Kicking off his class on Scripture, the Self, and Society (which will use Carl Trueman's bookStrange New World as a central resource), Dr. Michael Nicholson leads a tour of the world in which we find ourselves: transgenderism, drag, pronouns, and more. Then he does a short Bible study on the meaning of "identity."

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Jeremiah 1, in which the prophet is commissioned to preach God's word--his killing word and is creative word. These two words lead first to our awareness of sin and finally to our salvation in Christ.
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Hebrews 11 and 12, in which we read about the "great cloud of witnesses," and the race we are running. We run, not to get into the cloud, but because of what we have been witness to: our sin and God's grace.
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Hebrews 11, in which we're told that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were saved by faith. But faith in what? Faith in the God who keeps his promises, especially in the finished work of Christ for sinners.
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Colossians 3, in which Paul counsels Christians to set their minds on "the things above." Rather than teaching us to ignore this world, Paul is calling us to remember our salvation, and to interact with this world as resurrected people.
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Luke 11, in which Jesus tells a parable about two friends and a locked door. We are evil, and curved in on ourselves. But God is an awesome gift-giver, giving the life and righteousness of Jesus to sinners.
The Rev. Jacob Davis preaches a sermon on Luke 10, in which Martha works in kitchen while Mary sits at Jesus' feet. Mary, focused solely on Jesus, has made the better choice. Jesus is everything.
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Luke 10, in which Jesus tells the parable of the Good Samaritan. There are two truths in this story: the first, that we should love our neighbor, points us to the second, that Christ is our savior.
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on 2 Kings 5, in which a Syrian general tries to purchase a healing that he can only have for free. Nothing we can do will earn us God's love...it is only given for free in Jesus Christ.
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Luke 9, in which Jesus "sets his face" toward Jerusalem. Jesus goes to bear the judgment of God...he goes to be Good News for sinners.
