Kitchen Table Theology
Where Coffee, Conversation, and Theology Meet. During my 40 years in ministry, I’ve developed an increasing burden for what I sense to be an increase in biblical illiteracy, not only among those in our churches, but also in the young men and women entering the ministry. Conversely, I am hopeful, because I also sense a hunger from people to learn and know biblical truth and the things of God has revealed to us in Scripture. Our Kitchen Table Theology team has developed a list of over 150 doctrinal topics which I, along with one of my cohosts, Jen Denton or Tiffany Coker, examine weekly. Our goal is to educate and share biblical truth on the same level as if we were sitting at your kitchen table with a Bible and a pot of southern pecan coffee in front of us. Welcome to the table!
Kitchen Table Theology
127 Complete in Christ
In this episode, Jen and Pastor Jeff continue the 33 things that happen during salvation, discussing what it means to be complete in Christ. They explain that this fullness is imparted to believers at the moment of salvation and is always present before God. This includes his role as the authority over all angelic and demonic created beings, as well as human authority. Tune in to learn how this applies to our daily lives!
