Soli Deo Gloria (with Greg Wilbur)

Today Pastor Nate is joined by Greg Wilbur in order to discuss his new book: Soli Deo Gloria: The Life & Legacy of Johann Sebastian Bach. Nate explores how Bach shaped Greg Wilbur's own understanding of the role of church musician along with some distinctives of originality, craftsmanship and the importance of having music intentionally written for the worship of the church. This conversation and book will help to show how Christians of all trades—from musicians to plumbers—can do all things to the glory of God alone.

The Grace of Christian Fellowship

Today Pastor Nate reflects on the ways that God pours out His grace through what we call Christian fellowship. This means of grace is more than just social time or chitchatting but is grounded in our fellowship with the Father. Ultimately, we see that our life is bound up together with God's people because we are all bound up together in Christ.

Responding to a question that he has received many times, Pastor Nate begins a two-part series on the topic of burial, cremation, and what to do at the end of this earthly life. Before we are able to properly address the thorny practical matters of this topic, Pastor Nate begins by laying the theological foundations, drawing from Scripture as well as from the Westminster Shorter Catechism question 37.
