A continuation of our Wednesday night study on hermeneutics as we consider the role of the Holy Spirit in the authorship and interpretation of Scripture.

"And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches." Revelation 1:12-20

Preaching is never meant to stop at information - it is meant to produce transformation. That was the heart of Eric Lockhart's message, Preaching for Change and Obedience, delivered at the Expositors Collective training event in Kampala on 13 September 2024. With warmth and clarity, Eric urged preachers to stay rooted in the biblical text while pressing their listeners toward holiness and obedience through Spirit-empowered application.He reminded participants that the preacher's task is not to simply talk about the Bible but to faithfully declare what the Bible says. Using the image of a river, Eric explained that the power of preaching flows from the Holy Spirit working through the proclamation of Scripture. The goal is not to impress hearers with knowledge but to persuade them toward faithful action in response to God's Word.Eric also highlighted the necessity of application, both in the preacher's own life and in the lives of the audience. Biblical truth, he insisted, always demands a response. Application may be woven throughout a sermon or drawn out at the end, but it must be Christ-centred, specific, and actionable. In doing so, preaching helps believers become doers of the Word and not hearers only.Mr Eric Lockhart serves as Deputy Principal of Academic Affairs at Uganda Baptist Seminary. He holds an MDiv and ThM from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in North Carolina, and before moving to Uganda in 2018 with his wife and four boys, he pastored in the USA for fourteen years. At UBS, he lectures on Hermeneutics and Homiletics and continues to champion preaching that does more than inform - preaching that transforms.Mr. Eric Lockhart is First Deputy Principal of Academic Affairs at Uganda Baptist Seminary in Jinja, UG where he also serves as Lecturer. In addition, he serves with the International Mission Board (IMB) as the Theological Education Strategist for Sub-Saharan Africa. Likewise, he serves as convener of ABTEN and a contributor to AB316, the writing branch of ABTEN. Mr. Lockhart holds both a MDiv in Christian Ministry and a ThM in Applied Theology from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (SEBTS) in Wake Forest, NC. He is currently pursuing a PhD in Applied Theology with an emphasis on preaching. Mr. Lockhart is a contributing author and co-editor of  True Prosperity: A Bible Study for the African Church. Previously, he served eighteen years as a pastor in United States. He has been married to Rebekah for 23 years. They are blessed with four sons, Elijah, Noah, Gavin, and Corban.For information about our upcoming training events visit ExpositorsCollective.com The Expositors Collective podcast is part of the CGNMedia, Working together to proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, and plant churches.

ABOUT THE EPISODEBiblical Theology and Theological Interpretation of Scripture (TIS) are two dominant ways of reading the Bible. In this article, Colin Smothers compares and contrasts both exegetical methods, showing how readers should be cautious of TIS.Resources to Click“Biblical Theology and Theological Interpretation of Scripture” – Colin SmothersThe Chicago Statement of Inerrancy (1978)“Inauguration of the Rev.

I mentioned some time ago of my intention to work slowly through the pastorally-suggestive book of 2 Chronicles. This episode is a part of that.

A continuation of our Wednesday night study on hermeneutics

In this episode, Onya speaks with Mara Stoll (UCL MSc Prosperity, Innovation & Entrepreneurship) and theologian Dr. David Dark about how hermeneutics, the art of interpretation, can transform social entrepreneurship. Together, they unpack why understanding our own assumptions and a community's lived reality is key to avoiding well-intentioned missteps. Discover how applying hermeneutic principles can help founders slow down, listen deeply, and co-create ventures that truly fit the people they are meant to serve.

"Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into." 1 Peter 1:10-12

Text us your questions!Ready to transform your relationship with the Bible? Zach Lambert, pastor of Restore Church in Austin and author of Better Ways to Read the Bible, offers a healing pathway for those wounded by scripture in this candid conversation.Growing up in a Southern Baptist megachurch during the "fundamentalist takeover," Lambert experienced firsthand how the Bible can be weaponized. Disagreeing with the pastor's interpretation is often treated as disagreeing with God. This authoritarian approach created spiritual trauma that eventually led Zach to seek healthier ways of engaging with scripture.Zach challenges the notion that there's one "plain reading" of the Bible, noting that everyone interprets scripture through various lenses. Some lenses—like literalism, apocalypse, moralism, and hierarchy—often produce harm, while others—focused on Jesus, context, flourishing, and fruitfulness—lead to healing. The key differentiator is the fruit they produce. "We should be asking with any given biblical interpretation: is it producing more love, joy, peace, patience, kindness in me and in the world around me?"The conversation tackles difficult topics like biblical violence, the subjugation of women, and LGBTQ+ inclusion, offering fresh perspectives without abandoning the text. Zach suggests we view scripture as John the Baptist pointing to Jesus rather than an end in itself: "Jesus didn't say 'here is the truth, believe it.' He said 'I am the truth, follow me.'" This shift from a text-centered to a person-centered faith can transform our approach to scripture.Whether you're deconstructing harmful theology, seeking to reintegrate the Bible into your spiritual life, or simply curious about healthier interpretive frameworks, this episode provides thoughtful guidance for transforming scripture from a weapon of harm into a tool of healing.=====Want to support us?The best way is to subscribe to our Patreon.

Missiologists have debated for years on how to interpret the book of Acts: Is it "descriptive" or "prescriptive?" We propose a third option for interpreting and applying Acts, what we call, "I want to be like that!" Listen in as we discuss the unique gift we have in the book of Acts, the divinely-inspired record of God's Spirit-filled people living out the Great Commission, and how that record should inspire, challenge, and inform our lives as believers and missionaries.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off our weekly theme of “Back to School” with some of the professors from the Moody Bible Institute (MBI). We had Dr. Jim Coakley join us to talk about Hermeneutics, the study of interpreting the Bible. Dr. Coakley is a professor of Bible at MBI and a current elder with the 180 Chicago church. He is also a member of the Evangelical Theological Society. He has several publications and books, including “14 Fresh Ways to Enjoy the Bible.” We also had Dr. Sanjay Merchant join us to break down the divinity of the Trinity. Dr. Merchant is a former atheist turned believer and professor of Theology at MBI. He also teaches Apologetics and Philosophy and has three Master’s degrees in Apologetics, Philosophy, and Theology, and a doctorate that focuses on the Trinity. We then turned to the phone lines to ask the question, "What did God help you to see most clearly, that you couldn't see before?" We then had a conversation about how turning to the Lord brings clarity and understanding and “removes the veil”. We see this in 2 Corinthians 3:12-17, where it talks about the veil being a covering over the mind of those who are without Christ and how it is only removed when we turn to Him. We then had Sydney Swenson join us to share about the upcoming admissions event, “Experience Moody.” Sydney is the Admissions Operations Manager for MBI in Chicago. She organizes all of the campus visits and “Experience Moody” events, and the next one is September 26, 2025. You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

We had Dr. Jim Coakley join us to talk about Hermeneutics, the study of interpreting the Bible. Dr. Coakley is a professor of Bible at MBI and a current elder with the 180 Chicago church. He is also a member of the Evangelical Theological Society. He has several publications and books, including “14 Fresh Ways to Enjoy the Bible.” We also had Dr. Sanjay Merchant join us to break down the divinity of the Trinity. Dr. Merchant is a former atheist turned believer and professor of Theology at MBI. He also teaches Apologetics and Philosophy and has three Master’s degrees in Apologetics, Philosophy, and Theology, and a doctorate that focuses on the Trinity. We then turned to the phone lines to ask the question, "What did God help you to see most clearly, that you couldn't see before?" We then had a conversation about how turning to the Lord brings clarity and understanding and “removes the veil”. We see this in 2 Corinthians 3:12-17, where it talks about the veil being a covering over the mind of those who are without Christ and how it is only removed when we turn to Him. We then had Sydney Swenson join us to share about the upcoming admissions event, “Experience Moody.” Sydney is the Admissions Operations Manager for MBI in Chicago. She organizes all of the campus visits and “Experience Moody” events, and the next one is September 26, 2025. You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

Derek's friend doesn't believe in the moon landing. Andy explains that modern-day conspiracy theories rooted in the Three Horsemen of the Hermeneutics of Suspicion: Nietzsche, Freud, and Marx.  It surprisingly has a lot to do with ministry in a Secular Age.

Gary discusses a few "contradictions" commonly pointed out by critics. These textual "issues" seem to be difficult on the surface, but a bit of deeper reading makes it obvious that these "problems" with the Biblical text are not really problems at all. Christians must read in order to understand, and recognize that differences in how things are reported in the Bible are theologically significant and add depth and layers to the text as a whole.
