Recently, we covered what it means to be Reformed: the five solas, Calvinistic soteriology, the importance of the historic Reformed confessions, and how covenant theology undergirds our practice. All of this is foundational to the Sunday worship service. This post gives an overview of our liturgy: covenant renewal worship.

“Homosexuality, lesbianism, and transgenderism violate the Sixth Commandment by killing future generations through fruitless unions and mutilating surgeries. These practices reject God's design for procreation, promoting a culture of death and barrenness instead of life and godliness."

Each week at The Shepherd’s Church, we preach short homilies on the law of God and have decided to share those here as a resource to the people of God. This week, the Biblical command for honoring father and mother and all of what that means.

“Like gum disease in its most advanced stages, our culture has become thoroughly toxified by what was once a fairly routine infection. Radical repentance and a return to the Gospel of Jesus Christ are our only hope for healing."

"Imagine a world where the Gospel's transformative power extends beyond individual salvation to the renewal of entire societies. This is the vision Paul lays before us – a vision where every sphere of life is touched by the hand of God, where justice, peace, and love reign supreme. This is not a distant dream; this is our mission, calling, and destiny."

In this new series, we are talking about what makes TSC distinct and what are our Biblical values as a Church. In this first article, we explore the need for and the necessity of Regulated Worship.

In our series on what it means to be Reformed, we have covered the five solas, five points of Calvinism, and confessionalism. But truly Reformed churches are also covenantal. This post will explain the importance of the covenants before defining how covenantal we must be to be considered Reformed.

“"Far from a loser theology, we have a theology of dominion and victory in the one with the name above all names! The widespread proliferation of pagans with secular philosophies and institutions will fade, will wither, and will give way to the universal empire of Jesus Christ."

In our series on Reformed theology, we have covered the five solas and five points of Calvinism, but Reformed theology must address all of faith and life, so a Reformed church must subscribe to a historic Reformed confession. This post will look at the meaning and importance of being confessional.

Last time, we began to discuss the distinctives of Reformed theology with the Five Solas that represent the core reasons the Protestants had to break away from Roman Catholicism. This post will cover Calvinist soteriology (TULIP): total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, and perseverance of the saints.

I occasionally refer to Reformed theology as foundational to what I write. This is the first in a series that will better define what that means. This post will cover the Five Solas of the Reformation. Future posts will discuss Calvinism, confessionalism, and covenant theology.

"This was no accident in human history. This is not the story of a band of losers bumbling along in a world getting increasingly rotten until the Savior tractor beams His people back home to the mothership. This was always the Creator's intent - that His image-bearing people would multiply and fill the Earth with true worshipers who willingly obey Him.”

We have been looking at biblical submission in the context of the church, workplace, community, and family. Last time, we discussed submission within marriage, so now we will look at submission in the relationship between parents and children, both when children are young and when they are adults.

"The Kingdom of God has been planted as a seed on the earth, and it will grow and grow until it alone stands as a towering, globally reaching tree under which all the nations are sheltered and blessed."

Last time, we looked at the importance of submission to the elders of our churches, bosses in our workplaces, and leaders in our communities. We will look at submission within the family, covering marriage this time and the relationship between children and parents next time.
