Idolatry on Sunday Mornings [Part 1] Jul 24, 2023

Show notes

We gather each Sunday as the church to hear from God and worship him as he has revealed himself to us in Jesus Christ. But we can subtly shift our worship to secondary matters like music, liturgy, or skill and end up engaging in idolatry. This is the first of two episodes where David and Bob explore the different idols we can worship on Sunday mornings.

What is a Woman’s Role in Leading Worship in Song? Jul 03, 2023

More than a few women have asked us how we should view a woman’s role in leading music on Sundays in light of Scriptures like 1 Corinthians 11:33-35 and 1 Timothy 2:11-15. We invited Jeff Purswell, dean of the Sovereign Grace Pastors College, to join us for a conversation on how we can think about this topic in a way that seeks to honor God’s Word as well as the significant role women play in our gatherings.
