In this episode, Rev. Chris Gordon and Rev. Dr. Dan Borvan tackle the challenging intersection of politics and the pulpit, using the famous account of Jesus and the tax to Caesar in Matthew 22 as their foundation. They begin by discussing the role of the church in equipping believers to be "salt and light" and the human tendency to seek political solutions when times seem bleak. The main focus is on how the Pharisees and Herodians tried to trap Jesus with a question about paying taxes to Caesar, attempting to pull Him into their political disputes. The pastors argue that making secondary issues (like political allegiance) the primary focus to distract from the core Gospel message is a common tactic of Satan.

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?

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.
