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?

There are two kinds of righteousness, what are they? Are we saved by good works, or are we saved to do good works? What does it mean to be righteous before God? What does it even mean to do a good work? Craig and Troy begin to unpack the thorny issue of doing good works.

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.

God encourages us to take off the old sinful self. Kill it, bury it, burn it, and to put on the new, which is life hidden away in Christ. It is the church's desire to put of the sinful, earthly things of the past and to put on the new heavenly things of Christ.

Well, it better be in Christ. Paul refutes the Colossian heresy by emphasizing Christ alone as the foundation of our faith, and how that faith is lived out through right belief and right practice. Our works, efforts, and merits count for nothing in the salvation equation.

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?

What's the deal with Christmas? Is the incarnation of Christ that big a deal? The answer is an unqualified yes. Craig and Troy talk about the importance of the incarnation and the heresies that denied it. Listen for Mary as the mother of God, for two boards glued together, and for drops of wine in the ocean. Merry Christmas to you from For You Radio!

John the Baptist unfailingly and unflinchingly points to Jesus, even from the womb. From the womb to the tomb, he points to Jesus. How did John know that Jesus was the promised Messiah, and what did he do while he was waiting for Him to come?

Mary hears the word of God and then waits on the Word of God to be born from her womb. What shall we say, is Mary the Mother of God? And if so, what does that mean? Craig and Troy talk about Jesus taking on our flesh to be our savior.

Why make Christmas a time of rushing and dashing around, when instead we could enter into a quiet time of the waiting of Advent? Craig and Troy discuss what it means to wait for Jesus' coming, both His first coming and His second coming.
