He's about to deliver a sermon so fire that prison gates are going to be swung wide open. Join us in our year's final episode as Summer tells the story of one of the most famous sermons in all of church history!

Psalm 104 and Ecclesiastes 8: Man's Glory Is Fading; God's Glory Is Everlasting by Shawn Ozbun
In this episode of The Westminster Podcast, Brandon McLean Smith is joined again by Brian Selby for a wide-ranging theological conversation on Herman Bavinck, Christology, and the enduring significance of the infralapsarian–supralapsarian debate. Selby explores recent developments in Bavinck scholarship, arguing that Bavinck is far more decisive than often assumed in ordering creation, fall, and redemption with a view to Christ as the telos of all things—while firmly rejecting problematic forms of “incarnation anyway.” Drawing on Bavinck's engagement with Scripture, the Reformed tradition, and his 19th-century theological context, the conversation situates Bavinck as a critical foil to later neo-orthodox developments, particularly Karl Barth. The discussion also broadens to consider theological retrieval and method. Selby and Smith reflect on how Bavinck models a distinctly Reformed approach to engaging modern questions without surrendering confessional commitments—retrieving the tradition without mere repristination, and advancing dogmatics in service of the church's witness in every age. Along the way, they address Christocentrism, revelation, apologetics, and the task of theology in a changing intellectual landscape, offering a compelling vision of how historic Reformed theology can remain faithful, catholic, and intellectually alive today.

Ephesians 3:14-21. From the "New Testament" sermon series. Preached by Stephen Baker.
At the heart of the gospel is the doctrine of union with Christ – we are in Christ, and he is in us. As we turn the corner on another year, we pause to look more closely at this reality. In this sermon, we consider the simple truth that union with Christ requires death.

What was Mary actually "pondering" in her heart?. It was more than just maternal feelings; it was a deep understanding of God's mercy and His sovereign reign. In this Christmas Day message, we conclude our series on the "Mothers of Jesus" by looking at the scandalous favor of Mary and her song of upheaval. Join us as we trace the faithfulness of God from the genealogies of the Old Testament to the humble feeding trough of the Messiah.
In our sin, we are all like the shepherds: "children of the dirt" with no ladder to climb to reach God. In this Christmas meditation, we look at the beauty of the Gospel that shines in the dark and lowly places of our lives. Discover why the announcement to the shepherds wasn't an accident, but a proclamation that the message of salvation is for all people.

Matthew 2:11. From the "Special Services" sermon series. Preached by Joel Barker.
What if the life you're living… isn't the life God intended for you? Or do you find yourself not satisfied with where your life is currently? Without question, this is exactly where I found myself many years ago when I was running from God. I came back to the Lord, broken, hopeless, with literally NOTHING to show for my life… but in Christ, everything changed! This Sunday we are beginning a new series that speaks on JUST THAT! In Christ Alone | Part 1: Reformed & Reborn! The old you — the broken you, the burdened you, the defeated you — is not the “you” that God sees. Scripture tells us that in Christ we are sanctified, begotten, made alive, adopted and transformed into a new creature. You see, it's not even an “improvement”… or an “upgrade”…but we are completely made brand NEW! We will discover what it truly means to walk in the identity God has given you — a life sanctified, reborn, and empowered in Christ. So come, step into a new life with us, that is, already yours… “In Christ!” Email Us: info@heartofworshipchurch.com Visit Our Website: www.heartofworshipchurch.com For Prayer Requests: pray@heartofworshipcurch.com
Started off taking a LOT more time than I expected talking about ancient housing arrangements, what a "manger" might be, etc., and then moved on to a rant against Reformed theology and a common argument against God's decree that keeps coming up. Interrupted by a brief power outage at our office, but, I assume Rich will just cut that out. Enjoy!

Rachel joins us on da pod and we read listener emails and give advice as three reformed Catholics. The emails take us from moving in with a partner before marriage and how to navigate it when you are Christian, your partner is atheist, and your parents are stressed. Then we spiral into proposal talk, Catholic flashbacks, confession secrets, ghosts, and why men love to talk a big game and do absolutely nothing. Plus, “Aries” is back with an update on a divorced high school ex, long distance lust, and where the line is between fun curiosity and a nervous system crash.

Did you grow up learning about Bible stories through Sunday school felt boards while holding your storybook picture Bible? Does your grandmother have a picture of blonde-haired, blue-eyed Jesus hanging in her home? Have you watched Mel Gibson's The Passion or Dallas Jenkins' The Chosen and felt as if it helped you to better connect with Jesus' humanity?In this episode, we dive deep into the scope of the Second Commandment - "You shall not make for yourself an idol" - exploring both what Scripture has to say and how it was viewed historically. From Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 4, we unpack God's prohibition against fashioning representations of Himself, including the two-fold command against making and worshiping them. We trace the regulative principle of worship through church history: from early Christian symbols to the Roman Catholic veneration of images, the Reformers' ban under Calvin and the Puritans, and its modern relaxation.Drawing on the golden calf in Exodus 32, we see how "good" intentions don't excuse transgression, as God declares His jealousy and promises blessings for obedience (Exodus 20:5-6). God's holiness (Leviticus 19:2) and invisibility (Romans 1:20; Colossians 1:15) demand faith in the unseen (Hebrews 11:1), not visual aids.We address common concerns: intentions of the heart, classical art, teaching children about Jesus, and more, all while affirming the Westminster Larger Catechism's clear stance against any depiction of the Godhead. Whether you're Reformed or curious, join us for a Scripture-saturated discussion on worshiping God as He commands, especially in the season celebrating the Incarnation.Keep Up with Reformed Faith and Family in the Following Ways:Never miss an episode, article, or a new FREEBIE by joining our weekly newsletter here: https://reformedfaithandfamily.com/subscribe/Build your library with our recommended resources: https://reformedfaithandfamily.com/recommended-resources/Read the latest articles: https://reformedfaithandfamily.com/blog/Download your FREEBIES in our store: https://reformedfaithandfamily.com/educational-resources-store/Check out the Gift Shop: https://reformedfaithandfamily.com/gift-shop/Good Dog Bible Rebinds: https://reformedfaithandfamily.com/good-dog-designs-and-rebinds/WE HAVE A FAVOR TO ASK!

As we examine the story of Christ's birth in Luke 2, we find that the angels in heaven and the witnesses on earth are rejoicing and praising God because the promised Savior, Christ the Lord, has come into the world to rescue mankind from the wrath of God and grant forgiveness for our sins. Therefore, as people who have been redeemed from our past and forgiven for the sin that has separated us from God, we in turn must submit to Christ as King, proclaim him as our Savior, and worship him as Lord.

Luke and John - Daniel GillespieWant to learn more about Eastwood? Visit https://eastwood.church
In faith Daniel preached the crown rights of Yahweh in the courts of emperors. His wisdom and prophecy arrested the attention of kings whose greatness was not eclipsed until the fulfillment of his prophecy on Christmas Day in a Bethlehem manger. The events surrounding his ministry foreshadowed the incarnation, coronation, and ascension of the King of Kings Jesus Christ. Early in his tenure as a court official for Nebuchadnezzar, God gave the king and Daniel the same dream and he gave Daniel the interpretation. The composite statue of gold, silver, bronze, iron and clay represented a series of kingdoms counting down to Christmas when a kingdom would overpower them all and reign forever. Taking Daniel's ‘song' of pre-incarnation worship in verses 20-23 of chapter 2 as our outline, we find this occasion confirming his confession of God's grace & greatness in its prophetic revelation and the response of a earthly king.
THE URGENCY OF SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM Colleague Veronique de Rugy, Mercatus Center. Veronique de Rugy argues Social Security must be reformed before trust funds run dry in the 2030s. She contends the system unfairly redistributes wealth from young workers to increasingly wealthy seniors and advocates for capping benefits or means-testing rather than raising taxes or allowing across-the-board cuts.

Joseph Rises To Power - Torah Portion - Miketz: (Genesis 41–44:17) - (2021-2022 Rebroadcast) by Shawn Ozbun
Can theological debates destroy Christian unity? In this raw, unfiltered conversation, we sit down with Jon Moffitt (Theocast) and Doug Van Dorn (Reformed Fringe) to discuss one of the more controversial splits in the Reformed world—and what it reveals about how we handle disagreement in the body of Christ. Jon and Doug open up about their journey exploring the spiritual realm, the divine council, and the angel of the Lord—topics that sparked fierce opposition within their own theological circles. What began as thoughtful biblical exploration turned into accusations of heresy, demands for public repentance, and ultimately, painful separation from longtime friends and ministry partners.This isn't just another theology debate. It's a sobering look at how pride, fear, and miscommunication can fracture Christian unity, even among believers who share the same core convictions. Jon and Doug discuss the Grace Reformed Network controversy, the role of Michael Heiser's work in Reformed circles, and why talking about angels and spiritual warfare became so divisive.We dive deep into questions that matter: How should Christians handle theological disagreements? When does doctrinal clarity become doctrinal gatekeeping? And how do we fight for truth without destroying the very unity Christ prayed for ?Whether you're Reformed, charismatic, or somewhere in between, this conversation offers crucial lessons about humility, spiritual warfare, and the cost of standing for what you believe. The real enemy isn't the brother who disagrees with you—it's the one who wants to see the church divided.Join Joshua Lewis, Michael Miller, Jon Moffitt, and Doug Van Dorn for a conversation about Christian theology, biblical interpretation, spiritual warfare, church unity, and what happens when good men disagree.0:00 – Introduction7:12 – The (Reformed) Fringe podcast12:43 – Heiser, the Divine Council, & pushback 20:11 – Online debates, slander, & controversy31:05 – Strawmanning & accusations of heresy43:06 – Internal concerns & pressure to shut down Fringe50:04 – Email ultimatum56:02 – Board letters, Jon & Doug's clarifying response1:02:24 – Doug's theology of the Angel of the Lord1:13:35 – How GRN handled Doug's old paper & calls for due process1:19:23 – Reflections on unity, charity, & spiritual warfare1:23:28 – Closing
