    The Life & Legacy of Jonathan Edwards | Ep. 98

    Jonathan Edwards (1703–1758) was a central figure in the First Great Awakening and is often regarded as America’s greatest preacher and theologian. This episode explores his life, ministry, controversies, and lasting legacy. From his early years in colonial New England to his role in the Great Awakening, we look at Edwards’ most influential sermons and writings, his dismissal from Northampton, his missionary work in Stockbridge, and his brief presidency at Princeton. Along the way, we consider both his enduring contributions to theology and the challenges he faced, offering a thoughtful look at one of the most important figures in American church history.

    Q&A with Dr Andy Naselli — A Conversation on Sanctification | Ep. 96

    Join me for an encouraging and practical conversation with Dr. Andy Naselli on the topic of sanctification—how Christians grow in holiness. I recently had the opportunity to host this Q&A with Dr. Naselli at a conference hosted by Faith Evangelical Free Church in Grand Forks, ND. We had a previous conversation on episode 91 of the podcast, where we discussed his book 'How to Read a Book: Advice for Christian Readers.' Dr. Naselli serves as Professor of Systematic Theology and New Testament at Bethlehem College and Seminary in Minneapolis, and as lead pastor of Christ the King Church in Stillwater, MN. He has authored around 25 books on theology and Christian living. In this conversation, we explore: ✅ The role of works in the Christian life ✅ How God’s sovereignty and human responsibility intersect ✅ Practical ways to pursue Christlikeness ✅ The role of theology in spiritual growth ✅ The importance of reading and cultivating a learning culture in churches Get a free trial of Logos at ReasonableTheology.org/Logos Support the show GET THE NEWSLETTER Each edition of the Reasonable Theology newsletter contains my latest article or podcast episode PLUS: A Theological Word or Phrase Explained Quickly and Clearly A Painting Depicting a Scene from Scripture or Church History Audio of a Hymn or other Musical Selection to Enjoy A Recommended Book or Resource to Expand Your Library SUBSCRIBE HERE

    How Long, O Lord? A Word for the Weary from Psalm 13

    In Psalm 13, David cries out, “How long, O Lord?”—a question that echoes in the hearts of many who find themselves weighed down by sorrow, pain, and unanswered prayers.  This sermon explores how Psalm 13 gives voice to real anguish while also pointing us to a hope that endures. If you're facing a long trial, feeling forgotten by God, or struggling to hold on, this reflection on lament, prayer, and trust will help you find comfort not in easy answers, but in the steadfast love of the Lord.  Psalm 13 (ESV) 1 How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?     How long will you hide your face from me? 2 How long must I take counsel in my soul     and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? 3 Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;     light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death, 4 lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,”     lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken. 5 But I have trusted in your steadfast love;     my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. 6 I will sing to the Lord,     because he has dealt bountifully with me.  Get a free trial of Logos at ReasonableTheology.org/Logos Support the show GET THE NEWSLETTER Each edition of the Reasonable Theology newsletter contains my latest article or podcast episode PLUS: A Theological Word or Phrase Explained Quickly and Clearly A Painting Depicting a Scene from Scripture or Church History Audio of a Hymn or other Musical Selection to Enjoy A Recommended Book or Resource to Expand Your Library SUBSCRIBE HERE

    Christ's Crucifixion, His Resurrection, and Our Salvation | Sermon on Matthew 28

    There is no joy on Easter Sunday without the sorrow of Good Friday.  There is no resurrection without the cross.  And there is no salvation without them both.  Without the events of Sunday morning the events of Friday afternoon were merely a terrible tragedy. The cross was necessary, as it was here Christ bore the wrath of God against sin and took the full weight of its punishment so that our debt of sin against God could be paid in full.  Romans 5:10 says “while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son.” The Resurrection was necessary, for a dead Savior cannot save anyone. As we read in Romans 4:25, Christ “was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.” That Christ rose from the dead three days later proves that His sacrifice for sin was accepted by the Father and that Jesus truly has power over both sin and death. The Resurrection proves that Jesus is who Scripture says He is! Listen to this sermon on Matthew 28 to gain a fuller appreciation for the reality of the Resurrection, the reactions people had and have to this reality, and the right response to the truth that Jesus Christ rose from the dead.
