All deity-of-Christ claims not only dishonor the Father, butthey also dishonor the Son, the Christ, the man Jesus of Nazareth, theJew who was born in Bethlehem some 2000 years ago. In fact, all deity-of-Christ claims in theend deny that the human person Jesus of Nazareth ever existed.

Listen to Pastor Jordan as he teaches from John 10:22-42.
This study argues for the deity of Christ by examining biblical evidence that Jesus receives worship and prayer, which are due to God alone. It contrasts this with Roman Catholic practices regarding Mary, asserting that praying to humans or attributing divine mediation to them lacks scriptural support. Jeff utilizes passages from Acts, Corinthians, and Hebrews to demonstrate that the New Testament believers prayed directly to Jesus as Lord. Additionally, the text explores the eternal nature of God, emphasizing His self-existence and role as Creator in both Old and New Testaments. Ultimately, the message affirms that Christ is fully God, co-equal with the Father and Spirit, deserving of equal honor and devotion.

Who is Jesus, really? In week two of our verse-by-verse Bible study on the book of Hebrews, we unpack one of the boldest declarations of the deity of Christ found anywhere in Scripture.Hebrews chapter 1 draws a clear line between how God spoke through prophets in the Old Testament and how He now speaks through His Son. Jesus isn't a created being or a lesser angel — He's described as the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His nature. In verse 8, God the Father calls the Son "God" Himself.We also dig into the role of angels, why the Word of God is complete, and why voices claiming "new revelation" today lead people astray. Whatever you're facing, this episode is a reminder that God's sovereignty is enough — and you're never facing it alone.

This study establishes the deity of Jesus Christ by affirming His full humanity and examining biblical evidence that He is worthy of divine worship. Jeff addreses historical heresies like Docetism and modern objections from groups such as Jehovah's Witnesses, arguing that Jesus performed actions reserved for God alone, including forgiving sins and receiving worship. Key passages from John 5, Matthew 14, Hebrews 1, and Revelation 5 demonstrate that Jesus shares the honor, authority, and creative power of the Father. The study concludes by addressing the mystery of the Trinity and the hypostatic union, asserting that Jesus is fully God and fully man without contradiction.

Can you define and defend the doctrine of the Trinity without slipping into heresy? Pastor Jim Osman puts that challenge to the congregation in this exposition of John 1:1 and selected Scriptures.Osman lays out a working definition of the Trinity, that within the one being of God there exist eternally three co-equal and co-eternal persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, then breaks that definition into three pillars. There is only one God. There are three divine persons. Those persons are co-equal and co-eternal. Deny any one of the three, Osman shows, and you land in a specific heresy, polytheism, modalism, or subordinationism.Working carefully through John 1:1 and 2, Osman traces the Greek behind John's language to show that the Word both existed eternally with God and was Himself fully God, distinct in person yet one in essence. He warns against every popular analogy for the Trinity, the egg, the water, the three roles of a single man, showing why each one actually illustrates a heresy rather than the truth.This sermon gives listeners the vocabulary and the biblical grounding to speak accurately about who God is, and sets up next week's look at what the Trinity means for worship, prayer, and assurance. ★ Support this podcast ★

Hebrews began with the author reminding them that the living God has spoken fully and finally in his Son. The God who speaks has made himself known in his Son, and in vv. 3-4 we learn he is the Son who sits. In this sermon, pastor Matt helps us see that God's Son sits enthroned because of who he is and what he has done. Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who became a man in order to cleanse us from sin, and who now reigns in victory as the exalted Son of God.

In this episode with all five pastors we gather around the table for a wide-ranging, honest, and often hilarious conversation that moves from Super Bowl reactions and Winter Olympics highlights to the far more important question: Who is Jesus, really?Along the way, the guys chase a few classic rabbit trails—awkward mic moments, Seahawk debates, Olympic sports that defy logic, and church event cancellations—but eventually land on a thoughtful and timely discussion about cults, world religions, and the truth claims of biblical Christianity.A significant portion of the conversation centers on Jehovah's Witness beliefs, the reliability of Bible translations, and why the deity of Christ is not a side issue, but the foundation of the Christian faith. The pastors reflect on Sunday's sermon, explore how subtle changes in Scripture can lead to massive theological shifts, and offer practical guidance on how to engage Jehovah's Witnesses (and others) with grace, truth, and thoughtful questions rather than arguments.The episode closes with a pastoral reflection on why the resurrection matters, what it means if Jesus truly is God, and how that reality transforms faith from religion into relationship—and authority into hope.As always, expect laughter, honesty, and gospel-centered conversation as we chase the rabbit together.New episodes drop every Tuesday.Recorded at First Baptist Church of the Islands, Savannah, GA
As we begin our new sermon series through the book of Hebrews, pastor Matt reminds us of a life-changing truth: The living God has spoken fully and finally by his Son. All that we need to know about the one true God, his plan of salvation, and his purpose for creation is found supremely in Jesus Christ, for he himself is the Word of God.

In recognition of the upcoming 1,700th anniversary of the Nicene Creed, we are presenting a special episode from our Navigating the Classics series. Dr. John Snyder is joined by attorney and elder Steve Crampton and pastor Jamie Crampton to discuss Athanasius's classic work On the Incarnation. Together, they trace the historical context of the writing, the theological debate that prompted it, and its influence on the Nicene Creed and the broader Christian tradition. They also walk through the content of the work itself, considering Athanasius's central arguments concerning sin, the incarnation, redemption, and the defeat of death. This episode is for listeners who want to understand why On the Incarnation has endured for centuries as one of the most important works in Christian literature. We pray it is a blessing to you this Thanksgiving season. To read the book and C. S.
