Wisdom From Psalm 105 & Proverbs 23: Look Not Thou Upon The Wine When It Is Red by Shawn Ozbun
How bad is sin—really?Joel Settecase tackles total depravity head-on—why humans aren't just “broken” but spiritually dead, why that matters for the gospel, and where Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, and “provisionists” get it wrong. This is straight, no-fluff theology for men who want to lead.In this episode you'll hear:What total depravity / total inability actually means (not “as bad as possible,” but “corrupt in every part”).Why “I'm a good person” collapses when you see God's standard of perfection, faith, and His glory.How Scripture proves our minds, hearts, and wills are enslaved to sin apart from Christ.How this doctrine explodes your view of grace, regeneration, and the cross.2 big mistakes non-evangelicals make:Roman Catholic: “But Noah and Job were righteous!” Eastern Orthodox: “Total depravity erases the image of God!” A third challenge: the “we're not born depraved” crowdFor Christian men who are done with soft theologyPerfect if you want to:Lead your family with confidence in God's Word.Understand Calvinism beyond the memes and strawmen.Engage Catholics, Orthodox, and non-Reformed friends with clarity and courage.Join the Hammer & Anvil SocietyWant brothers who are serious about doctrine and discipleship?

In a world chasing after new answers every January, Luke 3:1-20 reminds us that God has already spoken with shocking clarity in real history: he broke centuries of silence through John the Baptist to announce that the Messiah has arrived, judgment is coming, and now is the time to receive the good news, repent from your sins, and unashamedly follow Christ publicly. When the Judge finally separates the wheat from chaff, what will your life reveal about who you truly trusted?
Genesis 50:15-21. From the "Old Testament" sermon series. Preached by Mike Tiberi.
At the heart of the gospel is the doctrine of union with Christ – we are in Christ, and he is in us. As we continue exploring this transformative reality, we turn from death to resurrection. In this sermon, we consider the simple yet profound truth that union with Christ produces life.
“Jesus is decisive, knowing what he has to do. Disciples need to be decisive, too. ”

This beloved chapter in Paul's first letter to the Corinthians is often appropriated without much regard to the context. While standing alone the chapter reads like a poetic excursus on the beauty of human affection suitable for wedding vows, the first application pertains to relationships between church members. Paul insists that love is the necessary precondition for the exercise of Spiritual gifts. This emphasis was not novel. Paul is expounding applications of Jesus' words in John 13:35: “By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” According to Paul and Jesus, gospel-grounded mutual love is basic to the identity and calling of the Christian church. The central message of the so called “love chapter” is a call to order our affections according to the hierarchy of Christian priorities as the Body of Christ. Given the occasion of the first Lord's Day of 2026, our text provides opportunity to inspire meaningful New Year's resolutions.
In this first episode of 2026, we take some time to reflect on 2025 and some of the major events that transpired. We pay special attention on the recent developments within the conservative right and the fractures that have become clear in the wake of Charlie Kirk's death as a result of conspiracy theories and the appeal of sensational explanatory narratives. Following the guidance of Scripture & our Reformed confessions, in this episode we discuss how Christians ought not be marked by pervasive distrust of government and institutions, but by an abiding respect for and willingness to trust them despite their failings.

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.

This Sunday we continued in our series through Luke's Gospel as Pastor Alex delivered a sermon centered on Luke 2:21-52. In his sermon, Pastor Alex explained how Christ's two natures, his divine nature and his human nature, often referred to as the Hypostatic Union, serve as one of the core doctrines of the Christian faith.

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.

We worship and follow Jesus, the exalted Son of Man, who entered his glory through suffering as a ransom for us.
Today is a second message beholding the majesty of Christmas from the vantage point of Daniel's prophetic record. Last week we considered the interpretation of the king's composite statue vision as a countdown to Christmas. Today we turn over a chapter to another incident illuminating the glories of the incarnation. This time from a ‘before and after' perspective, we compare the fiery furnace ordeal survived by Daniel's three friends, with the Mount of Transfiguration in Matthew's gospel. What difference does Christmas make in world history and the destiny of believers? The scriptures gloriously answer in their particular instruction and their big picture perspective. It is primarily from this second point of view that we behold the glories of Christ incarnate in our sermon today.
Sunday Worship December 28th, 2025 “God's Zeal Amongst The Marginalized” Luke 2:8-20 Rev. Tyler Dirks Sermon Audio Sermon Outline: Who God Shares The Moment With What God Says They'll Do The Joy Of The Lord Is Our Strength Reflection Questions: What are two or three stories in the Bible that make you […] The post God's Zeal Amongst The Marginalized appeared first on East Charlotte Pres.
The sermon centers on the biblical truth that the preaching of the Word of God, when faithfully delivered by ordained ministers, is itself the very Word of God and must be received by believers as such. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 2:13, Luke 10:16, and 2 Corinthians 5:20, it emphasizes that hearing a preacher is equivalent to hearing Christ, and rejecting faithful preaching is tantamount to rejecting God. The message calls for a profound recovery of reverence in both pulpit and pew: preachers must approach their calling with solemnity, authenticity, and unwavering fidelity to divine revelation, avoiding personal opinions and modifying the message, while hearers must come prepared, expectant, and in faith, listening not to human wisdom but to the living voice of God. This conviction, rooted in Reformed tradition and affirmed by Calvin, transforms worship into a sacred encounter where God speaks, convicts, comforts, and transforms, making preaching the powerful means of grace it was intended to be.

What is the "chief end" of man? In this sermon, we explore why the answer to our modern identity crisis isn't found in a new algorithm, but in the historic truth that we were made to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. From the creation of the world to the bodily ascension of Jesus Christ, we see that God places a high status on humanity. Join us as we discuss how to reclaim our humanity in 2026 by prioritizing local relationships and embracing our creaturely limits.

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!

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.
