We are pleased to make these new video sermons available from Miles DeBenedictis, pastor of Cross Connection Church.
The Reformation: Is It Still Relevant Today?
We contacted Christian apologist Thaddeus Williams (Ph.D., Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam; Theology Professor, Biola University) and asked him if Reformation thinking is still relevant today (498 years later). Here’s what he said: Is Reformation theology still relevant today? Absolutely! It reminds us that we have a big God and that salvation is found in Him alone. […]
The Incarnation and High Priestly Ministry of Jesus
“Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.” […]
Have a Theology Question?
Do you have a theology question? Perhaps you have a question about the doctrine of the Trinity? Or about the role of Satan? Or what the Bible says about heaven and hell? Or maybe you have a question related to the Bible and science? Blue Letter Bible has a special section dedicated to answering these […]
Biblical Doctrine: The Lifeblood of the Christian life
One of the greatest concerns that I have about modern evangelicalism is a tendency to be theological without being explicitly grounded in sound biblical doctrine. The word “doctrine” comes from the Greek word “”didaskolos” and means “teaching.” Doctrine helps Christians know who God is, what He has done, what the Trinity is, the deity of […]
Be Spent for the Gospel
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7 With these words the great Apostle Paul gives his last instructions to his beloved disciple Timothy. Paul had experienced an immense amount of persecution (2 Corinthians 11:23-27). In 2 Timothy 4:7, Paul summarizes his life as […]
5 Reasons We Should Gather in Local Churches
The belief that professing Christians should gather together as members of a local church is waning in many sectors of Christianity today. Some feel that faith should not be “institutionalized” and should be a private matter between individuals, not something to be experienced in community. Here are five reasons why I feel Christians should be […]
God Uses Ordinary People in Extraordinary Ways
God uses ordinary people in exordinary ways for His glory. At first it may seem that that statement isn’t quite right and you may not believe it. After all aren’t only “super Christians” used by God?” You may be thinking, “I’m just a lay person what can God do with you?” Rather than thinking in […]
The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit
The grace of God is as high as the heavens and as deep as the oceans. No one knew that better than John Newton, a man saved by the radical grace of God. A former slave owner, Newton became one of the leading voices and preachers of his day. Even today his works are still […]
The Work and Person of the Holy Spirit in the Gospel of John
The Synoptic Gospels have little to say when considering the person and work of the Holy Spirit. In the Fourth Gospel, the Evangelist spends three chapters (John 14-16) teaching on the Holy Spirit’s role in the life of the believer. The Gospel of John may be criticized on its structure and genre, but it is […]
