All right. So today's episode for sure is a little bit more in your face, as you can see it in the title.

But it's so important. Justin, I want to talk about preaching and really understanding scripture in general.

Explosatory preaching, exegetical, looking into the text. And we want to help you understand that if your conclusion is not Jesus,

then we're missing something. And we have reasons for that argument. That actually

come from Jesus and the apostles. So if your sermon is exegetically sound and historically

sound and the conclusion is not Jesus, we're here to argue with you. There's

something missing and therefore your sermon is actually empty. Stay tuned. Hey guys. This is Justin.

Maybe you know that you are forgiven because of Jesus Christ, but you're wondering,

what does Jesus have to do with my Christian life?

How is he involved in my sanctification even?

Or is he concerned at all with the ways that I struggle and the way that my life goes up and down?

Is there any comfort for me in Jesus when it comes to all of that?

Well, I've written a book called More Than Forgiven,

how being in Christ changes everything

that deals with this topic from Romans chapter 6. You can find this book at theocast.org.

Welcome to Theocast, encouraging weary pilgrims.

That's you, that's us, to rest in Christ.

He is mighty and able to save.

He loves us and he's for us.

We're going to have a conversation today about Christ, about the Christian life, about preaching,

about all these kinds of things from a confessional, reformed, and pastoral perspective. Your hosts today are John Moffitt, who is pastor of Grace Reformed Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee, and I'm Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina. We're going to try to get right to it today. So I'm going to be really quick with the announcements. If this podcast has been helpful to you or the videos have been helpful to you and you listen to us on a podcast platform or YouTube, do us a favor, leave us a review, subscribe, give us a thumbs up, likes, all those good things. It really does. It helps us out, but by saying it helps us out, really what it's doing is it's helping get this message of Christ in front of as many people as possible. You can have the opinions that you do about big tech, that it's of the evil one or whatever, but hey man, the Sons of Light can be shrewd.
