In this episode of the Pocket Theology podcast, the team dives deep into the heart of biblical interpretation, the value of education, and the beautiful messiness of the early church.Pulling from the opening themes of the Philippians series, "Whatever is Beautiful," the conversation moves from the intimidation of the pulpit to the "secret" of finding joy in a diverse community. They challenge the modern tendency to seek "special revelations" and instead invite listeners to join the 2,000-year-old conversation of the global Church.In this episode, we discuss:Preaching and Pressure: An honest look at the "love-hate relationship" with the pulpit and the responsibility of having "something to say" rather than just "having to say something." The "Bubble" of Isolation: Why reading only what we agree with limits our growth and the importance of expanding our "awareness" of the broader Christian narrative. Biblical vs. Systematic Theology: Using the "Heuristic of the Puzzle," we explore how a narrative framework (Promise, Fulfillment, Consummation) helps make sense of the story of God without getting pigeonholed into rigid systems. The Fellowship of the Gospel: Redefining "Koinonia" from a social "hang out" to a radical partnership of differing people united around the cross—much like the unlikely fellowship of the Ring. The "Good Work" in Progress: Reclaiming Philippians 1:6—not just as a personal promise of growth, but as a collective guarantee that Jesus will never give up on His Church. Whether you are a seasoned scholar or just "Bible-curious," this episode is an invitation to get low, stay humble, and let the Holy Spirit expand your vision of what it means to be the Church.

Why a Biblical Worldview Matters for Every ChristianShow: Anchored in the Word — a segment of the Servants of Grace PodcastHost: Dave JenkinsSeries: Anchored for a New YearEpisode Theme: Why a Biblical Worldview MattersShow SummaryAs we begin a new year, every Christian needs to think carefully about how they see the world. In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins answers a crucial question: Why is it essential for Christians to have a biblical worldview? A biblical worldview is not optional; it is the lens through which we interpret reality, make decisions, and live faithfully before the Lord in a confused and hostile culture.Listen / WatchListen:Watch:Key ScripturesRomans 12:1–2 — Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.Psalm 119:105 — God's Word as a lamp to our feet and a light to our path.John 17:17 — “Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.”Matthew 28:18–20 — The Great Commission and our mission in the world.Episode HighlightsA biblical worldview anchors our thinking. Every person interprets life through a lens; Scripture must be that lens for the Christian, rooted in the storyline of creation, fall, redemption, and consummation.A biblical worldview helps us navigate culture. In a world saturated with secularism, relativism, and humanism, God's Word enables us to discern truth from error and stand firm.A biblical worldview shapes our morality and ethics. Right and wrong are not defined by our feelings, preferences, or cultural trends, but by God's unchanging character and revealed Word.A biblical worldview fuels our mission and witness. Seeing the world as God sees it moves us to love our neighbors, speak the truth in love, and make disciples of all nations.Full Episode NotesDave explains that every one of us lives with a worldview, whether we realize it or not. Our worldviewis the interpretive grid through which we understand God, ourselves, other people, and the world around us.For the Christian, a biblical worldview means that Scripture is our final authority for faith and life.It is grounded in the grand story of the Bible: creation, fall, redemption, and consummation.Creation tells us that God made the world, and that He made humanity in His image with dignity, purpose,and responsibility. The fall explains why our world is marked by sin, brokenness, confusion, and rebellionagainst God. Redemption shows us the center of history in the person and work of Jesus Christ, who lived, died, and rose again to save sinners. Consummation reminds us that Christ will return, judge the living and the dead, and make all things new.Because this story is true, it must shape how Christians think about everything: personal life, home life,work life, public life, morality, sexuality, justice, relationships, politics, and more. Dave shows how passages likeRomans 12:2 call believers not to be conformed to this world but to be transformed by the renewal of their minds, so that they may discern what is good, acceptable, and perfect according to God's will.A biblical worldview also equips us to navigate a culture that is increasingly hostile to God's design. Competing worldviews secularism, relativism, humanism, and others tell us that truth is flexible, identity is self-created, and morality is negotiable. Scripture, by contrast, gives an unchanging standard. God defines what it means to be human, what marriage is, what sexuality is for, and what holiness looks like.Dave emphasizes that Christians must be clear and courageous about these truths, especially in areas likemarriage and sexuality, where God's Word is often rejected or redefined. To dismiss or rewrite what the Bible saysabout these matters is ultimately to tamper with God's authority and to reveal a worldview that is no longeranchored in Scripture.Yet a biblical worldview is not merely about winning arguments; it is about loving God and loving neighbor. When we see the world through the lens of Scripture, we see people as God sees them: image-bearers in need of the gospel. Christ came to seek and to save the lost (Luke 19:10), and He sends His people into the world to make disciples, teaching them to obey all that He has commanded (Matthew 28:18–20).Because of this, our worldview fuels our mission. What we believe about the Bible will shape how we treat our families, our church members, our coworkers, our neighbors, and even those who oppose us. A biblical worldview calls us to clarity about truth and compassion toward people, holding both conviction and kindness together.Dave closes by urging listeners to cultivate a biblical worldview through daily engagement with God's Word. As this new year begins, Christians should commit themselves to reading, studying, meditating on, and obeying the Bible.When we consistently seek the Lord in Scripture and prayer, God renews our minds, shapes our desires, and conforms us more and more to the image of Christ.Takeaways & Reflection QuestionsHow would you currently describe your worldview? In what ways is it shaped by Scripture, and in what ways is it shaped by the culture?Where do you feel most pressured to conform to the world's thinking rather than to God's Word?What steps can you take this year to renew your mind daily in Scripture (Bible reading plan, Scripture memory, family worship, etc.)?How does a biblical worldview change the way you view your neighbors, coworkers, and community as a mission field?Call to ActionIf this episode encouraged you, please consider:Subscribing to the Servants of Grace Podcast Network wherever you listen.Sharing this episode with a friend, pastor, or small group who wants to think more biblically about the Christian life.Visit Anchored in the Word's page at Servants of Grace or at our YouTube.Stay anchored in the Word of God.

11/19 Week 12: Recap / Question & AnswerTeaching by Elijah Dally, Mark Christian, Jim Dalrymple
This message examines the role of covenant - and particularly the new covenant - in the consummation of God's purposes for His creation. Different theological traditions and perspectives view the matter of consummation differently, but the eternal destiny of individual human beings is the focus of many Christians' understanding when it comes to the final consummation. But the Scriptures, and the scriptural covenants themselves, have a different focus and ultimate concern - one that is corporate and cosmic rather than individual and human.
Dr. Camden Bucey speaks at the Reformed Forum Annual Theology Conference, held at Lakeland Church in Gurnee, Illinois on September 27, 2025. Dr. Bucey weaves together the themes of the previous lectures into one coherent narrative centered on Christ. The address establishes that the entire grand narrative of Scripture, from the promise of the serpent-crushing seed in Eden to the apocalyptic visions of Daniel, is converging on the single, brilliant point of Christ's person and work. Dr. Bucey emphasizes that Christ's incarnation, life, death, resurrection, and ascension constitute the central objective act of redemption and bring the era of special revelation to its completion. The focus is on Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God, who is the ultimate fulfillment of all covenant promises and redemptive types, particularly the Passover, and the one who brings history to its appointed, glorious consummation, which is the eternal Sabbath rest of God's kingdom.

Message from Pastor AJ Swanson Matthew 16:13 - 20
In this episode, Camden Bucey speaks with Danny Olinger, General Secretary of the OPC Committee on Christian Education, about his new book Christ and His Church-Bride: Meredith G. Kline's Biblical-Theological Reading of Revelation (Reformed Forum). Olinger traces how Kline's covenantal and redemptive-historical reading of Revelation portrays the church's transformation into the radiant Bride of Christ, moving from imperfection and suffering in the present age to consummate glory in the new creation. The discussion unfolds key themes of recapitulation, the conflict between Babylon and the Bride, and the covenantal drama of creation to consummation. Through rich historical and exegetical reflection, Olinger shows how Kline weaves together Genesis, Daniel, Zechariah, and Revelation to present a unified vision of redemptive history centered on Christ's victory and the Spirit's work in the church. The conversation is both theologically rigorous and pastorally hopeful—reminding listeners that Christ reigns now, the church's pilgrim identity is secure, and the gospel's progress continues unthwarted by the powers of this world.

Dr. O. Palmer Robertson joins Camden Bucey to discuss his newest book, Christ of the Consummation, Volume 2: The Testimony of Acts and Paul. Building on the legacy of Geerhardus Vos, Robertson shows how the testimony of the early church—empowered by the Spirit—proclaimed Christ to Jew and Gentile alike. From Pentecost to Paul's missionary journeys, from household baptisms to soaring prison epistles, this episode traces the redemptive-historical unfolding of God's Word. Robertson explains why biblical theology is the vital “nerve system” connecting exegesis and doctrine, how Paul's letters fall into three key phases, and why every New Testament book points us to the hope of Christ's return. Whether you're a pastor, student, or simply longing to see Christ in all of Scripture, this conversation will encourage you to persevere in faith, proclaim the Gospel with confidence, and live with expectant hope of His coming. 00:07 Introduction 07:02 Describing Biblical Theology 10:37 The Book of Acts 12:25 The Inclusion of the Gentiles 21:02 The Historical Progression of Paul's Letters 26:14 Paul's Eschatology 32:51 Deep Theology and Practical Application 35:47 The Expectation of Christ's Return 41:35 The Original Apostolic Witnesses 52:27 Conclusion

Pastor Ray Bentley says love magnifies our relationship with God. When you are growing in love, not just sentimentality, not just feeling, not just, oh, I feel bad to them. But when you are doing something practical as giving or doing something personal as in visiting, you have more confidence and your whole relationship with God. You experience this deep respect for your father in heaven and not a tormenting fear spread.

1. What Is Heaven Like? 2. We Live in a World Under a Curse. 3. The Lord Jesus Christ Has Conquered that Curse. 4. But we Live in a Time of Suffering. 5. Our Souls Have Been Redeemed, But not Yet our Bodies. 6. How Could the Deaths of Those Little Girls Be Part of God's Plan for Good? 7. Revelation 21-22 Fulfills Isaiah's Prophecies of Heaven on Earth. 8. Heaven and Earth Will Be Purged of Corruption. The sermon explores the promise of a restored world, drawing from Revelation and Isaiah to paint a picture of ultimate consummation and liberation from suffering. Reflecting on personal experiences, including the passing of a father and the loss of a spouse, the message emphasizes the hope of a new heaven and a new earth where pain, decay, and the effects of the curse will be eradicated, and believers will experience a state of perfect health, harmony, and reunion with loved ones. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a steadfast anticipation of Christ's return and a renewed commitment to righteousness in light of the hope for a transformed world free from the burdens of this fallen existence.

Consummation – Hope for our work and rest (Romans 8:18-25, Revelation 21:1-5) - Sean Mullen by Christ City Church Dublin
This week, we share our second-ever Soundings Seminar from back in 2014. Bill Haley (Coracle's Executive Director) and Soren Johnson (a Catholic ministry leader) discuss the full biblical gospel. Too often, we have been taught that “The Gospel” refers exclusively to Jesus' forgiving our sins and enabling us to go to heaven when we die. And while both of those are true and deeply important, Bill and Soren open up the even more beautiful and expansive reality of the coming Kingdom of God.View Our Full Archive of Soundings Seminarsinthecoracle.org | @inthecoracleSupport the show

From Documents concerning the life and character of Emanuel Swedenborg by Tafel, J. F. I. (Johann Friedrich Immanuel), 1796-1863; Smithson, J. H. (John Henry), 1803-1877, ed. and tr; Bush, George, 1796-1859, ed, Vol 1. HIS LETTERS TO DR. OETINGER. Pg 153 Document 25 Concerning the Natural and Spiritual Sense of the Word. That there is an internal or spiritual sense in the Word, in its external or natural sense, as a diamond in its matrix, or as a beautiful infant in its swaddling clothes, is a truth which has heretofore been altogether unknown in the Christian world, and hence also it is altogether unknown what is meant by the Consummation of the Age, the Coming of the Lord, the Last Judgment, and by the New Jerusalem, on which subjects many things are spoken and predicted in the Word of each Testament, both Old and New. Without the unfolding and unswathing of the literal sense of the Word by its spiritual sense, who can know intellectually what is signified by the things which the Lord predicted in Matt, xxiv., and also in the Revelations, and in like manner in Daniel, and in the Prophets, in many passages. Make the experiment yourself, if you are so disposed, by reading those passages of the prophetical Word, which treat sometimes of wild beasts and cattle, sometimes of forests and brakes, sometimes of valleys and mountains, sometimes of bats, of ochim, tziim, satyrs ; try whether you can perceive anything Divine therein, unless you believe it to lie concealed inwardly, inasmuch as it was inspired of God, just as a diamond lies concealed in its matrix, as was said above. That the diamonds, or treasures, which lie concealed within, are those things which the internal sense contains, is fully demonstrated in the doctrine of the New Jerusalem, concerning the Sacred Scripture, 5-26 : and in the same doctrine it is further proved, that the literal sense is the basis, continent, and firmament of its spiritual sense, 27-36 ; also, that the Divine truth in the literal sense of the Word is in its fulness, in" its sanctity, and in its power, 37-49 ; and, likewise, that the doctrine of the church is to be drawn from the literal sense of the Word, and to be confirmed thereby, 50-61 ; and, moreover, that by the literal sense of the Word, through the medium of its spiritual sense, there is effected conjunction with the Lord, and consociation with the angels, 62-69. Exodus 8. 1. And Jehovah said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thy hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt. 2. And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt. 3. And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments, and caused frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt. 4. And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and said, Supplicate ye unto Jehovah that He remove the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to Jehovah. 5. And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Have thou honor over me, till when shall I supplicate for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to cut off the frogs from thee, and from thy houses? Only in the river shall they be left. 6. And he said, Unto the morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word; that thou mayest know that there is none like Jehovah our God. 7. And the frogs shall be removed from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; only in the river shall they be left. 8. And Moses and Aaron went out from before Pharaoh; and Moses cried unto Jehovah upon the word of the frogs which He had laid on Pharaoh. 9. And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields. 10. And they gathered them together in heaps and heaps; and the land stank. 11. And Pharaoh saw that there was breathing, and he made heavy his heart, and heard them not,
As the Bride of Christ, the Church has been eagerly anticipating His return for over 2,000 years. Song of Solomon 3 describes the return of Solomon for his bride which foreshadows the coming of Jesus. He came first as a shepherd, but when he reappears, he is a majestic king. Like Solomon, Jesus came first as a Shepherd. But He will return as a majestic and triumphant King for His bride, the Church. The excitement that Solomon's bride felt at his return is the same excitement the Bride of Christ should feel as we long for Jesus to come again. The three stages of the Hebrew wedding mirror the relationship between Christ and His bride. 1.) Betrothal Just as the bridegroom signed the Ketubah and promised to return, Jesus has promised to come back for His Bride. We are currently in this betrothal stage, called to remain faithful and ready. 2.) Consummation. The bridegroom's unexpected return to carry his bride home is a vivid picture of the rapture, where the Bride of Christ will be reunited with the Bridegroom. Only the Father knows the day or hour. 3.) Celebration. The wedding feast symbolizes the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, where Christ and His bride will rejoice together. We are living in anticipation of the great celebration that will happen when Jesus comes again for His bride. Jesus is coming for his bride very soon! We know it's soon for three reasons: 1) The Jews are back in the Land—prophecy fulfilled in 1917. 2) Israel is reborn as a nation—prophecy fulfilled in 1948. 3) The Jews are back in Jerusalem—prophecy fulfilled in 1967. As the bride of Christ, we need to be ready by working and watching for the return of the Bridegroom! We must keep our lamps burning, living the abundant life—fully awake, alert, and filled with the Spirit. Join Pastor Phil Hopper as he explores the prophetic beauty of Solomon's return for his bride and its connection to the rapture and the Bride of Christ.
This Spring, we are tracing the movements of the Biblical Story, seeking to be formed by God and His Word. From the creative glories of Genesis 1-2 to the final restoration of all things in Revelation 21-22, the Bible tells the story of the faithfulness of God as he works to rescue a world in rebellion to his sovereign love. At each stage of the Story, he is fashioning a people for himself, a people who can receive his love, carry his presence, and be his means of restoring the world to its former glory. All of this culminates in Jesus, of course, who is the True Hero of the Story, and who invites sinners and sufferers to join his world-restoring mission, until he returns to make all things new. This week, we come to the Consummation of All Things, the great End of the Story: The Restoration of All Things: A New Place, a New People, and the Ever-New Presence of God!

The Bible is anything but clear when it comes to God. Within the text, God is not a consistent and defined character, and after thousands of years of debate and interpretation, God is no less a mystery today. In this episode, one of my favorite Biblical scholars, Dr. Rolf Jacobson joins me to discuss the character of God in the first 11 chapters of Genesis and how the stories of Creation and the crisis of sin give a narrative account of the human predicament before a loving God. If you enjoy the conversation, go grab the entire series now and join our upcoming live Q&A sessions where we walk through the entire Biblical story, asking the question of God.

Or perhaps, just revel in the glorious complexity that is the God of the Bible? Join Dr. Rolf Jacobson and Dr. Tripp Fuller for an online class that's sarcastically (or is it?) titled, "The God of the Bible: An Absolutely Clear and Final Guide to Ultimate Mystery." Because if there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that the nature, character, and vision of the God of the Bible are anything but simple! This class will take you on an unforgettable journey through the Biblical narrative, from Creation to Consummation. Our mission? To present the nature, character, and vision of the God of the Bible. Our method? Overcoming the hesitations of (post)modern, critical scholarship to highlight the aesthetic power of the divine as revealed in scripture.

Death will be replaced by life. In the presence of God, there will be no more sin, sorrow, sickness, and separation. For eternity, we will glorify God with people of every tribe, tongue, and nation. In this message on Revelation 21:1–22:5, Pastor David Platt reminds us that we live between two worlds as Christians.
