A High View of Scripture

Podcast Episode 161 - A High View of God

"A High View of God" from Pastor Curt De Graaff

Two Decisions for all Disciples:• Intentionality -• Intensity -I. A Humility that leads to Intensity -vv. 11-151. True Salvation - Repent & Believe2. True Sanctification -a. Flee from -b. Follow after -c. Fight for -II. A Holiness that leads to Purity - vv.15-16 (“in His own time”)1. The Blessed and only Sovereign - Potentate!2. The King of Kings and Lord of lords - Revelation 17:14; 19:163. Who alone possesses immortality - You want it? You must get it from the Lord!4. Who alone dwells in unapproachable light (God met Moses in a burning bush; God met Isaiah in a smoke-filled temple; God met Peter in a boat on the sea; God met John on the island of Patmos) John 1; I John 3:1-2; Revelation 1:1; Exodus 33 -5. Who is to be Honored - Your stated goal? Honor has been a theme in chapters 5 & 6! Honor God @ work; Honor God w/ widows; Honor God w/ pastors; Honor God over money; Honor God!6. Who has Eternal Dominion - over your sin and over Satan (both now and for all time).

In this episode of Pursuing Wisdom in Proverbs, we dive into God's high view of sex and marriage as revealed in Proverbs 5:15-20, as it combats the sexual sin we discussed last week. We explore how the Bible presents sex not as something shameful or transactional, but as a beautiful, intimate, and continuous blessing within marriage. Join Luke Metzler as he unpacks the rich metaphors of flowing water, fountains, and springs to illustrate God's design for sexual intimacy. Whether married or single, this episode offers wisdom on how to align your life with God's purpose for love, intimacy, and overcoming the temptations of sexual sin. xplusone.org

Understanding your true value as a man is crucial for a healthy marriage. And here's the thing, the kingdom doesn't deal in zero sum games. So you stepping into your worth doesn't equate to your wife getting trampled, domineered, etc. It equates to you leader her into a marriage where you both are living in your God-given royal identities. Together you rule over the domain God has entrusted to you. When you embrace your identity as worthy and valuable, you can love and serve your wife from a place of confidence and security, without neediness or manipulation.

Passage: 2 Peter 3:15-18 Sermon Notes: Intro: - What type of people we are to be while we wait - Spotless and Blameless - This week is Part 2 1. People with Salvation Mindset a. Age of Salvation i. Anything built that has no eternal value will not. ii. Spend your life building on what will last. 2. People of the Word - Those who twist the word a. Progressive Christianity i. Sells itself as a valid option for Christians. ii. Seems more acceptable, more likable, a more palatable version of The faith. iii. But at the heart of it, it really is not Christianity at all. b. Progressive Christianity Symptoms i. Faith is celebrated, but not The Faith ii. Belief in Jesus can be both orthodox and blasphemous. iii. Love for God is defined whether you are loving people. iv. Hypercritical of Evangelical Christians v. Bible is important for some spiritual truth but is majorly flawed. c. Heart of Progressive Christianity - “Maybe Eve was never meant to be our warning, maybe she was meant to be our model. Own your wanting, eat the apple.”—inner voice is the guiding factor. i. Sin is no longer what's wrong with the world, but unrealized ambition. My inner need is a spiritual one. It's liberating, cause you're casting off the shackle of the Christianity you've been raised in and you're able to forge your own path, with Jesus and the bible along to approve of you. ii. Inner sense of goodness and personal purpose are your spiritual authority. iii. You're the hero of the journey, therefore the idea of God judging you is in conflict. 3. Be People of the Word a. High View of Scripture and High Knowledge of the word

How well can you articulate your Christian belief system? How can you spot false theology? Who are trusted resources to interpret Scripture? The Nicene Creed is a fundamental element to understand and experience our faith and live out a high Christology. So, today Stephanie welcomes university professor and author Phillip Cary to discuss the significance of the Nicene Creed in Christian tradition. Phillip recently released a new book, The Nicene Creed: An introduction, which is one of Stephanie's favorite reads this year- and this is saying a lot! In the second half of the conversation today, Phillip and Stephanie touch on the Nicene Creed's widespread usage among different denominations, how it serves as a boundary and center for the faith, how it was written to combat heresy about who Jesus is, and how it has served as a unifying factor for different Christian traditions. this episode is part 2 of the conversation. Make sure you listened to part one, episode 235:  https://www.podcastics.com/episode/243538/link/ They dive into what a creed is, with the Nicene Creed being the most widely used and recited by about a billion Christians every Sunday during liturgies. They explore the Creed's significance, how it establishes boundaries and centers our faith, and how it powerfully anchors our belief in Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The conversation also delves into the infinite depth of the Christian faith, as well as more topics such as the significance of Mary's role in the birth of Jesus, the role of Pontius Pilate, who are both mentioned in the Creed, and the topic of who teaches the truth about Jesus Christ and how the Creed is the litmus test of sound Christian doctrine. This episode will anchor your faith in a proper high Christology in simple terms and offers important insights into the significance of the Nicene Creed for Christians of all traditions. If you're interested in the history and importance of Christian creeds, this episode is definitely worth a listen! MORE ABOUT THE BOOK, THE NICENE CREED: AN INTRODUCTION Understand and celebrate what we believe! For centuries, the Nicene Creed has been central to the church's confession. The Nicene Creed: An Introduction by Phillip Cary explores the Creed's riches with simplicity and clarity. Cary explains the history of the Creed and walks through its meaning line by line. Far from being abstract or irrelevant, the words of the Creed carefully express what God has done in Christ and through the Spirit. The Nicene Creed gives us the gospel. It gives biblical Christians the words for what we already believe. And when we profess the Creed, we join the global church throughout history in declaring the name and work of the one God—Father, Son, and Spirit. Gain a fresh appreciation for the ancient confession with Phillip Cary's help. Buy the book (Stephanie could not recommend it strongly enough!) here: https://lexhampress.com/product/224267/the-nicene-creed-an-introduction  MEET PHILLIP CARY Phillip Cary is a prolific writer of courses and books, professor of philosophy at Eastern University near Philadelphia. He is also the editor of Pro Ecclesia, a theology journal for Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox churches. Phillip has a doctorate in philosophy from Yale University, where he studied St. Augustine, one of the great church fathers. His favorite theologian is Martin Luther, and he writes about Luther's ideas. Phillip loves The Nicene Creed because it summarizes what Luther means by gospel - the story of who Jesus Christ is and what God has done in Christ for us and our salvation. He has been working on a book about this topic for a long time, so we gladly celebrate The Nicene Creed: An Introduction today. NEW | GO DEEPER WITH THESE QUESTIONS, ALONE OR WITH A FRIEND! 1.

In light of a recent Gallop poll, Dr. Iorg responds to the low confidence of pastors. How did Pastors lose so much respect from our culture? Dr. Iorg explains how pastors have ruined their own reputation, and provides some ways that pastors can recover that trust.

We can't not worship. All of us worship someone or something. Either we worship the One True God, or we settle for a substitute. The opposite of THEOLOGY is IDOLATRY. The purpose of THEOLOGY is DOXOLOGY. “A LOW VIEW of God is the cause of a hundred lesser evils,” said A.W. Tozer. “A HIGH VIEW of God is the solution to 10,000 temporal problems.”

This week on the podcast, Matt and Leslee Holliday recap their study through the "Discipleship Handbook," a 10-week plan from The Increase that examines some of the most important topics encompassing what it looks like to be a disciple of Jesus. If you missed any of the previous episodes, you can find them at the links below. Still need the handbook? Get your copy here! “Table Forty” is part of the Sports Spectrum Podcast Network.

As final words often are, some of Jesus's last words to His disciples before He ascended into Heaven were significant. We should lean in very close to hear and heed the task He left them (and us) with, until His return. These final words of Jesus are often referred to as the Great Commission, and as a follower of Jesus, it truly is the greatest mission we get to be part of. There is nothing more exhilarating and life-giving than to love and care about others so deeply that you are willing to lay aside your agenda, comfort, reputation, or even safety to bring the life-changing love and Good News of Jesus to others. We are called to "multiply" and make disciples. Sharing our faith with others can be intimidating, though, and we often doubt our ability to do it. This week on "Table Forty," Matt and Leslee Holliday discuss how we as Christians are always representing Jesus, whether we're in church or at the grocery store. The life that happens in between presents plenty of chances to display God's love and to multiply our faith by sharing the hope of Christ with others.

Faith is often a struggle. It can be a battle to hold onto faith when there is so much hardship and suffering in this world. The various trials we all face in life present us with unique temptations to lose faith. Where the enemy wants to use trials as opportunities to devour our faith, God wants to use them to refine and strengthen it. As believers, we can cling to the truth of Hebrews 11:1, which says, “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” This week on "Table Forty," Matt and Leslee Holliday examine what it looks like to have our faith grown stronger in the midst of the hard seasons of life.
