On the Inspiration and Authority of the Old Testament – Dr Bob Gonzales

In the fall, I delivered 20 lectures as “part one” of a course entitled “Introduction to the Old Testament.” I’m scheduled to teach “part two” this May at MCTS in Kentucky. The audio lectures for part one have been uploaded to RBS Virtual Campus. We’re in the process of uploading the video lectures, which include a Keynote presentation to accompany each lecture. For a sample, I’ve posted my lecture “On the Inspiration and Authority of the Old Testament” below, and I’d like to invite you to listen, watch, and enjoy. Read more »

“Profiting from God’s Word”: A Meditation by Pastor Greg Nichols

As we transitioned to a “new year,” many of us resolved to spend more quality time in the Scriptures.

Are NT Prophecy and Tongues for Today? Two Part Audio Series by Dr. Bob Gonzales Jr.

Last year, I was asked to serve as a visiting lecturer in Roanoke, Virginia. I delivered two lectures on the question of whether NT prophecy and tongues are for today. The lectures were part of a course on pneumatology taught by Pastor Randy Pizzino. Some weeks prior to my lecture slot, Pastor Pizzino had invited Bruce Chick of Sovereign Grace Community Church to present the continuationist position. The task assigned to me was to present an argument for cessationism. The lectures are available on the Internet. For those interested in listening to and/or downloading the lectures, click on the links below. Read more »
