We look at one of the great doctrines of the Reformation, Sola Scriptura, as we continue our series through the 1689 and look at chapter 1, paragraph 1, Of The Holy Scriptures. We talk about natural revelation and special revelation, can we trust our Bibles, and why the Bible is so necessary.

We begin our series through the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith (or the 1689) by looking at the introduction. Why was this written and what use does it have in the church? Is it helpful to have a confession of faith like this in a place like Utah?

Many believers make new plans around the new year to read the Bible more or read the whole Bible in a year. How should we think about personal Bible reading? What are the benefits? Are there any dangers we should look out for? We also discuss some of our plans for the podcast in 2025.

What makes a church plant into a church? There's a theological aspect to this question (and we address that) but also a practical one in terms of maturity. In this episode we look back on the year that was and rejoice in the ways God has worked in us and in our church.

We continue our short Advent series through some of our favorite hymns and their rich gospel theology by looking at Hark the Herald Angels sing. Some of the major themes include God's reconciliation of sinners to himself, what it means that Jesus veiled his divinity (and what it doesn't mean), and the often forgotten fourth verse.

This Advent season Ben and Darren discuss some of their favorite hymns and the depth of gospel truths each one has. This week we look at Joy to the World and discuss why we can be joyful even when life often isn't and what Jesus came to do.

By popular demand! Ben and Darren discuss the most requested topic for the podcast, the fig trees in the gospels. This may seem like an obscure topic to discuss but it is rich with biblical imagery and the glory of the gospel in the New Covenant. Listen in as we explore the vast riches Scripture has to offer in even the smallest details.

In light of the recent election, Ben and Darren discuss how we as Christians should respond and what our hope is. They discuss the nature of the two kingdoms we live in and what our mission should be and why the mission of the church must be protected.
