Rev. Dr. Andrew Compton

“Ezekiel's Encounter with the Glory of Yahweh: God's Presence Among Exiles, Then and Now”

Ezekiel 1 has baffled interpreters for millennia. Its use of imagery has stretched the imagination of interpreters, including that of Ezekiel himself who grasps for words to associate yet still distance the divine essence   from the visionary pictures he was shown. But not only does this vision play a significant role in Ezekiel's call and prophetic book, the God who approaches in this vision approaches elect exiles today (1 Peter 1:1, 17; 2:11) in the Glory who has come from heaven, full of grace and truth (John 1:14). 

 Rev. Dr. Michael Horton

“The Word Did It All” from Acts 6”

Luther said, “The Word did it all.”  What does this mean? And do we really believe this today? What does it mean that “the word of God spread”? Why can we have confidence today that God’s Word is above all earthly powers?

A Reformed Perspective on Fencing the Lord’s Supper

In this episode, Pastors Chris Gordon and Dan Borvan discuss the biblical practice of fencing the Lord’s Supper. They explore why the church has historically protected communion, and how this practice serves to protect both the Supper itself and those who would partake of it. The discussion covers the different views on communion—closed, close, and open—and the biblical and historical arguments for each. They also address the challenges of practicing fencing in a modern culture of individualism, and the potential spiritual dangers of a slow drift away from biblical standards.

Join Rev. Chris Gordon and Rev. Dr. Dan Borvan in Episode 113 as they discuss Jesus's cleansing of the temple. They explore the deeper meaning behind this dramatic event, examining its connection to the triumphant entry, the symbolism of the fig tree, and the transformation of the temple into a marketplace. The pastors look into Calvin's insights, Jesus's priestly office, and the dramatic nature of His actions. They also touch upon the importance of standing for truth, the dangers of peddling the Word for gain, and the controversy surrounding worship. Finally, they discuss how the temple ultimately points to Christ as the true temple and that, through Him, we are the living stones of the temple of God.

This episode explores the vital role of deacons within the church, contrasting the robust biblical understanding of the office with its often diminished perception in broader evangelicalism. Rev. Chris Gordon and Rev. Dr. Dan Borvan discuss the "three office view" of pastor, elder, and deacon, emphasizing the deacon's crucial ministry of mercy. They discuss the direct scriptural warrant for deacons in Acts 6, highlighting how their role frees pastors to focus on prayer and preaching. The conversation also addresses the challenges and spiritual rewards of the office, the importance of compassion over scrutiny in financial matters, and the qualifications outlined in 1 Timothy 3. They stress the need for trust between the congregation and its deacons, underscoring that a healthy church relies on a healthy diaconate dedicated to both the physical and spiritual well-being of its members and beyond.

They explore the biblical basis for satire, the art of drawing lines in comedic content, and the importance of moral courage in engaging contemporary cultural movements. The conversation touches on balancing edgy humor with moral boundaries, the "Woke Right," the intersection of politics and religion, and the enduring relevance of theological grounding in a rapidly changing world.
