Fear of Man and Fear of God May 15, 2023

Show notes

The fear of God is essential to what it means to be a believer, yet there seems to be a modern aversion to this often misunderstood theme. Tune in as James and Jonathan talk to long-time friend Keith Plummer as he shares the security and courage that the fear of the Lord is intended to give to God’s people and how an appropriate fear of God is a delight and will result in a diminished fear of man.

Torah Story, Second Edition: Part 1 Apr 03, 2023

Show notes

Gary Schnittjer’s The Torah Story: An Apprenticeship on the Pentateuch became an instant classic upon its release in 2006. Sophisticated yet highly accessible, The Torah Story approaches the first five books of the Old Testament as both internally intrinsic and interconnected, unfolding a metanarrative that ultimately culminates in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Torah Story, Second Edition streamlines and simplifies the content of the original, offering new sidebars and fresh insights to help students, scholars, and laypersons alike appreciate the very beginnings of the greatest story ever told.

The Sum of Saving Knowledge In 1650, a brilliant young theologian joined with a legendary pastor to write The Sum of Saving Knowledge, designed to summarize the Westminster Standards for the layperson.

Crown and Covenant Publications has released a new gift edition of the book edited by our guest, professor/author David Whitla, who adds a study guide to further help readers navigate and understand this literary classic.

The Shadow of Christ in the Book of Lamentations Feb 20, 2023

Show notes

The Shadow of Christ in the Book of Lamentations How many sermons have you heard from the Old Testament book of Lamentations? Clearly, it’s not a “fan favorite,” but—as author and professor C.J. Williams explains—the prophet Jeremiah’s poetic laments offer us practical insights into grieving with faith, finding hope in suffering, and experiencing grace in life’s trials. As his title suggests, Dr. Williams makes a compelling case for reading Lamentations in the light of Christ’s suffering and the healing it brings.

Thanks to Crown and Covenant's generosity, we were able to select three winners for a giveaway of Dr. Williams' book. Congratulations to Vincent R. from Newtown Square, PA, Doug B. from Medford, OR, and Ben M. from Anaheim Hills, CA.
