Broadcast Monday, March 18, 2024

Presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma
Broadcast Monday, March 11, 2024

Presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma

Still Small Voice?
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz
Broadcast Monday, December 4, 2023
We examine the "still small voice" passage to see if it indicates that believers ought to expect to hear from God in this way. Exodus 19 and 1Kings 19 both describe a theophany and end with God speaking audibly, not through metaphysical impressions.
MP3 (duration 00:15:52)

Our National Myth
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz
Broadcast Monday, November 27, 2023
2Chron 7:14 is often wrongly applied to America. We show that the USA has no covenant with God, and that this verse only ever applied to old covenant Israel. In Scripture it is God who makes covenants with man, not man with God.

The Anointing and the Christian, Part 2 - All True Believers Have an Anointing
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz
Broadcast Monday, July 10, 2023
Christ is the Anointed One. Antichrists claim an anointing that didn't come from Christ. One cannot gain more anointing by attending meetings or seminars put on by these antichrists. All true believers are anointed. We must stand firm on Scripture alone.

Presented by Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz
Broadcast Monday, April 11, 2022

Presented by Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz
Broadcast Monday, March 21, 2022

The Priesthood of Every Believer, Part 11 - The Unbiblical Sacrifice of the Mass
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz
Broadcast Monday, March 14, 2022
We show that the Catholic mass isn't found in Scripture. It's a sacrifice that God never ordained. The mass is powerless to sanctify believers. As believers we can rest in the once-for-all sacrifice for sins that we have in Christ.

Presented by Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz
Broadcast Monday, March 7, 2022

Presented by Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz

The Priesthood of Every Believer, Part 7 - Remembering His Death Until He Comes
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz
Broadcast Monday, February 14, 2022

Presented by Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz
Broadcast Monday, February 7, 2022
The Lord's Supper is for all believers and all Christians are equal at the Lord's Table. Nowhere in the New Testament does it claim that one must be a church authority to administer the Lord's Supper. We are simply commanded to "do this."

The Priesthood of Every Believer, Part 5 - To Baptize
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz
Broadcast Monday, January 24, 2022

Presented by Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz
Broadcast Monday, January 3, 2022

Presented by Eric Douma
Broadcast Monday, November 8, 2021

Greater Works than These, Part 1 - God Works Miracles
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz

Infant Baptism and the Institutional Church, Part 2
Presented by Bob DeWaay
Broadcast Monday, September 28, 2020
Infant baptism leads to an institutional Christianity that often has no gospel and no life of the Holy Spirit. They often hold to the same pagan teachings as the world. The true church is a living organism with Christ as the head.
MP3 (duration 00:25:49)

Infant Baptism and the Institutional Church, Part 1
Presented by Bob DeWaay
Broadcast Monday, September 21, 2020
Acts 16:15 is the main proof text used to justify infant baptism. As we address each case of baptism in Acts, we find that it is always believers who are baptized. There is never an example of baptizing an infant or person who has not turned to Christ.

Solitude, Silence, and Stillness Part 1 - Useless and Harmful Mystical Solitude
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz

The Building of God, Part 2: Ephesians 2:21b-22
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma
Broadcast Monday, December 9, 2019

Presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma

The Glory of God Alone, Part 2
Presented by Bob DeWaay, Eric Douma, and Andy Olson
Broadcast Monday, February 18, 2019
This discussion continues by explaining why monergistic salvation is a necessary corollary of the glory of God alone. However small man's part is deemed to be, no salvation happens without it. Therefore God does not get all of the glory...

The Glory of God Alone, Part 1
Presented by Bob DeWaay, Eric Douma, and Andy Olson
Broadcast Monday, February 11, 2019

Use and Misuse of the Law, Part 2
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma
Broadcast Monday, February 4, 2019
1Timothy 1:9-11 says that the law is for the wicked and disobedient. In this section Paul discusses the "lawful" use of the law of Moses which is to restrain wickedness. This calls into question John Calvin's claim that there is a third use of the law...

Toxic Devotion Part 2 - Mysticism Replaces God's Promises
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma
Broadcast Monday, June 11, 2018

Toxic Devotion Part 1 - Sarah Young's False Categories
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma
Broadcast Monday, June 4, 2018

Calamities and God's Judgment, Part 1
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel
Broadcast Monday, September 11, 2017
When calamities happen people wonder if it is God's judgment. Since there are no authoritative prophets today we can only know what the Bible tells us. What Jesus said about people who died in similar incidents was "Unless you repent you shall all likewise perish." We need to believe on Christ for salvation.

No Third Option: Two-Domain Theology, Part 2
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma
Broadcast Monday, April 24, 2017
