    Law-Gospel Preaching: Is It Actually Dangerous?

    In this video, Jon Moffitt addresses the relationship between law, gospel, good works, and assurance of salvation from a Reformed Baptist perspective. Should Christians look to their obedience for assurance? Do good works establish our assurance, or do they strengthen an assurance already founded upon Christ? Looking at the London Baptist Confession, especially chapters 5, 16, 17, and 18, Jon argues that the foundation of Christian assurance is the blood and righteousness of Jesus Christ. Good works are real and necessary fruits of faith, and they can strengthen our assurance, but they are not its foundation. This distinction matters for how we preach to Christians struggling with sin. The law tells us how we ought to live, but the power for salvation, sanctification, perseverance, and obedience comes through Christ and the work of his Spirit. In this episode: • What law and gospel distinction actually means• Why law/gospel is part of the Reformed Baptist tradition• The foundation of assurance according to the 1689• How good works strengthen assurance• Why obedience is a fruit of assurance• What happens to assurance when Christians fall into serious sin• How Christ preserves his people to the end• Why preaching the gospel is essential for sanctification The Christian life does not move beyond Christ. We begin by faith in Christ, continue by faith in Christ, and are preserved through faith in Christ. Learn more and get our books at theocast.org.

    Drunk Noah and the Gospel? (Genesis 9:20-27)

We walk the three views, follow the Leviticus trail, and trace the line from a shamed father to the Son who refused to grasp. From cursed to cured, this is the gospel hiding in Noah's tent.

    Jesus and the Accuser (w/ Chad Bird & Ken Jones)

    Satan’s primary weapon against believers is accusation, especially when we fail. At our recent Law-Gospel conference, Justin Perdue preached on Jesus and the Accuser, showing how Satan targets our assurance and tempts us to trust our own righteousness or despair entirely. What follows is a panel discussion with Chad Bird, Ken Jones, Justin, and Jon Moffitt, diving deeper into how Christ defends us when Satan attacks. If you want to hear the full lecture, check out the link below. This panel discussion stands on its own and offers real hope for those battling doubt.

    Gospel VS Law Based Living (w/ Chad Bird & Ken Jones)

    What truly motivates the Christian life: the gospel or the law? Too often, we confuse gospel-driven living with law-based performance. This panel discussion, recorded live at our 2025 Theocast Conference, explores how the distinction between law and gospel shapes our motivations, obedience, and joy in Christ. Featuring a post-lecture conversation with Chad Bird, Ken Jones, Justin Perdue, and Jon Moffitt, this episode unpacks what it means to live by grace. If you're tired of legalism and looking for gospel clarity, this one's for you.

    Is the Gospel Really That Simple?

    I regularly sit across the table from people and ask them to tell me the gospel. I can see how nervous and anxious that question makes them. Maybe you have had that experience: someone asks you, "What is the gospel?" and suddenly you do not know how to respond. You worry you might not say the right thing. Often this happens because we have made the gospel far too complicated in the way we talk about it. That robs us of the peace, hope, and assurance the Lord intends for us to have. The gospel is unfathomably deep, yet it is also beautiful in its simplicity. Jon and Justin have a conversation about that today. We hope it encourages you.

    When Christians Hurt Each Other

    Justin and Jon love this phrase: All of Christ for all of life. That is what this podcast is about today. The doctrine of Christ is important, and we need to get it right—but it is also for our daily lives. This is where it becomes a balm and a joy. It allows us not only to have rest but also to give rest. So we want to talk about what all of Christ looks like in areas such as relational conflict. How do we apply the wonders of Jesus for us, and how do we use something like the third use of the law to proclaim the light of the Kingdom while resisting the darkness? We live in a dark world, so considering all of Christ in conflict is a really important conversation. It was helpful for us, and we hope it will be encouraging for you as well.

    Tempted? Welcome to Christianity

    Something I wish Christianity would address more often is the normal battle with sin. Or, to put it another way: temptation. Temptation is a normal experience. That word "normal" is the key. We tend to think that as we grow in Christ, temptation decreases. But that is not what Paul says about our experience. It’s important to understand that you will not only struggle with sin, meaning you’re fighting it, but the temptation to sin may actually increase as you mature in the faith. Paul gives us some very important ways to think about temptation and how to endure it. This is a really important conversation. If you're struggling and feel the weight of temptation beating you down, this episode is for you. JUSTIN’S BOOK: MORE THAN FORGIVEN JOIN THE THEOCAST COMMUNITY!

    Make Repentance Great Again

    When I say the word repent, how do you feel? When I say confess your sins, what does that evoke in you? If repentance feels scary, threatening, or uncomfortable, or if confession feels the same, this podcast is for you. Jon and Justin are going to have a sweet conversation about how good God is to us, how forgiving and merciful He is, and how, since we have been united to Jesus by faith and brought into the family of God, it is actually a joy to live a life of continual repentance and honest confession of sin. We want to walk in the light together. There is real freedom and lasting joy in doing so. So let's make repentance great again. JUSTIN’S BOOK: MORE THAN FORGIVEN JOIN THE THEOCAST COMMUNITY!

    Processing Evil in Light of Charlie Kirk

    This conversation was recorded before the official announcement of Charlie’s death. Our hearts and our prayers are with his family. May the Lord Jesus Christ comfort them now and always. There is so much evil and pain in this world, and in this life. It all just feels too much to bear. We don't just face the evils of men; day by day, we are confronted with truly wicked and demonic powers that look to steal our hope. In our darkest hours, we must remember the light of Christ and His gospel. Jesus defeated death so you can live.

    Christless "Expository" Preaching

    Expository preaching has been very popular for the last 30 to 40 years, and we are thankful for that. But the Bible actually tells us how the Word is to be explained and expounded, and that is what this episode is about. Jon and Justin are going to make the argument that if Christ is not part of the explanation, then technically it is not a Christian sermon. It is not a biblical sermon. It is not biblical exposition. It is a bold claim, but this conversation really matters. We are going to argue from Scripture what biblical expositional preaching actually is. To avoid burying the lead: it is about Jesus.
