    My Response to Christian Nationalism

    What is the civil government’s role? What is the church's role? How do these two spheres relate? The current debates and discussions in evangelicalism about Christian Nationalism, Two Kingdom theology, and theonomy can be extremely confusing. Dr. Sean Cole presents Seven Propositions that reflect a Reformed Baptist sphere sovereignty (historic Protestant two-kingdoms) under Christ’s universal Lordship view.

Philadelphia—the beloved church that held fast and served as a godly example and witness. Laodicea—the blind, arrogant, self-sufficient, nauseating church.   Sean has published four other books: Compassionate Calvinism: Defending the Doctrines of Grace Without Being a Jerk You can purchase it here: https://www.amazon.com/Compassionate-Calvinism-Defending-Doctrines-Without-ebook/dp/B0FZDNLGK4/ref=sr_1_1   30 Days of Praying the Scriptures:  https://bit.ly/49XaYQN   40 Days in Philippians: Finding Joy in Jesus:  https://tinyurl.com/2s6dn8vr     Your Identity in the Trinity: Discovering God’s Grace in the Gospel:  https://rb.gy/yoa223     VISIT OUR WEBSITE:   www.seancole.net   FOLLOW on:   Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/understanding-christianity/id979729949   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5F5IniTefWZPu2DjaazxPc?si=c37f71675a6e4321   FOLLOW US ON OUR SOCIALS:   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@emmanuelbaptistchurch-ster4705   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sean.cole.16144   Twitter/X: https://x.com/sdcole

    REVELATION Study: Thyatira and Sardis

    Sean’s newest book has just been released: Understanding Christianity: Biblical Answers to Life’s Most Important Questions You can purchase it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HC7WTLQZ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title   Dr. Sean Cole continues teaching through Revelation and focuses on the two churches of Thyatira and Sardis. Thyatira was the seduced church with the false prophetess who tempted them to engage in worldly behavior and to not stay true to God’s Word. Sardis was the church in name only—it had the reputation of being alive, but was dead.    Sean has published four other books: Compassionate Calvinism: Defending the Doctrines of Grace Without Being a Jerk   You can purchase it here: https://www.amazon.com/Compassionate-Calvinism-Defending-Doctrines-Without-ebook/dp/B0FZDNLGK4/ref=sr_1_1 30 Days of Praying the Scriptures:  https://bit.ly/49XaYQN   40 Days in Philippians: Finding Joy in Jesus:  https://tinyurl.com/2s6dn8vr     Your Identity in the Trinity: Discovering God’s Grace in the Gospel:  https://rb.gy/yoa223     VISIT OUR WEBSITE:   www.seancole.net   FOLLOW on:   Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/understanding-christianity/id979729949   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5F5IniTefWZPu2DjaazxPc?si=c37f71675a6e4321   FOLLOW US ON OUR SOCIALS:   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@emmanuelbaptistchurch-ster4705   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sean.cole.16144   Twitter/X: https://x.com/sdcole

    Are You Desperate For Spiritual Cleansing? MATTHEW 8:1-4

Matthew Henry said, “Sin is the leprosy of the soul; it shuts us out from communion with God, to which that we may be restored, we must be cleansed from this leprosy, and this ought to be our great concern.  Do you heed his words? Is this your greatest concern? To be cleansed from your spiritual uncleanness and wickedness before a holy God?
