In this episode we redefine sanctification, arguing that instead of reducing sins and increasing good deeds, it is instead our ongoing salvation from the way of the world through the faith of Christ we received by believing the gospel.
Jesus did not merely appear to be a human — a view of Jesus many Christians implicitly hold. No, he had to be fully human in order to live by faith and thus become the “pioneer and perfecter of faith” that the New Testament says he is for us.
Today as we begin our series on Simple Church (not house church, not a traditional church, but a simple church), Nathan makes the case for doing away with the “General Fund” in church organizational structure.
In “Branches on an Ancient Tree”, Kent and Nathan discuss the idea of predestination. Is there a way to understand the biblical notion of predestination that does not undermine other biblical notions of choice and responsibility?
