Craig and Troy tackle an issue that has caused so many. first-year seminarians untold sleepless nights: When Jesus was tempted, could He actually have sinned?
As they continue to discuss good works, Craig and Troy bring in two theological systems: the Theology of Glory and Theology of Cross. How do these things relate to good works? What does it mean to have a Theology of Glory? To whom should we ascribe glory?

As Paul closes out the letter to the Colossians, he mentions a number of names. Often, we're inclined to just skip over those and forget them. But their work is not forgotten, and neither is yours.

No, not that one . . . this is the other "s" word that no one wants to hear: submit. Paul instructs spouses, families, and the workplace in how God intends for society to properly function. It is a matter of freely giving to one another and faithfully acting according to your vocation.

Paul wants to tell the church in Colossae two things: one, that Jesus Christ suffered for them and serves them, and that two, Paul is following the footsteps of Christ. Pastor Paul has the heart of the Shepherd, and in fact cannot do anything apart from Jesus.

Based upon Paul's opening hymn in Collosians, Craig and Troy discuss how the Christian faith is a flesh-and-blood faith, and always will be. The incarnational reality of Christ and His creation means that the faith is not simply spiritual. What can it mean when the Bible says Jesus is that which holds all things together?
