Contemporary Issues - Rapture, End-Times, Disengaging from the World - Optimistic Eschatology

We hold to many assumptions about what where things are going and how the end comes. Ideas like a secret rapture, 7-year tribulation, Christians becoming fewer and fewer, being the last generation, etc. Tyler challenges the classes' assumptions and puts forward a view of the progress of history which has deep roots in the church and comes from the authors of Scripture: an optimistic eschatology.

Ep. 25 - People or Preaching?

Circling back to our The Kingdom-Builder series to ask about what our emphasis is, and, perhaps should be, upon.  Each one of us naturally prioritizes either the community of the church or its preaching. We talk about the implications of this dichotomy and recommend how we can grow in our attitudes and actions to becoming productive citizens of God's City.    Website: https://www.podpage.com/city-of-the-great-king/ [https://www.podpage.com/city-of-the-great-king/] Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/CGKPodcast?fan_landing=true

Contemporary Issues - CRT, Intersectionality, Woke Gospel: Basic Hermeneutics

Critical Theory and Intersectionality have become common terms in our modern lexicon and its ideas have spread into the Church. What is all this? How should it influence the way I interpret the Bible and understand my neighbour?    Our Sunday School class considers the million-dollar question: Is this movement/philosophy an idea or a worldview?    Part 3 of the Contemporary Issues series.

Ep. 24 - The Reformation of Worship: Positive Liturgical Reforms (Part 3)

Finishing our short series on reforming worship. Today we discuss a few positive reforms to our liturgy which would align us with what is objectively happening - covenant renewal. Some of the changes, we believe, would greatly uplift our spiritual and emotional maturity, and even lead to fewer pastoral counseling situations to develop.  In the end, when we worship rightly, we will be equipped to point our nation rightly.    Website: https://www.podpage.com/city-of-the-great-king/ [https://www.podpage.com/city-of-the-great-king/] Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/CGKPodcast?fan_landing=true
