The Glory of God Alone, Part 2
Presented by Bob DeWaay, Eric Douma, and Andy Olson
Broadcast Monday, August 12, 2024
This discussion continues by explaining why monergistic salvation is a necessary corollary of the glory of God alone. However small man's part is deemed to be, no salvation happens without it. Therefore God does not get all of the glory...

Presented by Bob DeWaay, Eric Douma, and Andy Olson
Broadcast Monday, August 5, 2024

Still Small Voice?
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz
Broadcast Monday, December 4, 2023
We examine the "still small voice" passage to see if it indicates that believers ought to expect to hear from God in this way. Exodus 19 and 1Kings 19 both describe a theophany and end with God speaking audibly, not through metaphysical impressions.

Our National Myth
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz

Presented by Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz
Broadcast Monday, July 10, 2023
Christ is the Anointed One. Antichrists claim an anointing that didn't come from Christ. One cannot gain more anointing by attending meetings or seminars put on by these antichrists. All true believers are anointed. We must stand firm on Scripture alone.

The Priesthood of Every Believer, Part 11 - The Unbiblical Sacrifice of the Mass
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz
Broadcast Monday, March 14, 2022
We show that the Catholic mass isn't found in Scripture. It's a sacrifice that God never ordained. The mass is powerless to sanctify believers. As believers we can rest in the once-for-all sacrifice for sins that we have in Christ.

Presented by Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz
Broadcast Monday, March 7, 2022
Contrary to the Catholic mass, Christ's once-for-all sacrifice made us holy and our worship acceptable to God. When we present ourselves to God as taught in Romans 12:1, we offer a sacrifice as a part of the priesthood of every believer.

Presented by Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz
Broadcast Monday, February 14, 2022

The Priesthood of Every Believer, Part 6 - To Administer Communion
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz
Broadcast Monday, February 7, 2022
The Lord's Supper is for all believers and all Christians are equal at the Lord's Table. Nowhere in the New Testament does it claim that one must be a church authority to administer the Lord's Supper. We are simply commanded to "do this."

Presented by Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz

Presented by Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz

Presented by Eric Douma
Broadcast Monday, November 8, 2021

Infant Baptism and the Institutional Church, Part 2
Presented by Bob DeWaay
Broadcast Monday, September 28, 2020
Infant baptism leads to an institutional Christianity that often has no gospel and no life of the Holy Spirit. They often hold to the same pagan teachings as the world. The true church is a living organism with Christ as the head.
MP3 (duration 00:25:49)

Infant Baptism and the Institutional Church, Part 1
Presented by Bob DeWaay
Broadcast Monday, September 21, 2020
Acts 16:15 is the main proof text used to justify infant baptism. As we address each case of baptism in Acts, we find that it is always believers who are baptized. There is never an example of baptizing an infant or person who has not turned to Christ.

God ordained corporate means of grace, not solitude. The reality is mystical solitude did not come from the Bible but from Eastern religion. The resultant panentheism is not compatible with Christian theism. The meditative practices of Enneagram involve..

The Building of God, Part 2: Ephesians 2:21b-22
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma
Broadcast Monday, December 9, 2019
In this program we discuss the implications of the church as the dwelling place of God. In verse 21 Paul uses a Greek word that signifies the holy place and holy of holies from the OT temple. During the church age this is not about a physical structure...

The Building of God, Part 1: Ephesians 2:21-22
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma
Broadcast Monday, December 2, 2019
This show is based on a sermon Bob DeWaay preached from Ephesians 2:21, 22. The key issue is to biblically define the church. Many common assumptions about the church are taken from church history and not grounded in the biblical definition of the church.

Toxic Devotion Part 2 - Mysticism Replaces God's Promises
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma
Broadcast Monday, June 11, 2018
We begin this broadcast by showing that the Bible makes its claims based on objective, tangible evidence, not on metaphysical impressions. Are we going to have faith in objective promises or seek mystical impressions that exist subjectively in our minds?

Toxic Devotion Part 1 - Sarah Young's False Categories
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma
Broadcast Monday, June 4, 2018
Sarah Young's best-selling books (and children's books) consist of her impressions of Jesus speaking in the first person from heaven directly to Young. In this broadcast we contrast such mystical impressions with God's true self-revelation in the Bible.

Bereans and Tradition
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel
Broadcast Monday, November 27, 2017

Inner Healing
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel

Self-Esteem the New Christian "Virtue", Part 2
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel
Broadcast Monday, October 9, 2017

Self-Esteem the New Christian "Virtue", Part 1
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel

Tithing
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel

Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel
Broadcast Monday, September 18, 2017
We disagree with those who claim to know that the places struck by calamity are being judged by God in a manner that others are not. They cannot know that. We explain the differences between God's providential will and His moral will.

Calamities and God's Judgment, Part 1
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel
Broadcast Monday, September 11, 2017
When calamities happen people wonder if it is God's judgment. Since there are no authoritative prophets today we can only know what the Bible tells us. What Jesus said about people who died in similar incidents was "Unless you repent you shall all likewise perish." We need to believe on Christ for salvation.

The Lure of Paganism, Part 2
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel
Broadcast Monday, June 12, 2017

The Lure of Paganism, Part 1
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel

Greater Works Than These Understanding John 14:11, 12
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel
Broadcast Monday, May 15, 2017
Some have claimed that John 14:11 teaches that some Christians are going to do greater miracles than Jesus did. We use careful, Biblical exegesis to show that the passage does not teach greater miracles, but the spreading of the gospel.

The Hebrew Lament and the Problem of Evil
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel

Revival and the Narrow Gate
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel
Broadcast Monday, May 1, 2017

No Third Option: Two-Domain Theology, Part 2
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma
Broadcast Monday, April 24, 2017
We need to believe what the New Testament says about spiritual domains. Many think the problem is lack of awareness. It is actually lack of faith in what has been revealed. That we are in the domain of Christ does not imply that we can do the miracles...

Escaping From Satan's Domain: Two-Domain Theology, Part 1
Presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma

The Fox The Funeral and The Furrow: Luke 9:57-62
Presented by Bob DeWaay
Broadcast Monday, September 26, 2016
This section of Luke is about the cost of following Jesus. We discuss the irony involved with the title "Son of Man." The Son of Man from Daniel is to be exalted and glorious, yet Jesus claims that He as the Son of Man will suffer and be rejected.

The Road to Rejection and Ascension, Part 2: Luke 9:51-56
Presented by Bob DeWaay
Broadcast Monday, September 19, 2016

The Need for Grace to Understand, Part 2: Luke 9:37-50
Presented by Bob DeWaay
Broadcast Monday, September 5, 2016
One difficulty that the disciples faced was that Jesus called Himself the Son of Man while predicting His rejection. The passage in Daniel on the Son of Man speaks of His dominion. It is a work of grace that causes anyone to believe in Christ.

The Need for Grace to Understand, Part 1: Luke 9:37-50
Presented by Bob DeWaay
Broadcast Monday, August 29, 2016
When the disciples are unable to help an only child in a desperate situation, Jesus laments the "perverted generation" that they are part of. There needs to be a work of grace for the truth of Christ's mission to be understood.

Presented by Bob DeWaay
Broadcast Monday, August 22, 2016
In part two of this sermon, we see that the disciples do not understand the significance of what happens on the mount with Jesus. Peter wrongly wants to set up three tents of meeting. The truth is that Jesus is the One who speaks authoritatively for God.

Jesus' Identity and Mission: Luke 9:1-17
Presented by Bob DeWaay
Broadcast Monday, July 25, 2016
