The Word Became Flesh

Why did Jesus refer to himself as the Son of Man? Did he ever specifically make the claim that he was God? Why did the world need “God in human flesh” to rescue us in the first place, and was this idea of a divine descent ever mentioned anywhere in the Old Testament? The hosts […]

In the Gospel of Matthew we find the following lines from Isaiah’s prophecy applied to Jesus, “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel which means, God with us.” Yet the context of that original passage appears to be about a child who was to be born […]

Was Jesus merely a nice Jewish teacher who over time began to be worshiped as a kind of god by later generations, or was he thought of as a divine from the earliest days of Christianity? What can we learn about this by examining the earliest documents of the Christian faith? On this program the […]

In the second chapter of John’s gospel, people come to Jesus asking for a sign, and Jesus responds by saying, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up,” referring to the temple of his body. What this means is that he was the true temple, the true location of God’s holy […]

Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland discuss pastoral and real life implications for the five solas of the Reformation.

I’ve experienced some significant anniversaries recently. Two years ago, it was the 30th anniversary of the church I serve. Last year, it was 25 years of working with Michael Horton and Sola Media. And this year, my wife and I are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary.

What did they hear when he declared that “the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself” (Acts 2:39)? What they heard would have immediately governed their covenant practice […]
