    Denominations part 13 - The History of Pentecostalism part 1

    In this episode we look at the history of Pentecostalism, the origins and roots of the movement. From Wesleyan and Holiness theology to Topeka Kansas and Azusa Street. We look at some of the key figures of the early years. All the way up to the Oneness anti-Trinitarian controversy and the forming of the Assemblies of God. In part two of the history we will look at the latter half of the 20th century and the Post-WWII evolution of Pentecostalism up to our modern day. And in part 3 we will look at specific denominations and what they believe and what makes them distinct from one another.

    Good Fruit: What is the Word of God? - 059

    What is the Word of God? Is it the red letters in the Gospels and Revelation? Is it the totality of the Bible? Can it be when you share the Gospel with someone? Or when the pastor preaches?

    Did This Sermon Miss the Point of James 2? - 058

    This week Judah and Jonathan review a sermon from our local megachurch. The sermon is over the first verse of James chapter two. The pastor adds in his own governing context to the verse that isn't there. And turns the verse into being about racism and prejudice instead of the actual context of the sin of partiality and showing favoritism towards the rich.

    When Caesar Steals the Lord’s Prayer - 057

    In this episode of Bad Fruit, Jonathan walks through the Lord’s Prayer petition by petition using Luther’s Small Catechism, the doctrine of the Two Kingdoms, and the distinction between the two kinds of righteousness. What happens when Christ’s own prayer is recited over images of bombs, soldiers, flags, and military power? Can Christians pray for soldiers and rulers? Absolutely. But what happens when the state takes the church’s prayer and turns it into propaganda? This episode explores the theological difference between prayer and political liturgy, between vocation and civil religion, and between the kingdom of God and the kingdoms of this world. Along the way, Jonathan reflects on recent uses of Easter imagery, divine sanction, and messianic political rhetoric surrounding the conflict with Iran, asking how Christians can remain clear-headed when sacred language is used to sanctify national power. This is not an attack on military vocation or patriotism. It is a confessional Lutheran meditation on why the Lord’s Prayer belongs to the baptized, not to Caesar.
