  • Solving The Puzzle of Ancient Man I: E.T. vs. Nimrod »
    by Doug Phillips
    In many ways, modern man’s fascination with UFOs and alien life forms has become a replacement religion for Christianity. With strong roots in the evolutionary hypothesis, a growing number of scientists, laymen, and cultural leaders have embraced the notion that life on earth was established or supplemented by extraterrestrials or that human civilization was altered through contact with ancient astronauts. To support this thesis, they look to amazing examples of ancient technologies and unusual archaeological evidence that points to the advanced nature of ancient man. In this timely message, Doug Phillips provides some fresh insights into the remarkable development of ancient civilizations and trains Christians on how to deconstruct and rebut the “Alien Hypothesis.”

  • What Every Christian Needs to Know about the Reformation »
    by Dr. Joe Morecraft
    The Reformation transformed law and government, influenced science and civilizations, and restored theology to its biblical foundations. In opposition to medievalism and Renaissance and Enlightenment theologies, the presuppositionally biblical worldview emphasis implicit to Reformation thinking remains the necessary platform for a righteous cultural witness and blessing on the Church. To understand the impact of the Reformation, one must first grasp the men, movements, and theologies that made it great. The purpose of this message is to give the student of history a concise, powerful, and precise understanding of the most important events and themes of the Reformation.
  • The Global Influence of John Calvin »
    by Dr. Joe Morecraft
    Who was the true founding father of America? The answer is John Calvin. More than any man in modern history, Calvin’s understanding of Scripture, law, and society laid the foundation for our Republican system of government and its relationship to the government of the family and the government of the Church. But his influence is not limited to the United States. From the Geneva of his day, to Huguenot France, to Knox’s Scotland, to Puritan England, Calvin’s vision transformed the modern world. Despite this fact, few Christians today know more about John Calvin than his name, a name which they associate with intolerance and legalism. Now the record is set straight. Learn how one man with a passionate love for Scripture and a commitment to systematic biblical thinking taught the world to rejoice in the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
  • The Remarkable Life of Oliver Cromwell »
    by Dr. Joe Morecraft
    Follow the providential story of how a humble farmer turned statesman, trained one of the most disciplined, steadfast, and undefeatable band of warriors the world has ever known, and ultimately led them to victory against the tyrannical reign of King Charles I, as well as a season in England’s history when the civil magistrate boldly extolled the virtue of government by biblical principles. Oliver Cromwell’s uncompromising commitment to Christian orthodoxy laid the foundation for a bright and far-reaching vision for limited civil government, the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and the Law of God as the only standard of justice, righteousness, and truth. Learn why Oliver Cromwell was arguably one of the most influential and controversial men in all of the history of Christendom.
  • The History of the English Church »
    by Dr. Joe Morecraft
    One of the most thrilling episodes in the unfolding history of Christianity and the West is the story of the Protestant Reformation in England. Join us for an epic journey from the heroics of Wycliffe and Tyndale, to the tumultuous reign of Henry VIII and his split with Rome, to the terror of the butcher queen Bloody Mary, through the many faces of Anglicanism under the Stuart monarchs, to the glorious triumph of the Puritans in the seventeenth century.
  • The History of the Scottish Church »
    by Dr. Joseph Morecraft
    From “killing fields” to covenants, Scottish believers retained a rigorous commitment to biblical orthodoxy and faithfulness before the flames of persecution. The illustrious history of the Scottish church, replete with tragedy and triumph, is the story of larger-than-life heroes like the indomitable John Knox, and of common men, women, and children sold into slavery in the East India sugar plantations by tyrannical monarchs. The disproportionately high number of world-transforming Christian missionaries, teachers, leaders, scientists (in population percentage comparison with other nations) which emerged from the Scots, is testimony to the covenantal blessings bestowed by God on those who take Him and His Word seriously.
