Dr. Carl Toney: Trust Me! Exploring the Gospel of God’s Grace and Love in Romans May 08, 2026

Show notes

Saving faith is not just eternal life insurance. In the letter of Romans, Paul presents a robust understand of the gospel, and what it means to be saved by faith. For Paul, faith is like a three-legged stool. It involves right beliefs about God’s trustworthiness, responding in trust to these beliefs, and living a life of obedient faith and loyalty to our trustworthy God.

JK Hamilton: Provision Without Pause: Nature’s Witness, Our Confidence (Part 2) May 08, 2026

Show notes

This lectureship explores the unbroken pattern of God’s provision as revealed in the details of creation and experienced in the life of the believer. From the feeding of the birds of the air to the clothing of the lilies of the field (Matthew 6:25–34), Scripture presents nature as a living testimony of God’s sustaining care. What God continually does for creation, He faithfully extends to His people.

Through a careful study of key biblical texts (Psalm 104; Matthew 6:25–34; and other texts), this class will examine how creation functions as theological evidence—declaring God’s character as Provider, Sustainer, and Faithful Keeper. Participants will consider the consistency of divine provision (“without pause”) and how it confronts human anxiety, strengthens trust, and calls believers to deeper dependence on God.

The session will also address practical implications: how observing God’s care in nature reshapes our perspective on lack, worry, and faith in uncertain times. Attendees will gain both a richer theological framework and a renewed personal confidence that the same God who sustains the world is actively and reliably providing for them.

How I Love Your 'Law!' Really!? The Psalmist declares not devotion but "love" for Torah, what is that about? How can any one love "law" much less the "Law of Moses?" What is Torah about that makes God's people declare it to be "sweeter than honey?
