Video and Notes for Systematic Theology Weeks 18 & 19
The Systematic Theology Series continues. When we began, I had no method for estimating how long it may take to get through the various topics and “-ologies” I hoped to address. But now we’ve passed weeks 18 & 19 and we’ve yet to exhaust the attributes of God. So, this may take a while. But, I have to say, I’m really enjoying teaching this series.
Here are the notes for Week 18 – The Truthfulness of God and Week 19 – The Love and Goodness of God.
The corresponding YouTube videos can be found here and here.
Preaching in Chattanooga
Well, the 30th session of the Sovereign Grace Bible Conference has come to a close. It was a most enjoyable week. Over my years of attending this conference, I have formed friendships and bonds of fellowship that will last for the balance of my lifetime. And their willingness to continue putting me in the pulpit is nothing less than grace, grace, grace.
Here is the audio from my message this year. I called it “Our God Reigns” in keeping with the theme of this year’s conference. The sound is passible, but you will hear occasional audio glitches. Somewhere between the wireless mic and the soundboard, syllables disappeared. But, nothing that will keep you from understanding what’s being said.
And thanks to James Guyo for these two photos:
Messages from the entire conference will be available in the days to come, via the main conference website: Sovereign Grace Bible Conference
Systematic Theology Week 17 – The Wisdom of God
Systematic Theology Week 16 (and additional videos)
Rather than embed the video here, I’ll just provide the link. But, this week’s installment in our Systematic Theology series is available via YouTube. This week we touched on God’s righteousness before discussing His invisibility and knowledge. You can watch here:
ST16 – The Attributes of Righteousness, Invisibility, and Knowledge
And the notes are available as a pdf here: ST16 notes.
Meanwhile, I’ve also posted two videos from earlier this year. I presented two lectures called “The Word on the Word” at the Embracing the Truth Bible Conference in Gladeville, TN. The video quality is lower-resolution than I prefer, but I hope the content of the presentations overcomes the video fuzziness. Here are the two messages:
Systematic Theology Week 15 – The Attribute of Holiness
And here are the notes from this week: The Attribute of Holiness notes
Thunder, Lightening, and Sovereignty
This week we braved the elements as we continued our series on Systematic Theology. And we addressed one of my favorite topics, the attribute of sovereignty. No doctrine of God brings more comfort or assurance to the believer, yet no doctrine is as hated and rejected by the “worldlings” (to quote Spurgeon).
Systematic Theology Weeks 12 & 13 — Immutability, Simplicity, Eternity, and Omnipresence
The trip to Mesquite really messed with my schedule. But now I’m playing catch-up. So, here are the videos and (more importantly) the notes from the last two segments of the Systematic Theology Series.
The notes for ST weeks 12 & 13 are here.
Audio and Notes From Mesquite 2013 Conference
Last week I had the distinct pleasure of teaching at the Sovereign Grace Bible Conference in Mesquite, TX. The conference was hosted by Saints Chapel, where Gregg Wren is the pastor. It was a very enjoyable week. And, since I promised to come home with audio, the teaching portions of the conference are now posted on the GCA website. You can link directly to them here:
Both my series and the daytime sessions by David Morris are posted in that folder. We were both addressing the topics of prophecy and eschatology. David’s emphasis was on the relationship between Israel and the church, whereas mine was on the kingdom and Revelation 20. Our messages and approach dovetailed into each other quite nicely … you know, almost like there was a sovereign hand of providence at work.
Also, here are PDF files of the handouts I made available in Mesquite. And, for those who are curious, I’ve also posted my notes — all of them. You can follow along and see how often I depended on them and how often I went rabbit-chasing. I hope they’re some help.
