The Weekly Essentials | 07-15-2022

In by Right Response Staff

Right Response Ministries has produced hundreds of high-quality videos/podcasts. So for your convenience, every Friday we provide a list of our top five videos for the week. Each of these videos are personally selected by Pastor Joel Webbon. He has insisted that we not merely highlight our most popular content, but the content that he believes is most vital for Christians to be convicted, emboldened, and encouraged. May God use this content to bless you richly.


#1 A PRIMER ON POSTMILLENNIALISM (*INCLUDES POSTMIL VIEW OF RAPTURE) | WITH JEFF DURBIN

In the month of July, we are revisiting some of Pastor Joel's favorite episodes from the past. We hope you enjoy one of Pastor Joel's early interviews with Jeff Durbin from @Apologia Studios .

In this episode of Theology Applied, Joel Webbon and Jeff Durbin dedicate their whole conversation to providing biblical support for Postmillennialism.

#2 THE TABERNACLE, THE MERCY SEAT, & 1689 FEDERALISM

The Tabernacle (and later the Temple) was constructed under the direction of Moses, according to the detailed instructions he received from God on Mount Sinia (or Mount Horeb). The “First Section” of the Tabernacle (the Holy Place), stands in distinction from the “Second Section” (the Most Holy Place, or the Holy of Holies). This is not meant to signify two tabernacles, but two “sections” of one Tabernacle. Therefore, under the “First Covenant” there was only ONE PLACE where the special presence of God could be found, there was only ONE PERSON who could enter that place (the High Priest), and this person could only enter that place ONE TIME each year (the “Day of Atonement,” or Yom Kippur). In contrast, under the “New Covenant,” Jesus eternally serves as our High Priest. Christ not only atoned for our sin once and for all, but he made a way for us to “come boldly before the Throne of Grace (the Mercy Seat).” In other words, the ministry of Christ does not merely achieve forgiveness for our sins, but the ability to commune with God. Justification, although the “heart” of the Gospel, is not the “end” of the Gospel. The end of the Gospel is communion with the God forever.

#3 WESTMINSTER COVENANT THEOLOGY VS. 1689 FEDERALISM

According to a Reformed Baptist view, the New Covenant is not just BIGGER, but BETTER; not merely WIDER, but DEEPER.

#4 SHOULD WOMEN BE ALLOWED TO VOTE?

From Joshua Lahring - Hi Pastor Joel, I have been listening to you on biblical patriarchy and I am wondering what you think about women having the right to vote. Since men are called to lead in the home and should be the governing authorities, should women have part in deciding the direction of society?

#5 THE PLOT TO DESTROY THE SBC | RUSSELL MOORE, RACHEL DENHOLLANDER, & GUIDEPOST

A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM PASTOR JOEL WEBBON

Unfortunately, 2021 did not provide the relief that many were hoping for. Instead of the promised return to normalcy, tyranny and deception have become commonplace. From vaccine mandates to record-high inflation, our current political elites have made it abundantly clear that they have no concern for the public. And yet, God’s goodness has continued to shine through. More and more people are waking up to reality and joining the fight for liberty and truth.

However, there still appears to be a problem. On the one hand, there are Evangelicals who claim to love the Gospel, while consistently echoing the talking points of neo-Marxists. And on the other hand, there are Conservatives that champion many Christian values, while rejecting Christ as the source of all that is good. Our world desperately needs Christians who believe the whole Bible and are committed to applying it to every area of life. From family to church, and culture to politics, we must hold fast to the sufficiency of Scripture.

This is our goal: To equip Christians with a thoroughly biblical worldview, and teach them to apply it to every area of life.

To this end, we humbly ask that you would prayerfully consider partnering with Right Response Ministries. Right Response Ministries is seeking to continue to be a voice of reason in a world that has gone mad, but we cannot accomplish this without your help.
