Mary & The Annunciation

As we celebrate another Advent season, what does the incarnation mean? How did God meet with his people in the past, like in this episode with Jacob’s ladder? What does this meeting place of God with men teach us concerning the nature of God’s salvation? Join us on this special episode of White Horse Inn […]

The Christmas season can be a dangerous time of the year for faith. Its not merely that Christ is over shadowed by Santa Clause and reindeer, but Christmas is a time when it is easy for people to think that everyone is basically good and that in the right circumstances people will do the right […]

Many people today think of Jesus as a kind of helpful teacher, healer, or therapist. But what does scripture say that Jesus came to do? On this program the hosts will discuss the three offices of Christ, showing how he fulfilled the roles of prophet, priest and king.

As we work our way to the Christmas season, we will be taking a look at Mary’s Magnificat. What were the Jewish expectations surrounding the coming messiah?

The heart of the Christmas story is the birth of Christ. But why did God become human? What was his ultimate mission? Tune in to this edition of the White Horse Inn as the hosts discuss the birth of Christ and the opening of his public ministry. (Originally broadcast on December 9, 1997)

The famous Christmas hymn “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” reminds us each year of the deep longing and hopeful expectation for the fulfillment of all the messianic promises revealed throughout the history of the Old Testament. This Emmanuel, or “God with us,” would come in the fullness of time to “ransom captive Israel.” On this […]

How do the angelic announcements of Mary’s conception and of the birth of Christ relate to the Old Testament promises concerning the coming messiah, and what do they reveal about Christ’s forthcoming mission and work? On this program, the hosts are continuing their series on The Meaning of Christmas by taking a closer look at […]

Paul describes the teaching of the gospel—all that is needed for salvation—as “the whole counsel of God” (Acts 20:27). Our kids need that counsel, too. Read through Acts with them! Explain the stories. Help them see the goodness, power, and love of the God who made them and sent his Son to die for them.

Following sound doctrine requires our eyes to remain fixed on Jesus. It also requires that our faith rests in him. Faith opens the door to God’s plan and allows us to accomplish his will for our lives. It does so chiefly because it fosters a heart that yields to the counsel and leading of God. In this way, we remain on the road of truth.

The Prophets are not just abstract apocalyptic literature, included in the canon of Scripture because of their audience or subject matter. No, they—like the rest of Scripture—are the divinely inspired word of God. They are included in the unfolding of God’s redemptive plan and written within the covenant context of God and his people for a theological purpose, reflecting a specific historical and geographical context.

While there are new figures in this movement, the content of their message is hardly original. One can think of late medieval mysticism’s emphasis on a mystical encounter with God […]
