One of our Deacons, Brother Rick, teaches the second lesson of our New Members / Get to know Legacy material. In this lesson we go over what it means to be a Reformed Baptist. How is that different from other kinds of Baptist, and while we are at it, what makes a Baptist. We tackle the issue by looking at some history, and what we call the 3 C's: Confessional, Covenantal, Calvinistic.
Preached on Sunday the 4th of May, 2025.1 Peter 2:12-17 “Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation. Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.”Intro Music by Julius H. from Pixabay Outro Music by PianoAmor from Pixabay

Dive deep into the foundational truths of the Christian faith with us as we unpack questions 8 and 9 of the Baptist Catechism. In this episode, we explore the crucial affirmation that there is but one only, the living and true God, dismantling any notion of multiple deities. We then delve into the glorious mystery of the Godhead, examining the biblical revelation that within this one God exists three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. From a Reformed Baptist perspective, we consider the scriptural basis for understanding God's singular essence and triune existence. We'll discuss the vital importance of these doctrines for our worship, our understanding of salvation, and our daily walk with the Lord. Join us as we unpack key concepts like monotheism, the Trinity, the distinct persons of the Godhead, their shared essence, and their equal power and glory. Whether you're a seasoned theologian or simply seeking a deeper understanding of core Christian beliefs, this episode will provide a clear and insightful exploration of these essential truths from the Baptist Catechism.

Preached on Resurrection Sunday April the 20th, 2025.Acts 17:29-34 “Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man. The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.” Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked. But others said, “We will hear you again about this.” So Paul went out from their midst. But some men joined him and believed, among whom also were Dionysius the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris and others with them.”Intro Music by Julius H. from Pixabay Outro Music by PianoAmor from Pixabay
Preached on Good Friday April the 18th, 2025.Leviticus 16:27-34 “And the bull for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall be carried outside the camp. Their skin and their flesh and their dung shall be burned up with fire. And he who burns them shall wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and afterward he may come into the camp. “And it shall be a statute to you forever that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict yourselves and shall do no work, either the native or the stranger who sojourns among you. For on this day shall atonement be made for you to cleanse you. You shall be clean before the Lord from all your sins. It is a Sabbath of solemn rest to you, and you shall afflict yourselves; it is a statute forever. And the priest who is anointed and consecrated as priest in his father's place shall make atonement, wearing the holy linen garments. He shall make atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make atonement for the tent of meeting and for the altar, and he shall make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly. And this shall be a statute forever for you, that atonement may be made for the people of Israel once in the year because of all their sins.” And Aaron did as the Lord commanded Moses.”Hebrews 13:10-16 “We have an altar from which those who serve the tent have no right to eat. For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy places by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp. So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood. Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear the reproach he endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name. Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.”Intro Music by Julius H. from Pixabay Outro Music by PianoAmor from Pixabay
Preached on Sunday April the 13th, 2025.1 Peter 2:4-10“As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For it stands in Scripture: “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.” So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe, “The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,” and “A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.” They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do. But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.”Intro Music by Julius H. from Pixabay Outro Music by PianoAmor from Pixabay

Born in Elmhood, Michigan, Sam Waldron was raised by parents who converted to Christ shortly before his birth. Though still young in the faith, they were the biggest influences on his life, regularly reading the Bible as a family and attending church together, and faithfully disciplining him for misbehavior. After confessing Christ and being baptized at age 7, Sam struggled with assurance of salvation for years until he came to understand that salvation was by God's free grace alone. Since then, God has raised him up as a leading Reformed Baptist pastor whose passion for sound doctrine and the importance of the local church has blessed many.
Preached on Sunday the 23rd of March, 2025.1 Peter 1:13-21 “Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one's deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.”We'd love to hear how this sermon has impacted you, whether you're exploring faith or deepening your walk with Christ.

Theonomy, also known as Christian Reconstructionism, has seen a revival in recent decades. The early movement, led by R.J. Rushdoony, Gary North, and Greg Bahnsen, taught what Bahnsen described as “the abiding validity of the Mosaic law in exhaustive detail.” But how does this teaching align with Scripture and the Reformed tradition?In this video, Scott sits down with Dr. Sam Waldron and Dr. Tom Hicks to discuss their new book, Theonomy Old and New: A Reformed Baptist Assessment. They examine the historical roots of Theonomy, its postmillennial and ethical distinctives, and the modern rebranding as “General Equity Theonomy.”

Dr. Brian Duncan graduated high school early and went straight into Baptist ministry training. On fire for Jesus, he was constantly seeking deeper resources to help him teach the faith, which led him to discover the Church Fathers. Teaching from them caused problems in his independent Baptist congregation, so he spent a little time in a Reformed Baptist church, which also didn't work out. Disillusioned, he sought a house church environment, at which point he realized it was time for him to stop trying to reinvent and reclaim the Christianity of the early Church; and what he'd been trying to rebuild on his own initiative was present in its fulness right in front of him in the Catholic Faith. He has since gone on to found Catholic Fightwear, and work as a martial arts instructor.

A Reformed Baptist is a Christian who believes in the great doctrines recovered by the Protestant Reformation, including the sufficiency of Scripture for the church, salvation by God's free grace, justification by faith alone, the importance of God's good law and the gospel of Jesus Christ, the centrality of the church in the life of the believer, and the great doctrine of Christian liberty. This book argues that Reformed Baptists are not particularly unique, but are simply biblical Christians who fall within the theological stream of the historic Reformed faith, and who are also baptistic in their doctrine of the church. This is not a polemical work. Rather, it makes a positive case for the doctrines cherished by Reformed Baptists. May this book benefit motivated laymen, broadly evangelical pastors, Baptist pastors, and Reformed paedobaptist pastors who want to understand what their Reformed Baptist brethren believe.

Can Baptists actually be Reformed? To answer that, we probably have to answer another question, “What does it mean to be Reformed in the first place? Is it a tradition, a specific set of beliefs, or something else entirely? There are a lot of online debates and discussions about whether Baptists can be Reformed or not. And while some of those debates are just good-natured ribbing between Presbyterians and Baptists, it's a subject worth thinking about seriously. When Baptists say they are “reformed” what do they mean, and are they correct? In one sense, the term “reformed” doesn't have only one definition or use. Words are like that, in the abstract, they can have multiple definitions. But when a specific word is actually used, such as to identify a group of Baptists, that use must have one specific meaning. So are Reformed Baptists really Reformed?In this episode, we want to talk about why Reformed Baptists are Reformed and what we mean by that. We discuss some of the history of the Protestant Reformation and how Reformed Baptists emerged as a group in the UK. We discuss some of the doctrines that are specific to being considered Reformed, and we also talk about the unifying spirit of the Reformation that existed well before Luther or Calvin and goes back to the leadership and direction of Christ and His Spirit.Listen to the audio version here: https://theconqueringtruth.com/2025/01/can-reformed-baptists-be-reformed-ep-202-audio/Timecodes00:00 What Does it Mean to Be Reformed? 17:36 Soteriology 28:42 Covenants 50:19 CredobaptismProduction of Reformation Baptist Church of Youngsville, NCPermanent Hosts - Dan Horn, Charles Churchill and Joshua HornTechnical Director - Timothy KaiserTheme Music - Gabriel Hudelson

Patrick delves into the intricate topic of excommunication within the Catholic Church. Responding to a listener's query, Patrick explains the nature of this canonical penalty, its purpose, and how it differentiates from sin.

(05:54) Anna (email) – How can I persuade my sister to reconsider getting married in the Catholic Church? (11:53) Michael - I think Judas was remorseful at the end and we don't know what God decided to do (23:28) Nick – I met with the elders of the Reformed Baptist church and talked to them about the living tabernacle and our Blessed Mother Carlos – Jumping on a grenade - The solider isn't thinking about dying, he is thinking about keeping his friends safe.
