Do we really know what prayer is? Is it a conversation with God? Is it manipulating God to our will? Or is it a futile gesture that is nothing more than virtue signaling in a crisis? We begin our look at the Lord’s Prayer with these questions.
Crucial Conversations 008 | Unreasonable Faith – The Large Catechism (Video)
“I believe that I cannot by my own reason or strength believe in Jesus Christ, my Lord, or come to Him; but the Holy Spirit has called me by the Gospel, enlightened me with His gifts, sanctified and kept me in the true faith.” Words of genius? Words of insanity? Maybe both?
Crucial Conversations 007 | Creeds…AND Deeds – The Large Catechism (Video)
We’ve learned that we cannot keep the 10 Commandments, no matter how we try. Thus we need the Creed to tell us where to look! Tonight we look at the first two parts of the Apostle’s Creed – God the Father and Jesus Christ the Son. Everything we believe is related to the three persons of the Trinity, so let’s study well!
Crucial Conversations 006 | I Really Really Really Love Myself – The Large Catechism (Video)
In the same way that breaking each commandment is breaking the first, breaking each commandment also breaks the last one. Our love of ourselves really comes home to roost tonight as we finish up the Ten Commandments and cover 7-10 all in one episode.
Crucial Conversations 005 | BONUS EPISODE! Dead Man Walking – The Law (Video)
Tonight we have a very special roundtable discussion on the Law. What is it? What is it not? How does it function? How do we rightly distinguish it? What happens when we get it wrong? What happens when we get it…right?
Crucial Conversations 004 | I Really Really Really Hate My Neighbor – The Large Catechism (Video)
We think it’s simple to love our neighbor. Or to at least make a decent attempt at it. But if we are honest, what we really love is ourselves! This week we talk about the 4th, 5th and 6th Commandments and what Luther and the Scriptures have to say about them.
Crucial Conversations 003 | The One About Words – The Large Catechism (Video)
It’s a double feature kind of show! Two Commandments in one. The Second, where God teaches us about our words. And the Third, where He teaches us about His Word. Join us as we continue our study of the Large Catechism and learn to think like confessors.
Crucial Conversations 002 | You are Not God – The Large Catechism (Video)
You shall have no other gods. Simple, right? Clear, and yet we are so creative in finding ways to break this commandment.
Crucial Conversations 001 | Preface and Introduction – The Large Catechism (Video)
Teaching you to think like a Confessor! In this episode we cover the Large Catechism from the Preface through line 29 of the First Commandment. Or, if you are following along in the Concordia Reader’s Edition, 2nd Edition, that would be pages 351-361.
