Sermons & episodes14
- Practicing WitnessDr. John Frame discusses our witness and the missional identity of the church. How do we practice theological education? What have Lesslie Newbigin and Harvie Conn contributed to this dialog? And, at a time when our civil discourse has become less civil, why is the gospel, and not just natural law, so vital to the church's public witness and theology? This concludes Season 1. Jul 18, 2018 14:204 the WorldGuest
- Practicing WorshipWhat is the "regulative principle" of worship and how do we make good use of it? How do we evaluate the role of music and the use of instruments in corporate worship? What Scriptural limits and freedoms should we be observing regarding the service of gifted women and non-ordained men in public worship? Join us as we consider these and other worship-related questions with Dr. John Frame. Jul 11, 2018 12:034 the WorldGuest
- Practicing EthicsWhere do we find the strength and help to do God's will? Dr. John Frame discusses the important role a community of Spirit-filled, Spirit-gifted believers has in helping us grow in righteousness. We touch on questions relevant to today. For instance, how do we develop a set of ethical criteria for distributing and paying for health care? Jul 4, 2018 12:014 the WorldGuest
- Practicing TheologyIs theology only an academic discipline, or are all Christians called to doing theology as we apply the Scriptures to our lives? Dr. John Frame challenges us to consider that we can only truly know ourselves if we understand and know God, that is, if we do theology well. Jun 27, 2018 13:054 the WorldGuest
