Podcasts about doctrines

What are the core doctrines Christians must never compromise—and why are they under attack today? In this episode of the Bible and Theology Matters podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver interviews Dr. David Geisler, son of the late Dr. Norman Geisler, to discuss the newly expanded edition of Conviction Without Compromise by Dr. Norman Geisler and Ron Rhodes.Together they explore:✔ The 15 essential doctrines that define historic Christian orthodoxy✔ Why Geisler and Rhodes wrote Conviction Without Compromise✔ The alarming theological confusion in today's church ✔ How the International Council on Biblical Inerrancy (ICBI) and the Chicago Statement shaped modern evangelicalism✔ Why biblical inerrancy is the foundation of every major Christian doctrine ✔ How to identify teachings that logically undermine Scripture✔ Dr. Geisler's legacy in apologetics, philosophy, and Christian thought✔ The importance of standing firm with conviction, yet responding with charity✔ Encouragement for pastors and believers pressured to compromise biblical truthDr. David Geisler also shares insights about:• The Unqualified Movie—the documentary on his father's life and influence• His father's journey from being “almost illiterate at 17” to becoming one of the most influential apologists of the past century• Why today's church desperately needs clarity on essentials, non-essentials, and charity in all thingsIf you care about apologetics, Christian doctrine, the authority of Scripture, or the legacy of Dr. Norman Geisler, this conversation will strengthen your convictions and deepen your understanding of biblical truth.

In this episode, we explore one of St. Augustine's most influential theological frameworks: the Four States of Man. From humanity's original harmony in Eden to the tension-filled struggle after the Fall, Augustine explains our different nature in relation to sin. Join us as we break down each state—able to sin, not able not to sin, able not to sin, and not able to sin—and unpack what they reveal about the human condition.Whether you're new to Augustine or revisiting his thought with fresh eyes, this episode offers an accessible, engaging guide to one of the foundational ideas in Christian understanding. ResourcesEpisodes093 - Doctrines of Grace / Calvinism094 - Total Depravity095 - Unconditional Election096 - Limited Atonement097 - Irresistible Grace098 - Perseverance of the Saints100 - Debated Passages in the Doctrines of Grace Conversation101 - Q & A Over the Doctrines of GraceArticles and Books"aw-GUS-tin"The Battle of the Will, Part 1: Pelagius and AugustineAugustine's Four-fold State of HumanityBoston's Fourfold StateAugustine of HippoAugustine's ConversionConversion of St. AugustineWhat Is the Biblical Evidence for Original Sin?The Bondage of the Will by Martin LutherConfessions by St. AugustineConnect With Us providenceomaha.org | Instagram | Facebook Email Us formation@providenceomaha.org

In this lesson, we explore the biblical teaching commonly called Calvinism—more properly, the Doctrines of Grace. Following chapter 6 of Dr. Hicks' book, we will examine the five points (Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, and Perseverance of the Saints) as a faithful summary of how God sovereignly and graciously saves sinners from start to finish, all to the praise of His glorious grace.This series works to provide a positive, biblical case for key beliefs, including the sufficiency of Scripture, salvation by grace alone, justification by faith, covenant theology, Calvinism, the regulative principle of worship, and more—tracing their roots from the early church through the Reformation and Puritan eras.Our weekly Sunday School live stream begins every Lord's Day at 9:30 AM (US Central Time).About Reformed Baptist Church of McKinneyWe are a Christ-centered, Bible-believing church in McKinney, Texas, committed to the glory of God through expository preaching, sound doctrine, and vibrant fellowship.

Welcome to Episode 308 of Lucretius Today. This is a podcast dedicated to the poet Lucretius, who wrote "On The Nature of Things," the most complete presentation of Epicurean philosophy left to us from the ancient world. Each week we walk you through the Epicurean texts, and we discuss how Epicurean philosophy can apply to you today. If you find the Epicurean worldview attractive, we invite you to join us in the study of Epicurus at EpicureanFriends.com, where we discuss this and all of our podcast episodes.           This week we continue covering Cicero's "Tusculan Disputations" from an Epicurean perspective. Today we continue our discussion with the second half of [section 10 of Part 5](https://handbook.epicureanfriends.com/Library/Text-Cicero-TusculanDisputations/#x_3) where Cicero criticizes Metrodorus and Epicurus for allegedly making high-sounding statements by being inconsistent for involving pleasure and pain in them.    Today we will look at the four points that are summarized all-too-briefly in the "Tetrapharmakon," and we will expand on the meaning of each branch by referring to the full text of the first four supporting statements in the Principal Doctrines, the letters of Epicurus, through the Tetrapharmakon, through the most complete stateement of them by Cicero's Epicurean speakershttps://www.epicureanfriends.com/thread/4804-episode-308-tracing-epicurus-key-ideas-from-the-principal-doctrines-to-the-tetra/

In this final episode of our “Doctrines of Grace” series, host Jared Luttjeboer and Dr. J. Mark Beach turn to one of the most tender truths in the Christian life—the perseverance and assurance of the saints. Many believers quietly ask, Can I lose my salvation? or, What if I've fallen too far? With warmth and biblical clarity, Dr. Beach reminds us that perseverance is not about our grip on God, but His steadfast hold on us. Whether you're walking through doubt, wrestling with sin, or simply longing for renewed confidence in Christ's promise, this conversation brings us back to the truth that the God who began a good work in you will surely bring it to completion.

The post Lesson 6: The Trinity, Overview appeared first on Calvary Community Church.

The doctrine of God's covenant as the foundational framework for understanding Scripture, emphasizing that salvation is entirely the result of God's sovereign, voluntary condescension—initiated not by human effort but by divine grace. It distinguishes between the covenant of works, implied but not named in the confession, and the covenant of grace, which is the sole means of salvation for fallen humanity, revealed progressively from Eden through the Old Testament covenants and fully realized in Christ. The covenant of grace is grounded in the eternal covenant of redemption between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and its substance lies in God's free offer of life through faith in Christ, secured by the Holy Spirit's work in the elect. The sermon underscores the exclusivity and certainty of this covenant, affirming that no other covenant or human effort can bring salvation, and concludes with a call to trust in God's unbreakable promise, finding assurance and comfort in His everlasting, ordered, and secure covenant of grace.

The post Get Ready for Judgement Day on Earth appeared first on Calvary Community Church.

This lecture presents a foundational exploration of Reformed Baptist doctrine by tracing the historical roots of the Protestant Reformation, emphasizing the recovery of key theological principles such as justification by faith alone, Scripture alone, grace alone, Christ alone, and the glory of God alone. It contrasts the Reformation's biblical understanding of human depravity, divine sovereignty, and the necessity of God's grace in salvation, contrasted against the Roman Catholic Church's emphasis on human cooperation, free will, and the authority of tradition. The sermon underscores the centrality of Scripture as the ultimate authority, the necessity of liberty of conscience, and the regulative principle of worship, arguing that true worship must be ordered by God's Word rather than human tradition or preference. It also highlights the enduring significance of covenantal theology, the moral law, and the perseverance of the saints, positioning these doctrines as essential to the Reformed Baptist identity and spiritual heritage.
