church (Christ preeminent, with the Law(Moses) and the Prophets(Elijah)), the power of the Church (Christ in Glory), and the weakness of the Church (human mistakes like Peter's happen LOTS!)

On this episode of The Patrick Madrid Show, Patrick explores a topic that many Catholics might not even realize they’re accidentally messing up: how we talk about Catholics and Protestants. If you’ve ever said, “Oh, I’m Catholic, and they’re Christian,” Patrick is here to gently (but firmly) ask you to stop doing that. The Big Idea: Patrick reminds us that Catholics ARE Christians: the OG Christians, to be exact. When Jesus established His Church 2,000 years ago, it wasn’t some vague, do-it-yourself Christianity. Nope, it was the Catholic Church. So, when we use language that separates "Catholic" from "Christian," we’re actually misrepresenting the truth about who we are as followers of Christ. What About Protestants? Yes, Protestants are Christians, but their Christianity is different. It stems from the Protestant Reformation, which started as a protest against the Catholic Church about 500 years ago. Patrick explains how Protestantism branched into countless denominations because of the idea of Sola Scriptura (the belief in “Bible alone”): an idea that’s not biblical or part of historic Christianity. Patrick points out the endless debates among Protestant groups: “Does baptism save you or not?” “Can you lose your salvation or nah?” It’s like a theological Rubik’s Cube with no solution. The result? Protestants follow a fragmented version of Christianity that leans heavily on individual interpretations of the Bible. Patrick notes that some churches basically just pick a “mini-Pope” (a charismatic pastor) to tell them what the Bible means. Catholicism = Historic Christianity Patrick doesn’t hold back: the Catholic Church is the original Christianity. Full stop. When you open the Bible, especially the Book of Acts, you’re seeing the Catholic Church in her beginnings. By the early second century, Saint Ignatius of Antioch was already calling it the Catholic Church. The Eucharist, Apostolic succession, the sacraments, the teachings of Christ: they all come from the Catholic Church. It’s not just a Christian church; it’s THE Church Christ established. Why Words Matter Patrick’s key takeaway is this: how we talk shapes how we think. By casually separating "Catholic" and "Christian," we’re accidentally buying into the false idea that Catholicism is just one denomination among many. I’s not. It’s the Church that Jesus Himself founded. So Stop Saying... “Oh, I’m Catholic, but they’re Christian.” Start Saying... "I’m Catholic: part of the original Christian Church." Patrick isn’t here to bash Protestants; he just wants Catholics to stop selling themselves short. The next time someone asks you about your faith, remember: being Catholic is being Christian, and it’s time we talked like it.

How is the Church Christ's body and our Mother?, Catholic man trying to marry a nondenominational woman, and Psalm 51.

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by former White House speaker writer, New York Times #1 best-selling author, Bible scholar, historian, and Catholic convert Joshua Charles to talk about his simply incredible conversion story. A lifelong Protestant, Joshua was steeped in Scripture from an early age, collecting study Bibles as soon as he could read and it was his love for Scripture that began to find him asking some uncomfortable questions about the Evangelical faith he was practising. Questions about authority, biblical interpretation, what "binding and loosing" meant, how to understand Baptism, and many more questions like this.When Joshua began digging into the Bible professionally, and was tasked with researching the Early Church, he began to find himself asking even more uncomfortable questions and finding a Christianity, at its roots, that looked very different from what he had experienced in his time as an Evangelical. This incredible story told by a prolific writer and wonderful storyteller and it's utterly captivating. What truly happens when someone abandons themselves to searching for the Church Christ founded, at its very beginning? Well Joshua is here to tell you.
