Seminary Chapel The Temptation to be Less Than Human This is a three-week Lenten series of homilies on the temptation of Christ. It is significant that all three of these temptations came immediately after Jesus’ baptism, where he identified with us, and heaven declared that he was “the Beloved, with whom God is well pleased.” As the Son of Humanity, Jesus’ temptations depict the essence of our temptations. All of them make us question if we are truly the beloved of God. Scripture: Matthew 4:8-11 “The Temptation to Make a Deal with the Devil” It is striking that the devil doesn’t tempt Jesus with things like health or riches. He tempts him with the kingdoms of the world, which is exactly what the Son of God came to redeem. The greatest temptations are not about ends but means. We are told we can accomplish even our spiritual goals if we just make a deal with the devil.

Midwestern Seminary Chapel Podcast Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary Chapel services of Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary Integrated with Angela Erickson Angela Erickson "Integrated with Angela Erickson" sets out to answer a few fundamental questions about our human nature such as, "Who am I?" and "What was I made for?" I want to offer something in contrast to the saccharine faith content that's being promulgated by so many Catholic influencers today. This show will be gritty and challenge you to grow in sanctity, but full of hope and joy. By engaging in comprehensive discussions on current events in the world and in the Church, my guests and I will examine the theological and philosophical tradition of the Church throughout millennia and how it can be applied practically and spiritually to our own lives today. I want to help bridge the chasm that often exists in our lives between the intellect and the will, as I know from experience how difficult this is. I’m constantly reminded that “the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” I'm excited to say I already have a stellar line-up of guests to come on the show! My hope is that by examining the world Stone Choir Stone Choir Two Lutheran (LCMS) men bring a theological lens to the world, and relate the state of the world back to theology. Topics are timely, challenging, and fearless. We’ll probably make you nervous, sometimes make you angry, but never leave you bored. We are the stones who cry out. The Tension Faith Fleshed Out Ministries The Tension is a podcast centered around the examination and exploration of two theological topics and putting them in right relationship with one another. We find the truth inside of tension. We work through our presuppositions and have a conversation so we can grow, not only in faith, but also in wisdom. The podcast is about reaching the lost, equipping the saints, and challenging you to think deeper into the things of God for the glory of God. We wrestle with subjects like original covenant and new covenant, salvation and discipleship, complexity and simplicity, and much more. We also aim to have conversations about subjects that your church may be avoiding or is unwilling to discuss altogether. There is no way that we can be totally right or totally wrong about our faith. It is our hope to encourage you that you are not alone and there is a community of believers who are seeking the truth of God's story to His creation. With the podcast we hope that we will build a community for pe
