Скачать или смотреть Reformed Pastors Discuss the Law and Gospel Distinction

In this episode Pastor Chris Gordon and guest Pastor Mike Abendroth discuss the critical distinction between the Law and Gospel. They explore why conversations about Christ can be less popular than discussions of the Law, and how a proper understanding of both is essential for a healthy Christian life. The discussion covers topics such as the motivation for obedience, the importance of a pastor's self-awareness of their own fallen nature, and the importance of preaching God's grace. They also discuss how the Law-Gospel distinction helps us interpret Scripture, from the books being opened in Revelation to Jesus turning water into wine in John 2. The conversation touches on practical applications for parenting and avoiding the self-righteous pitfalls of modern church culture, emphasizing that true biblical strength is found in many ways the world considers weak. They conclude by reflecting on what is most important to hear on one's deathbed: the good news of Christ.
