Mid-America Reformed Seminary Unknown

Amidst the tumultuous times we've found ourselves in, turning to our Lord and Savior is really the only shelter in the storm. We hope that's where your ultimate focus has been- not only in this past Christmas season, but as we look forward to tomorrow, a new year, 2021. Although Christmas has passed, Old Testament Professors Andrew Compton and Mark Vander Hart reflect once more on the coming Christ as found in the gospel of Luke, particularly the songs of Mary, Zechariah, and Simeon, and offer some reflections as we enter this new year.

In our advent series, Old Testament Professors Andrew Compton and Mark Vander Hart spoke last week on the coming Savior in Genesis. Now they turn their attention to Isaiah and the Prophets.

Listen to the first ever broadcast of Officeology, an audio update on the life of Mid-America - from a -business office- perspective. In this edition, Vice-President of Advancement, Michael Deckinga, introduces the new program and highlights the Seminary's financial situation, especially as the year draws to a close.

Next week is Christmas, and we find ourselves in the season of Advent. Joining the podcast for the next 3 episodes are Old Testament Professors, Rev. Andrew Compton and Rev. Mark Vander Hart, who sit down to talk about Advent and the coming Savior, focusing today on Genesis and other Old Testament texts.

Wrapping up round 2 of chapel messages from our faculty, Instructor of Ministerial Studies Dr. Eric Watkins addresses us today with a message on Mark 1-40-45, speaking on Christ healing the leper, and the messianic secret. What can we learn from this account- After his healing, Jesus sternly charges him not to tell anyone what has taken place - but he does anyway. What do we make of the leper's disobedience here- Let's hear Dr. Watkins' insight into this passage.

Continuing today in our series of chapel messages from the Faculty, adjunct professor and OPC pastor Rev. Danny Patterson from Second Parish OPC will speak on Psalm 124 and how it speaks against self-congratulating ourselves in the context of our salvation.
