The Weekly Essentials | 12-24-2021

In by Right Response Staff

This year, Right Response Ministries has produced hundreds of high-quality videos/podcasts. We recognize that this quantity may be overwhelming for some of our listeners. So for your convenience, we're going to be compiling a list of our top five videos at the end of each week. These videos will be 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.

#1 DISMANTLING DISPENSATIONALISM & PREMILLENNIALISM FROM THE PSALMS | PSALM 117

According to his sovereign election, God has decreed from eternity past that he might save a people for himself from among every tongue, people, and nation. In the same way that God predestined the ends, namely that the nations would be saved, God also predestined the means, namely that the Gospel would be preached to all peoples. And not only this, but God has also predestined the ultimate and eternal fruit of the redemption of all nations; that all the nations will extol the Lord and praise him forever. In other words, Psalm 117 serves not merely as a command issued to all peoples in all times, but Psalm 117 serves as a prophetic declaration of what God has promised to bring about.

#2 SHOULD WOMEN BE DEACONS?

Every Reformed Church seems to hold that only men should be Elders. However, these same churches seem divided on the question of whether or not women can be Deacons. So does the Bible allow for female Deacons, or not?

#3 STOP MISINTERPRETING “LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR”

Pastor Joel and Constance Troutman (Truth+Fire) shed light on one of the most misinterpreted commandments in the Bible: “Love Your Neighbor As Yourself.”

#4 HOW PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE TURNING CHILDREN AGAINST THEIR PARENTS

In this episode of Theology Applied, Ben Merkel, President of New Saint Andrews College, blows the lid off of secular education and public schools, and lovingly rebukes Christians who have foolishly bought into the myth of Neutrality. Remember, the choice is between either Christ or chaos.

#5 CAN A PERSON BE SAVED IN A HERETICAL CHURCH?

How biblically faithful does a proclamation of the Gospel have to be in order to have the power to save? In this video, Pastor Joel addresses this difficult question.
