Calvinism - Part 1

Christian Liberty

In the last week of this class, we will be covering Christian liberty and liberty of conscience. We will see how God has brought about our freedom through his life, death, and resurrection, and freed us from the commandments and doctrines of men.

Regulative Principal of Worship

This Sunday School class explores the Regulative Principle of Worship, showing how Scripture, not human creativity, governs every element of corporate worship. It traces the principle through the Old and New Covenants, explains the difference between elements, forms, and circumstances, and highlights how Word‑centered worship protects Christian liberty. The class ultimately demonstrates how adhering to God‑prescribed worship guards the church from error and anchors it in the ordinary means of grace.

Baptistic Congregational Government

Baptists have distinct beliefs about the nature of the church and how it ought to function accordingly. How then should Baptistic churches think about the authority, government, and leadership in the local church?

Baptism and the Lord's Supper

Consistency is key! If we confess that the Covenant of Grace forms and gathers a regenerate covenant people, then our practice of baptism and the Lord's Supper — the ordinances given to the church — must reflect that beautiful reality.

Regenerate Church Membership and Church Discipline

Contrary to popular belief, the core element of Baptist identity is not a position on the mode and timing of baptism. It is a position on the nature of the church itself as Christ's new covenant people. This week we explore that position through its application in both regenerate church membership and church discipline.
