Sacred City Life Podcast

We have made it to a new chapter of the WCF, and it's all about CREATION! This first article was a big one. Let's dive in together and grow as theologians.

Let's wrap up Chapter 3 on God's Eternal Decree!

We're back with more theology for you from the Westminster Confession!

In this concluding episode from Bob Thune's lecture on "The Mission of God & The Modern Self", we look at the 5th and final category in which the modern self can often find its identity in - the "Mediated Self", as well some concluding paradigms through which we might apply what we've learned about these 5 versions of the self.

Continuing on in our episodes from Bob Thune's lecture on "The Mission of God & The Modern Self", we look at the 4th of 5 categories in which the modern self can often find its identity in - the "Consuming Self".

Continuing on in our episodes from Bob Thune's lecture on "The Mission of God & The Modern Self", we look at the 3rd of 5 categories in which the modern self can often find its identity in - the "Plastic Self".

Continuing on in our episodes from Bob Thune's lecture on "The Mission of God & The Modern Self", we look at the 2nd of 5 categories in which the modern self can often find its identity in - the "Buffered Self".

In this next part of Bob Thune's seminar "The Mission of God & The Modern Self", he begins to break down 5 key versions of identity the modern self takes on. We will break down all 5 in individual episodes, begin with in this episode with "The Psychological Self".

Over the next several episodes, we will be releasing a seminar by Pastor Bob Thune in which he helps us dissect how we might better live on mission as we encounter individuals who have a modern interpretation of identity and of "the self".

Pastor Bob Thune of Coram Deo Church in Omaha, NE was in town to lecture at our Porterbrook seminar day on the topic of "The Mission of God and The Modern Self". We will release that audio in the days to come as well, but this episode will hit more particularly on the topic of Transgenderism in light of the way the modern person thinks of the self. This is an important and ever increasing issue of our culture that we need to have a grasp on as Christians seeking to live on mission in our cities.

Predestination. Sovereign Election. Foreordination. We've got some big ticket theological items to tackle in this 3rd chapter of the Westminster Confession. Let's break them down together!

Planting churches that plant churches is a key piece of the mission and vision of Sacred City. On that journey, we get to partner with other churches who share that same vision. Pastor Corey Johnston and Heights Community have been one of those churches for many years now, and in this episode we sit down with him to talk about his life and the importance of church planting.

In yet another new segment of the podcast, Pastor Justin goes "beyond the sermon" and answers your lingering questions about last Sunday's sermon on divorce from our series in the Sermon of The Mount.

Pastor Justin takes things beyond the sermon in this episode, and answers some lingering questions after last weeks sermon on sex, adultery, and lust.

We are moving right along through the WCF! We now approach the subject of God's eternal decree, His power, sovereignty, and ordination of all things that come to pass. This is a big one!

The doctrine of the Trinity is a deep and difficult thing to comprehend. We're just barely wading into the ocean of that topic on this episode. So, come on in, the water is fine! Link to helpful diagram of the Trinity: https://bit.ly/3liSoqV

Everyone is a theologian, and we want to help each other become better ones! So wherever you find yourself, wether your cleaning, running, driving, or simply enjoying some free time, we pray these theological conversations can stir your heart and mind to worship. Let's get after this next article in the Westminster Confession of Faith.

Chapter to of the WCF comes out guns blazing! God is infinite, immutable, invisible, most holy, gracious, just, etc. This first article gives us a big old bite of theological steak to sink our teeth in. Let's get after it!

We are rounding out the rest of Chapter 1 of the WCF today! We hope this section of the Holy Scriptures has been helpful to you and drawn you into the perfect Word of God and the wonder that it is.

We're continuing to plug away at the Westminster Confession of Faith, digging deep into the Bible - the Holy Scriptures - and what exactly this amazing collection of books is, how it came to be, what it gives us, shows us, and teaches us, etc... Woo! It surely is deep, so let's dive in!
