1. The doctrine of election is a doctrine of comfort for all who believe . . . that means it’s for you! Romans 9 is all about the nature of God, and His very nature is to be merciful to the Jew and the Gentile, for the unbeliever and the believer alike. We understand election rightly when our faith looks not at itself, but to Christ.
  2. We’d like to say that Craig and Troy wrestle with the teaching of election, but actually, it’s no struggle at all. The promises of God are freely given to all in Christ, and the elect are those who are in Him. He alone is our security.
  3. Romans 7 is a pivotal chapter in the New Testament. The Apostle Paul laments that he keeps doing the sinful things that he hates and the good things that wants to do, he doesn't. Then we discover that the more godly one is, the less one sees oneself to be godly. Funny how that works. Join Craig and Troy as they talk about all of these topics and more.
  4. Romans 6 and into 7: We find that God works salvation in mankind by way of gift and not by works. What does it mean to be set free from sin and being a slave to God? Is that a good thing to be a slave and what does it mean to be set free into slavery? God works salvation in us, it is not our doing for the free gift of God is salvation, for sinners. Join Craig and Troy as they talk about all of these topics and more.
  5. Romans 6 continued... BAPTISM! The Apostle Paul continues to talk about life in Christ and forgiveness and mercy. - Is baptism more than just a symbol or a Christian ritual? - Who is at work in baptism, God or man? - Who chooses whom in salvation? - Do you choose God or has God chosen you? Join Craig and Troy as they talk about all of these topics and more.
  6. Cheap Grace? "What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?" - What is "Sanctification" really all about? - How does Baptism relate to our justification and our Sanctification? Join Craig and Troy as they talk about all of these topics and more.
  7. Daniel and Erick begin 2 Peter in this episode. They spend some time discussing some of the controversy around this book and how to engage with it.
  8. Peter says that Christ is the cornerstone and we are living stones being built into a house. Is everyone in that house a priest?
  9. What is the Gospel and what is its purpose? Troy and Craig take on this topic in brief and they explain why this is important for every Christian to understand.
  10. Wade and Mike sit down in the studio to discuss Philip K. Dick’s article How to Build a Universe That Doesn’t Fall Apart Two Days Later.
  11. Dear Rome... Yeah, It’s Probably For The Best That We Never See Each Other Again. This week, Gillespie and Riley read and discuss Ulrich Zwingli’s 67 Theses defending the theological reforms in Zurich. Zwingli is provocative, sometimes hyperbolic, but driven by a zeal for the reformation doctrine of Christ alone for the salvation of sinners apart from their works.
