In this episode, we announce the upcoming Coffee House Sessions, part of Broken Wharfe’s new Audio Streaming Hub. Our listeners are given a taster of what to expect from this new channel. During this episode, we drop in on a conversation regarding recent videos released by Jordan Peterson. The guys discuss Dr Peterson and Conservative Evangelicalism. They offer a response by those who are well aware of the issues and fill a gap by showing that not all of the Christian Church are as unfit as Peterson suggests. The rise of Peterson’s popularity among evangelicals and his attempt to answer many of life’s big questions by utilising Christian terms has led to today’s Session. To see the context and videos referenced during this Session, see the links below.

38:42

In this episode, the guys explore a foundational question of theology - what is God like? If we are to understand the Word of God correctly, we must first come to understand the God behind the Word, the one that revealed himself as 'I AM WHO I AM' to Moses. What do 'Thor', 'Hobbits' and 'Unicorns' have to do with this? Listen in to find out as Jonny and John-Mark unpack this meaty subject; exploring the doctrines of divine aseity, independence and simplicity as a solution to the danger of anthropomorphism.

In this episode, the guys discuss one primary way that Christians are to respond to his revelation by confessing to believe what he has revealed. They explore how confessing the faith is not foreign to the Scripture and is a biblical and historical instinct of God's people. Do we have biblical examples? What about the early church? Jonny and John-Mark walk us through these various details.

Does having a confession of faith make a church narrow in theology, critical of other churches and hunkered down in their own bunker, unwilling to work with others? John Mark and Jonny talk with Oliver Allmand-Smith about the true spirit of the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith, those who wrote it and how the Confession promotes a generous and warm orthodoxy challenging churches to pray for each other and partner for the gospel.

Can a Confession Become More Important than the Bible? 33:27

3 years ago33:27

33:27

In this episode, Jonny and John-Mark tackle a question of the utmost importance: "Can a confession of faith become more important than the Bible?" They approach it in three ways: 1. What is the underlying concern and why is it valid? 2. What authority and role do confessions of faith have in the Church? 3. What are the practical outworkings of this discussion? In approaching the question from these angles, the guys show that confessions of faith, when properly understood as subordinate standards to the Word of God, liberate us to confess the whole teaching of Scripture. After this, the guys discuss how confessions of faith are useful tools for the teaching, training, edification and maturation of Christ's Churches and Servants.

John-Mark and Jonny chat about why we have the topics that we do in the 2nd London Confession and systematic theology. They discuss where they come from, how they relate to the bible and how systematics relates to biblical theology. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith summarises the teachings of the bible. It covers how we know God, God himself, the situation of humanity, the plan of redemption through covenants and the sending of the Christ. It also covers how life under the gospel should be organised in the church and family. It seamlessly ranges through systematics, covenantal theology, biblical theology and ethical theology as it presents the doctrines of scripture.
