Understand the Cross | Episode 23

Pastors Randy and Andy discuss five ways to understand the cross. The bottom line is that the cross is an invitation to live life as it is, not as we wish it to be. This is faith, this is trust, and its result is joy.
 
Article XX — Of the One Oblation of Christ, Finished upon the Cross
The offering of Christ, once made, is that perfect redemption, propitiation, and satisfaction for all the sins of the whole world, both original and actual; and there is none other satisfaction for sin but that alone. Wherefore the sacrifice of masses, in the which it is commonly said that the priest doth offer Christ for the quick and the dead, to have remission of pain or guilt, is a blasphemous fable and dangerous deceit.

Of Both Kinds | Episode 22

Randy and Andy break down article 19 of the Articles of Religion and discuss how the church and the sacrament is an open table to all who want to come to faith.
 
Article XIX — Of Both Kinds
The cup of the Lord is not to be denied to the lay people; for both the parts of the Lord's Supper, by Christ's ordinance and commandment, ought to be administered to all Christians alike.

About the Lord's Supper | Episode 21

Randy and Andy marvel at how the Holy Communion liturgy declares that heaven and earth are full of God’s glory. Heaven AND earth! Heaven shines through if only we have the eyes to see it.
 
Article XVIII — Of the Lord's Supper
The Supper of the Lord is not only a sign of the love that Christians ought to have among themselves one to another, but rather is a sacrament of our redemption by Christ's death; insomuch that, to such as rightly, worthily, and with faith receive the same, the bread which we break is a partaking of the body of Christ; and likewise the cup of blessing is a partaking of the blood of Christ.
 
Transubstantiation, or the change of the substance of bread and wine in the Supper of our Lord, cannot be proved by Holy Writ, but is repugnant to the plain words of Scripture, overthroweth the nature of a sacrament, and hath given occasion to many superstitions.
 
The body of Christ is given, taken, and eaten in the Supper, only after a heavenly and spiritual manner. And the mean whereby the body of Christ is received and eaten in the Supper is faith.
 
The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was not by Christ's ordinance reserved, carried about, lifted up, or worshiped.

About Baptism | Episode 20

Randy and Andy talk about how Baptism is not as much about us choosing God as it is about God having already chosen us.
 
Article XVII — Of Baptism
Baptism is not only a sign of profession and mark of difference whereby Christians are distinguished from others that are not baptized; but it is also a sign of regeneration or the new birth. The Baptism of young children is to be retained in the Church.
