    What Does It Mean To Consider Jesus? | The Call and Destiny of Mankind (Hebrews 3:1-6)

    A Tuesday Night Lesson on the Book of Hebrews, 3:1-6What does God want you to do with your life? Life is full of anxieties over making the right decisions, whether that's choosing a major, a job, or a spouse. But being able to make these decisions doesn't give us what our calling or destiny is supposed to be.From the beginning of Hebrews 3, Christian Barrett teaches young adults that Christians share a heavenly calling, and that we are urged to "consider Jesus." By considering Jesus, we can live in light of our calling and destiny, which is to know and be known by God and to spend eternity with Him.In this video, Christian shares some practical ways for someone to consider Jesus, which begins with asking God to help you live for Him.Do you consider Jesus?Want more discipleship resources?

    Polycarp: What John’s Disciple Taught About Christianity

    Who was Polycarp, and what did this disciple of the apostle John teach about Christianity? Explore Polycarp of Smyrna’s life, his Letter to the Philippians, and his martyrdom—and discover how the early church passed the apostles’ teaching to the next generation. In this video, we examine Polycarp’s teaching on salvation by grace, the authority of Scripture, Jesus’ true humanity, Christ bearing our sins, and the character of church leaders. We also explore his relationship to the Bishop of Rome, his references to elders and deacons, and his defense of the Christian faith against false teaching. Polycarp’s story brings church history into our own lives: Are we faithfully passing on the gospel? Are we making disciples? And will we remain faithful to Jesus when following Him comes at a cost? Watch through the end as we consider persecution in the Roman Empire and Polycarp’s refusal to deny Christ. What stands out most to you about Polycarp’s life or teaching?

    The Remedy For Our Sin | Five Reasons Why God Sent His Son (Hebrews 2:5-14)

    A Tuesday Night Lesson on the Book of Hebrews, 2:5-14 "One of the purposes of the Bible is to afflict the comfortable and to comfort the afflicted." - R. Kent Hughes In this lesson, Drew Sons shares a question that is prompted by Hebrews 2:10: "Why was it fitting that God would send His Son to suffer for His people?" To answer this question, he pulls five reasons from the text and teaches young adults the good news and bad news that follows. For the Christian, the good news of sin being paid for. For the non-Christian, the bad news of sin deserving of wrath. Does this news comfort you or afflict you? Want more discipleship resources?

    Are You Drifting? | Paying Attention to Jesus (Hebrews 2:1-4)

    A Tuesday Night Lesson on the Book of Hebrews, 2:1-4 In this lesson, Christian Barrett reminds young adults of the gospel truth while warning them of the dangers of drifting. But what does drifting look like? It can be believing things such as: "I'll focus on my faith when I graduate." "I'll have time to read my Bible on the weekends." "I just want to do what makes me happy, surely God wants me to be happy." Hebrews 2 begins with the exhortation that Christians must pay close attention to the message that they have received. By paying close attention to His supremacy and greatness, we can avoid the gradual, quiet movement that prevents us from focusing on Him. Are you drifting? Want more discipleship resources?

    Why a Bigger View of God Changes Everything with Drew Sons

    Who is God, and why does a bigger view of God change everything? Understanding God's holiness, grace, justice, and wrath transforms how we worship, navigate suffering, and live the Christian life. In this conversation, Christian Barrett and a friend explore one of the most important questions in Christian theology: What is God? Beginning with the historic catechisms, we discuss the limitations of human understanding, the biblical attributes of God, and why growing in our knowledge of God is essential for Christian discipleship. How can we know an infinite God? What happens when our view of God becomes too small? How does understanding His character change the way we respond to suffering, trials, and everyday life? We also discuss practical ways to grow in the knowledge of God through Scripture, prayer, worship, historic Christian creeds, confessions, catechisms, and relationships with other believers. Whether you're new to Christianity, exploring theology, or seeking to deepen your relationship with Christ, this conversation is an invitation to move beyond shallow faith and pursue a deeper knowledge and love of God.

After visiting Rome and exploring its churches, basilicas, religious art, and historic Christian sites, I came away with five important observations about Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, and the state of Christianity in Rome today.In this video, I examine the continued role of indulgences in Roman Catholic theology and practice, the prominence of Mary in Catholic devotion, and the way many of Rome’s churches can feel more like museums than places of Christian worship. I also consider whether Rome is truly as Christian as it appears and why the theological issues raised during the Protestant Reformation still matter for Christians today.At the same time, Rome possesses a remarkably rich Christian history. From the witness of the early church to the legacy of Christian art, architecture, martyrs, and theologians, Rome remains an important place for understanding church history. The goal of this video is not simply to criticize, but to evaluate what I observed through the lens of Scripture and the gospel. What do you think? Is the Reformation over, or do the differences between Protestantism and Roman Catholicism still matter? 00:00 - Is Rome Really Christian? 00:29 - Five Lessons Rome Teaches About Roman Catholicism 02:40 - Is the Protestant Reformation Over? 11:26 - Indulgences in Modern Roman Catholic Theology 19:56 - Are Rome’s Churches Becoming Museums? 23:10 - Mary in Rome: Veneration or Adoration? 28:47 - Rome’s Rich Christian History and Tradition Subscribe to Emet Ministries for more videos on Christian theology, church history, apologetics, Protestantism, Roman Catholicism, and how Christians can faithfully engage the culture.
