Brandon Langley and Phil Newton discuss elder led congregationalism as a model for church polity. They talk about the difference between elder led, elder ruled, and purely congregational models, building communication and trust with the congregation, appointing new elders, and more.  

Part 10 Jehovah's Witnesses have long been a cult that has aggressively opposed the doctrine of hell, as can be seen in their literature and publications. Charles Taze Russell, the founder of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, was himself an ardent opponent of this doctrine, as has been every presiding president over Jehovah's organisation since.  Though beginning within the ranks of conservative orthodoxy, by the time Russell had outgrown his teens, he had left both Presbyterianism and Congregationalism because he could not reconcile the idea of a loving and merciful God sending billions to an eternal hell. To this day, after nearly a century and a half, Russell's disciples continue to hold to his beliefs and teachings.  In this teaching, we examine the beliefs of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society as they relate to the doctrine of hell and contrast this with what the Bible teaches.  Download teaching notes (pdf) https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bethesdashalom/10_The_Doctrine_of_Hell.pdf

In Episode 163 of Theology In Particular, I'm joined by Dr. James Renihan to discuss John Cotton and his book, The Keys Of The Kingdom Of Heaven.

In this message we address what baptism is and who should be baptized as we look at what Scripture teaches and explain why there are different views on baptism today.

The clear answer to the title of this message is that Christ is in charge of a local church. But the question remains regarding where you see Christ's authority in the church today. There are three ways we see Christ's authority in the church today: Christ's authority is contained in his Word, confirmed by his congregation, and conveyed through his shepherds.

In this episode, Jason and Duffey further dicsuss congregationalism in a follow-up conversation to our previous interview with pastor Michael Lawrence. Here, the guys discuss some common objections to congregtionalism and also talk about the church member's "job responsibilities." (Be sure to listen to Ep. 185 before listening to this one for necessary context.)

In this episode, Duffey and Jason interview Dr. Michael Lawrence about "congregationalism." This is an important conversation because Believers' Baptist Church is a congregational church. In this episode, topics discussed are church leadership/government, the congregation's authority, church membership, church discipline, and etc. from a biblical and Baptist perspective.   About our guest: Michael Lawrence (PhD, University of Cambridge; MDiv, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary; BA, Duke University) is lead pastor of Hinson Baptist Church in Portland, Oregon, and is a Council member of The Gospel Coalition. He is the author of several books, including Biblical Theology in the Life of the Church, Conversion: How God Creates a People, Ezekiel: A 12-Week Study (Knowing the Bible), and with Mark Dever, It Is Well: Expositions on Substitutionary Atonement. He and his wife, Adrienne, have five children.

Pastor: Danny D'Acquisto Passage: Ephesians 3:20-21    

Does the NT prescribe a specific type of church government structure? Who wields the keys of the kingdom? Do bishops or elders have authority over the church, or does the congregation have authority? In this episode, we will make our defense for the congregational polity in which the members of the church wield the keys of the kingdom.

In Hebrews 12-28, the author takes up the matter of acceptable worship. In chapter 13, we see how acceptable worship is lived out in the lives of Christians. Acceptable worship is the fruit of lips -13-15- - an offering of praise and thanksgiving, confessing the name of Jesus. True worship also consists of practically loving others -13-1-, showing hospitality -2-, remembering those in prison -3-, honoring marriage -4- and living sacrificially -5-6- in submission to sound spiritual leadership -7, 17-.-In the early church, with all the contributions made by its members, obedience and submission was always expected for its leadership. Congregationalism does not negate the need for sound leaders. Of course, the church is not exhorted to submit to leaders who deviate from the Gospel -13-9-, but they are to remember, honor, obey and submit only to the authority of those faithful leaders in their local church. Obedience is linked to trust. When a church obeys its leaders, it is like saying, -we trust this man to lead us in the gospel without being influenced by strange teaching.--The reason for the church's trust and submission lies in the special responsibility that leaders have, to watch over the spiritual lives of their church. The elder joyfully accepts the responsibility for shepherding the souls of those in his care. The tedious work of shepherding is made joyful in an atmosphere of trust and cooperation. By contrast, leaders groan under the heavy burden of the lack of trust- and this in turn is detrimental to the health of the congregation. Submitting to the sound oversight of leaders who are faithful to the Gospel of grace is synonymous with submitting to God Himself.

Does Scripture permit a woman to teach a Sunday School class? What about lead a small group? While Scripture clearly teaches complementary roles for men and women, applying this teaching to various ministry settings requires careful thought. So, what does a faithful and wise complementarianism look like in practice?

You've surely heard or read something about the coming AI revolution spurred on by OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google. I thought it'd be interesting to incorporate AI into an experimental podcast episode. I asked Microsoft's Bing AI to write a biography of Isaac Watts that's suitable for a podcast and then asked it a follow-up question about Congregationalism. What you're about to hear is the result. And just for fun it's read by Microsoft's Immersive Reader.
