In this video, I will do a review of the LSB Bible translation. I will consider its strengths, weaknesses, and unique contributions.

In this video, I will share with you the best and the worst that Presbyterian denominations have to offer. Of course, this consists only of 1) my opinions and 2) a little bit of fun.

In this interview with Ben Zeisloft, we will look at the difference and overlap between the Pro-Life position and the abortion abolition position.

In this sermon, we cover Daniel 11, one of the most obscure passages of Biblical prophecy to modern readers. Fortunately, it is perhaps a bit easier to interpret than it seems at first blush: this text covers the period of time between the Testaments when pagan nations vie for power and glory over the Holy Land. In this sermon, we look at a few important details as well as consider how this text is theologically important to Christians today.

In this video, we look at the history of the catechism. The word itself is the basic NT word that means instruction. Early on, Christians began to develop ways to instruct and prepare people for baptism and the Lord's Supper. This kind of teaching came to its fullest form in the Reformed catechisms of the 15 and 1600s.

In this episode, we continue our sermon series through the book of Daniel. Today we continue the events in which Daniel meets a supernatural visitor, possibly a Christophany or pre-incarnate appearance of Jesus Christ. Though Daniel is initially struck down by the glory of the messenger, he is incrementally strengthened as the visitor touches him three times and repeatedly calls him "greatly beloved."

In this video, I cover a few items that are more personal. I detail my struggle with Lyme disease, my recent and very public panic attack, and some thoughts on my new book.

In this sermon, we have an incredible encounter between Daniel and a Supernatural Visitor. Some say this person is Gabriel, others that he is an angel, and still others that this is a pre-incarnate appearance of Jesus Christ, or a Christophany. Either way, Daniel is thrown to the ground and his life is changed forever with this encounter.

In this lecture originally given at the 2024 RPTS Westminster Conference and then reprised here as a Sunday School lesson at Gospel Fellowship PCA, we cover the doctrine of the infinity of God as well as the finitude of man. Here we take special note of the theology of Petrus Van Mastricht (or PVM) who helps us to comprehend both the doctrine and applications of these concepts.

In this discussion, I take my listeners through a tier list of some of the best devotional content available for daily reading.

In this video, I discuss my top dead (well mostly dead) influences that have shaped my thinking over the years. I hope you are blessed by my walk through the writers and thinkers that have most influenced my ministry and theology!

In this episode, we will discuss the recent removal of Steven J. Lawson from his position at Trinity Bible Church in Dallas as wall as Ligonier Ministries.

In this episode, we continue our verse-by-verse sermon series through the book of Daniel. Here, we come to Daniel 9:1-19, where the prophet prays for forgiveness and mercy for the people of God. Daniel "turns his face to the Lord," and begs God for covenant mercies. Having read the prophecy of Jeremiah 25:8-14, Daniel is now assured that the Exile is coming to an end after seventy years. In this sermon, we define prayer, look to the One to whom prayer is addressed, and then identify some of its characteristics. We conclude with three things that prayer is not.

In this sermon, Paul continues to discuss the "Jewish Problem" that not many are coming to Christ, at least compared to the Gentiles. Here, he shows how we ought not to get discouraged, as Elijah once grew discouraged in the time of Ahab. Rather, the Lord is always preserving for Himself a remnant chosen by grace!

We continue our expository series through the book of Daniel as we come to the Little Horn text of Daniel 8. The prophet has seen a vision of a ram attacked by a goat, and Greece is prophesied to defeat Persia. But something more sinister lurks. After the Greek Kingdom itself is divided into four parts, Antiochus IV Epiphanes attacks the Temple and blasphemes the sacred worship of God.

In this sermon, we continue our series in the book of Daniel. We come today to the mysterious vision of the ram and the goat. Daniel foresees the changing of the guard from Persia to Greece in a vision, but we take the time to consider several different understandings of divine sovereignty including open theism, middle knowledge, and Reformed providence.

In today's text, Daniel asks for help in interpreting the visions that he has seen of the beasts, the Ancient of Days, and the Son of Man receiving authority. An angelic helper gives him interpretation, but it is not as soothing as Daniel might have hoped, and both threats and some comforts are present.

In this sermon, we continue our expository series through the book of Daniel. Here, we come to the epochal vision of the "Son of Man" who is given authority over all the nations.

In this sermon, I very honestly discuss my recent panic/spiritual attack that I experienced, and try to place it in the comfort of the help of looking to a greater God on the throneroom.

In this episode, we continue our journey through the book of Daniel. Here, we consider the four strange beasts described in Daniel 7:1-8 emerging out of the sea.

Today in this second part, we continue the saga of Daniel and the Lion's Den. Here, we take a look at Daniel's defiant prayer in 6:10. His prayer out the window towards Jerusalem is simultaneously a prayer of obedience to God and an overt act of rebellion against the pagan state. Daniel is willing to risk everything to be entirely compliant to God as over against the unbelieving powers that be.

Today, we begin one of the most iconic passages in all of Scripture. Daniel in the Lions' Den. Here, we must guard ourselves against the danger of familiarity, that we already know all that the Lord will speak to us through this text. In fact, this text speaks powerfully about Daniel's character, the power of the Holy Spirit, the danger of envy and political power, and the encroachment of tyranny.

In this episode, we consider the history of the Scottish Covenanters, the Presbyterian martyrs. In this 40-minute lecture, I will provide you with their history, their theological convictions, their sufferings under times of persecution, and their unique perspective on civil government.

In this episode, we consider the end of the saga of Nebuchadnezzar. To this point, it has not been clear if the Babylonian King is truly converted. In this message from the end of chapter four, we try to make some summary observations about the assurance of grace.

In this video, I will go over what we mean by "Reformed" worship. We will consider what worship services look like that are governed by the Regulative Principle of Worship (or RPW).

In this sermon, we consider the "chopping down" of Nebuchadnezzar's pride by the severe mercies of God. The Lord has many sharp axes at His disposal and He will use them to destroy the pride of men. Here, we continue to marvel at what the Lord did to bring the King of Babylon to submission.

In this episode, we continue our sermon series through the book of Daniel. Here we encounter the evil King's second dream in which he views himself as a gigantic tree displaying his poisonous characteristic of pride.

In this message, we continue our series in the book of Daniel. Today we come to the very brink of the Fiery Furnace as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego are asked to testify as to whether or not they will worship the golden idol.

In this message, we look at Nebuchadnezzar's construction of a huge golden idol, which ostensibly represents himself in his narcissistic glory. We consider the nature of idols, how they are windows into our own souls, unfortunately, and how we can abolish them in preference for a greater glory.

In this sermon, we continue our expository series through the book of Daniel. Here, Nebuchadnezzar shows what appears to be some evidence of saving grace; but I argue the opposite, that the Tyrant King was not yet savingly wrought upon by God's grace. We consider five operations that are not saving; and three that are.

In this episode, we continue our work in the book of Daniel. Here the intrepid prophet interprets the dream of the arrogant, megalomaniac Nebuchadnezzar. This passage is one of the most theologically significant texts in the book of Daniel, and establishes a strong prophecy related to the coming of the Kingdom of Messiah.

In this episode, I share a Sunday School class recently taught at Gospel Fellowship PCA on the Didache, the oldest known Christian writing outside the New Testament.

In this episode, we continue our exposition of the book of Daniel with the first part of Nebuchadnezzar's dream. Here, we see what kind of tyrant he actually is. After assessing his character, we make some general conclusions, and apply the text by looking deeply into our own hearts.

In this sermon, we continue our new study of the book of Daniel. Here, Daniel must resist assimilation into the pagan culture by resolving in the heart, resisting outward conformity, and renewing the mind with divine truth.

We are starting a new series today, as we begin our 31-week expository series through the book of Daniel. Here we will give some background to this book, some historical context with the Exile, and discuss the brainwashing assimilation program of the pagan nation of Babylon.

In this video, I will cover how it is that we can find and learn from a dead mentor, one who has come and gone before us, leaving us a legacy that we can follow.

This is my Resurrection Day sermon from Matthew 27:52-53. Here we consider an unusual passage in Matthew's Gospel where the author seems to suggest that many saints rose from their graves at or shortly after Jesus died. How can this be? In this sermon we explore this most unusual text.

Today we complete our series in the Book of Revelation. We cover the last verse, Revelation 22:21, and then point out seven major themes in the book, touching upon all of the major events and motifs in the book. With this sermon, we consider our long series concluded! What an adventure to preach through this whole book!

This episode is the very last expository sermon in our long series on Revelation, with the exception of next week's sermon which will conclude our study of the Apocalypse with an over-arching review of the whole book. Today, we look at the invitation to come to Jesus, the warning to neither add or take away from the Word of God, and the promise that Jesus is going to return soon.

In this sermon, we consider Revelation 22:14-16. We see the joy of the elect, the scorn of the reprobate, and the glory of the redeemer. Here, Jesus is called both the Root of David and the Bright Morning Star.

In this video, we consider the life of Sarah Edwards (nee: Pierpont) the wife of Jonathan Edwards. We consider how they met, how they fell in love, their eleven children, and their ministry together. Over many years of marriage, Jonathan and Sarah Edwards were faithful to one another, and lived a model and example Christian marriage for all. Sarah had her own religious experiences in the heart of the Great Awakening, and they both rejoiced and suffered together as a married couple. They both died somewhat tragically in the 1757-1758.

In this episode, we begin the epilogue to the book of Revelation. The epilogue to the book contains a three-fold repetition of the phrase, "Behold I am coming soon!" and elicits faith and obedience from the audience. The voice that John hears bids him to regard the "trustworthy and true" words of the prophecy.

In this sermon, we continue the book of Revelation as we enter the final chapter. Today we look at 22:1-5, concentrating on the Tree of Life. In fact, we will consider the "tree trees" of the Gospel; the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the cross of Calvary, and the Tree of Life.

Today we complete the penultimate chapter in the Book of Revelation as we consider four discontinuities between this world and the next; namely, that there will be no temple, no need of the sun, no closed gates, and no unclean thing in Heaven.

In this episode, we step away from our Revelation series for just a moment as we consider civil affairs. In this lesson from a recent Sunday School lesson at Gospel Fellowship PCA, we look at Francis Schaeffer's theology of resisting tyrants. This comes from chapters seven and eight of his 1981 book A Christian Manifesto.

In this video, we continue our slow march through the book of Revelation. Today we come to 21:9-14. Here we have described the glories of Heaven and the gates into the New Jerusalem.

In this video, I will be having an in-depth interview conversation with a Presbyterian elder who tells the story of his NDE, or Near Death Experience. It's a great story that you will want to hear!

In this episode, we continue our long exposition through the book of Revelation. Today we come to Revelation 21:5-8 where John hears a voice from the throne. He hears both an encouragement and a warning.

After a brief break for Christmas and the holidays, we are back working through Revelation. We now come to chapters 21 and 22 in which we begin to see glimpses of the indescribable - Heaven itself in the vision and inspired words of John. Come study the Bible with us as we work through the conclusion of this book!

In this sermon, we take up an important doctrine of the Christian faith; so important that our faith stands or falls upon this event. Here we are talking about the Virgin Birth, specifically the scene of the Annunciation, often depicted with such sublime care in Western Art.
