Isaiah 7:1-141. God wants to FIGHT our battles FOR us2. Sometimes we SEARCH for the saviors we THINK we need3. God SENT us the Savior he KNOWS we need4. How is Jesus a Better Savior? -He is Fully God -He is Fully Man -He is With Us
Jesus Christ, the Messiah: fully God and fully man. But how did he live as a human submitted to the Father, perform miracles by the Holy Spirit, and choose not to exercise divine prerogatives at will? In this episode, we unpack the Chalcedonian Definition of the Hypostatic Union, exploring its historical significance and how it protects against heresy. We explore how this doctrine affects our understanding of Jesus's miracles, the Spirit-Empowered Ministry, and the ongoing debate surrounding kenotic heresy. Learn how Jesus, as both God and Man, performed miracles and lived a life of Spirit-Empowered Ministry.The Chalcedonian definition of hypostatic union states that Jesus Christ is one person in whom two distinct natures—divine and human—are united without confusion, change, division, or separation. Each nature retains its own properties, and both are unified in one "person" or "subsistence" ((hypostasis)), meaning Christ is both fully God and fully man, not a mixture of the two. One person, two natures: Christ is one person (the eternal Son of God), who is both fully divine and fully human.Without confusion or change: The divine and human natures are not merged into a single new nature. The incarnation did not diminish Christ's divinity; it was not a change from what he was.Without division or separation: The two natures are not split into two separate individuals or persons. They are held together in one unique person, the Lord Jesus Christ.Propriety of each nature is preserved: The unique attributes of each nature remain. For example, Christ's divinity is not bloodied, but as a human, he has a body and soul.One subsistence: The two natures "concur" in a single person and subsistence, a concept that safeguarded against heresies that separated the natures or blended them together. Hey Guys, Josh Lewis here. Have you ever wondered if the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit—like prophecy, healing, and tongues—really stopped after the apostles? Cessationists claim they vanished throughout church history, but that's a myth. In Remnant Radio's new ebook, History of Spiritual Gifts: The Myth of Cessationism, I dive into church history to reveal the active use of spiritual gifts by early church fathersSupport the showABOUT THE REMNANT RADIO:
In this week's sermon, Pastor Jason Heron unpacks one of the most profound and essential truths of the Christian faith: the dual nature of Jesus Christ. Drawing from Scripture, he explores how Jesus is both fully God—eternal, divine, and sovereign—and fully man—able to understand our struggles, carry our burdens, and walk in our shoes.Pastor Jason invites us to grasp the beauty and significance of this mystery: that the God of the universe took on flesh not only to save us but to be with us. This message challenges us to deepen our faith, trust in Christ's compassion, and marvel at His majesty.Whether you're exploring Christianity or looking to grow in your walk with Jesus, this sermon will encourage your heart and strengthen your understanding of who He truly is.
For our salvation to become a reality Jesus had to be fully God and fully man. In this sermon, we discover why this doctrine is crucial to our faith.
Is Christ fully God AND fully man? - "Jesus Christ: Fully God, Fully Man: The Chalcedonian Response" by Charles Z. BarwonThis book explains Jesus's two natures in a way relevant to the modern reader. It clearly describes the struggle to understand Jesus's two natures and points out inadequacies in the views of some church fathers who misinterpreted the meaning of Jesus's two natures. This book uses the affirmation of the Council of Chalcedon, AD 451, to explain Jesus's two natures and establish that Jesus is fully God and man. This book takes on a historical and theological stance. Still, it can be appreciated by both theologians and nontheologians because it articulates with clarity and simplicity the significance of Jesus's two natures for the Christian faith.Charles Z. Barwon is originally from Liberia, West Africa. Was converted to Christianity through the ministry of an American Missionary, Caroline Rotz, who ran a youth organization called Youth for Christ in Liberia, West Africa.Charles Z. Barwon is married and has been a seasoned minister of the gospel with over 30 years of faithful service in various leadership roles. He has served as the Senior Pastor of the Monrovia Open Bible Standard Church, District Field Director of the Monrovia District Open Bible Standard Churches, and the National Field Director of the Liberia Open Bible Standard Churches.Charles Z. Barwon is the president of Jarwludo International Training Institute and an astute theologian and thinker. He graduated from Liberia Baptist Theological Seminary (BTh), Cuttington University (MTh), Dallas Theological Seminary (ThM), and Liberty University (MA). He has been a pastor and church leader for over thirty years in the United States and Liberia, West Africa. He has lectured over the years at several seminaries and bible colleges, including being the former department chair of theology at the African Methodist Episcopal University and a lecturer at the Liberia Baptist Theological Seminary in Liberia, West Africa.AMAZONwww.KingPagesPress.comhttp://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/9425kpp1.mp3

Tom Logue - May 11th 2025 What's really driving your life? This week in The King & His Kingdom series, we explore the story of John the Baptist's death in Matthew 14—and what it reveals about fear, compromise, and courage. While Herod is ruled by the fear of people, John remains faithful, even to death. This message calls us to ask: What do we fear most? And where do we go with our pain? Jesus shows us a better way—not just by His teaching, but by His example.

In this episode, host Nate Claiborne and theologian-in-residence Dr. Michael Allen dive into the heart of the Nicene Creed—its second article, which focuses on Jesus Christ. Building on their previous conversation about the importance of creeds as both summaries and guardrails for Christian belief, they explore what the Creed affirms about Christ's identity, nature, and redemptive work. From the theological poetry of “God from God, Light from Light” to the historical grounding in figures like Pontius Pilate and Mary, this central paragraph of the Creed brings into focus both the mystery and majesty of the eternal Son who took on flesh for our salvation.Dr. Allen explains how the Creed combats ancient heresies like Arianism by affirming Jesus' full divinity and eternal existence while also narrating his true humanity through the incarnation, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. The conversation emphasizes how these statements are not merely doctrinal assertions but pastoral and devotional aids for worship, especially relevant during Holy Week. As NewCity continues to recite the Creed weekly, this episode helps listeners reflect more deeply on what each phrase means, why it matters, and how it connects us to the global and historic church.

Pastor Lim Luck Yong preaches from Hebrews 2.
Jesus goes to Jerusalem to celebrate Hanukkah. In this nationalistic setting, the Jews inquire if Jesus is the Messiah. Unfortunately, they cannot see it despite the miracles, the Hanukkah prayer for miracles, and the simplicity of Jesus' teaching "my sheep hear my voice."Matthew 10:22-39Luke 19:41-44www.messagetokings.com

Full question: I send out a weekly email with 1 Bible verse, 1 quote, 1 question each week…. Recently I sent out an email that included Mark 1:35 and I wrote a little commentary that said: If the God-man (remember He was FULLY God and also fully man) needed to get up early in the morning, get away from all the people, and spend time in the presence of His Father-- HOW MUCH MORE DO WE?! I got an email back that said this: Almighty GOD is not a man nor has he ever been. Read a little deeper in your Bible. Learn his name and differentiate between the father and his son who also is a god but the one and only ALMIGHTY GOD. So, I thought it'd be fun to bring this to you, mi padre, and see how you would respond to this person. Links Mentioned: Sign up for The Weekly One To read the show notes, click here.

The reality of Jesus' birth, death, and resurrection allow us to live in freedom knowing that He has taken the punishment for sin on our behalf. Because Jesus was made fully human, you are restored, reinstated, released and revealed. Hebrews 2:5-18 Kelly Craighead
Today Dr. Will Ryan and Dr. Matt consider the incarnation of Jesus and the ramifications regarding Original Sin. We want to give a Shout out to Warren McGrew of Idol Killer and Will and Brian of The Church Split for their series' on Original sin and for helping us articulate some of the content in this episode. • The immaculate conception of Mary is a late dogma created to prop up original sin. But not only this a “preservative redemption” is also needed for Mary to remain sinless • The Virgin birth in both Protestant and Catholic circles is used incorrectly to promote the doctrine of Original Sin. o For Catholics it deals with the issue of concupiscence o For Protestants it actually does nothing as Mary was born of human parents and still would transmit Original Sin o We affirm the virgin birth but in Isaiah 7 it is called a sign pointing to the miracle of the messiah and has nothing to do with original sin. • The way Protestants try to get around this is the hypostatic union, which we also affirm, but Protestants use it incorrectly to support this Doctrine. • 3 points of the incarnation: o Jesus came in flesh- he was fully human like us (yet fully God). He experienced what we do. o Jesus had no sin in him (he wasn't born with it) o And Jesus never sinned • Thus, no Original sin if Jesus assumed exactly what we are and partook of the same nature yet did not sin. • If Original Sin is true and Jesus was spared it through the immaculate conception then Jesus was not like us in every way and cannot sympathize with our weaknesses and Hebrews 4:15 is a lie and Jesus is an unfit High Priest. o This is what the Doctrine of Original Sin gets us into. Conclusion/ The Better Way Jesus was fully God and Fully Man. He assumed all that we are so that he could make us all that he is and heal us. The Incarnation o We saw that Jesus came in the flesh just like us (but also fully God) o We saw that there was no sin in Jesus (no original sin) o We saw that Jesus did not sin We also looked at Mary and all the gymnastics that needed to happen with her to hold up this unbiblical doctrine. We looked at how Calvinists have no foundation to stand on with Original sin in the Virgin Birth (we affirm it!), the Hypostatic Union (in which they downplay Jesus' humanity), and they come dangerously close to many Gnostic heresies. The Better Way As humans it is comforting to know that Jesus went through all that we did and was still sinless. He has redeemed us and comes beside us to conform us into his image. So rather than focusing on the negative theology of Augustinianism and Calvinism look at the beauty that is in Jesus becoming just like us in every way to heal us and make us whole! _________ Visit www.expedition44.com for posted articles and more.
