Class #52: Law and Gospel

Pr. Jared Stillions of St. Peter in Hallettsville, TX joins me to look at a key concept that Christians must get right to understand the scriptures: Law and Gospel. What are they, how do we often confuse them, and how to we rightly distinguish between them?

In our final video for the series, we look at what Christian theology has to say about the role of government and what good government might look like. Beyond "red" or "blue", what are the underlying principles that all Christians should apply to any question of government?

In this third of a four-part series on social and moral issues, we take a look at economics. What should the Christian view of free or controlled markets be? Why does it matter? Thanks again to Taylor Neill of Search for joining me.

Thanks again to Pastor Michael Salemink from Lutherans for Life for joining me to talk about a difficult subject. This is the second of a four-part series on application of Christian moral theology. Abortion is a reality in our land and the greatest moral evil of our day. We talk about what it is exactly, why it is wrong, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the wake of abortion.

Pastor Michael Salemink of Lutherans for Life  joins me to look at the gift of marriage. This video kicks off a concluding four-video series that considers social and ethical questions that are applications of Christian conviction.

A quick look at important letters in the New Testament not written by Paul.

This video continues to look at Paul's letters, specifically Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Timothy.  

This video is a very quick look at a handful of Saint Paul's letters. We look quickly at the main themes of Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, and Thessalonians.

Saint Paul's letters comprise almost half of the New Testament and his conversion to being a follower of Christ is nothing short of remarkable. We get an introduction to Paul and we will follow this video up with two videos summarizing the most important teachings in his letters.  

This class looks at the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost and the ongoing role of the Spirit in the life of believers. We touch on some of the controversial aspects as well like speaking in tongues and other so-called Spiritual Gifts.
