Redeemed by Christ

October 31, 2021 / fortheking / Leave a comment

Jesus has has done so many things by spilling his blood for us on the cross. Among those is that of redemption. Redeeming something entails paying a ransom to restore something to yourself but also at a cost to yourself, not because the thing is inherently worth it. There is an element of worth in the transaction but to God we are by no means worthy of the death of his son. It ought to humble ourselves into subjection to him.

Key Texts: Ephesians 1:7 ; Psalm 8

Book Review: A Magnificent Catastrophe by Edward J. Larson

October 30, 2021 / fortheking / Leave a comment

I am not including this book review in my monthly book review episode because there is far too much to interact with. To do this book justice I needed to create a longer episode exposing some of the helpful things it gets into. I hope you learn something and walk away with some thoughts whether you agree or not!

The Centrality of the Gospel

October 30, 2021 / fortheking / Leave a comment

This Sunday Bryce and I walk through the Gospel, the doctrine of first importance to the Christian. We must get the Gospel and we must believe in that correct Gospel to be saved, for no other gospel has the power to save! Thanks for listening and tuning in to the For The King podcast!

“This is why Paul upholds the teaching of the gospel in such a forceful way … Seeing such an example and such a picture of man’s great weakness and fickleness, Paul states that the truth of the gospel must supersede anything that we may devise … he is showing us that we ought to know the substance of the doctrine which is brought to us in the name of God, so that our faith can be fully grounded upon it. Then we will not be tossed about with every wind, nor will we wander about aimlessly, changing our opinions a hundred times a day; we will persist in this doctrine until the end. This, in brief, is what we must remember.”
― John Calvin, Sermons on Galatians

Key Texts: Romans 1: 1-4, 16 ; 1 Corinthians 15: 1-4

My guest joining me this week on the Sunday series is my brother Bryce. Bryce is getting his undergraduate degree in philosophy and hopes to get his MDiv. from a seminary after he completes his undergrad. He hopes to be a pastor shepherding Gods people one day.

Masculinity & Femininity Everywhere Else

October 10, 2021 / fortheking / Leave a comment

This Sunday we finish our series on Biblical Gender Roles. We have seen how gender roles apply in homes and churches, but to keep ourselves consistent with what scripture teaches, we must extend its application to the civil sphere and beyond as well. God has designed the world a certain way. Gods word, logic, reasoning, mathematics, etc. are all used in God’s world. They help guide us and are used in every walk of life. Thus, is it no different for gender roles, they apply in all scenarios. Thanks for listening and enjoy!

Key Texts: Isaiah 3:12; Deuteronomy 22:5; Nahum 3:13

A random upload, but this is my brother Bryce and exceptions are always made for him! Also, I touched up the intro some and that is the intro I will use from now on, I hope you enjoy it! Bryce teaches on repentance in this audio. He taught this to high schoolers at our church and I thought I would upload it as well to edify you guys. I hope it encourages you all!

Analysis of First Wave Feminism

October 3, 2021 / fortheking / Leave a comment

Bryce has abandoned me to the pit. I will rouse myself and hold fast to the LORD in this trial, he will help me to fly SOLO this week on the For The King podcast. We have been slowly walking through a biblical worldview when considering gender roles. This week I use Zach Garris’ book as a resource to quote a few feminist from he 1st wave in the 1850’s. They knew what the bible CLEARLY taught about biblical gender roles and by golly did they hate it. I labor to expose you all to what they said about biblical principles and analyze what has caused them to say such things. Lets not let the feminist understand what the bible clearly teaches about the patriarchy be more robust and accurate than ours… *ahem* egalitarians/complementarians *ahem*.
