O. Palmer Robertson | Christ of the Consummation: Acts and Paul
Dr. O. Palmer Robertson joins Camden Bucey to discuss his newest book, Christ of the Consummation, Volume 2: The Testimony of Acts and Paul. Building on the legacy of Geerhardus Vos, Robertson shows how the testimony of the early church—empowered by the Spirit—proclaimed Christ to Jew and Gentile alike. From Pentecost to Paul’s missionary journeys, from household baptisms to soaring prison epistles, this episode traces the redemptive-historical unfolding of God’s Word. Robertson explains why biblical theology is the vital “nerve system” connecting exegesis and doctrine, how Paul’s letters fall into three key phases, and why every New Testament book points us to the hope of Christ’s return. Whether you’re a pastor, student, or simply longing to see Christ in all of Scripture, this conversation will encourage you to persevere in faith, proclaim the Gospel with confidence, and live with expectant hope of His coming. 00:07 Introduction 07:02 Describing Biblical Theology 10:37 The Book of Acts 12:25 The Inclusion of the Gentiles 21:02 The Historical Progression of Paul's Letters 26:14 Paul's Eschatology 32:51 Deep Theology and Practical Application 35:47 The Expectation of Christ's Return 41:35 The Original Apostolic Witnesses 52:27 Conclusion

The Book of Daniel, Part 9
On today’s episode of Theology Simply Profound, Rob and Bob continue to walk through the Book of Daniel. We discuss the faithfulness of God's people in the midst of fiery trials. In Daniel 3, King Nebuchadnezzar is furious with Shdrach, Meshach, and Abednego for not bowing down to the giant golden statue of the king. Their punishment is to be thrown into a furnace heated 7 times greater than normal. In the face of this death sentence, the three friends of Daniel trust their God no matter what may come. In the midst of it all, the Lord proves faithful even as he is with them in the midst of the fire in the person of the pre-incarnate Son of God.

Vos Group #102 — Faith as Related to the Kingdom’s Power
In this installment of Vos Group, Camden Bucey and Lane Tipton explore Geerhardus Vos’s treatment of “faith as the correlate of kingdom power” from pages 387–390 of Biblical Theology. Moving beyond vague spiritualism or self-generated “manifestation,” they unpack Vos’s insight that faith is not a creative force but a receptive grace. Faith does not actualize the kingdom—it receives it. Christ’s miracles reveal the omnipotent power of God in redemptive form—beneficent and gracious acts for the good of sinners. These miracles elicit trust not because of any magical quality in faith itself, but because they manifest the glory and compassion of the Redeemer who speaks them into being. Faith, then, is the Spirit-given response of the regenerate heart—a resting and receiving upon the miracle-working Christ who is both the author and perfecter of our faith. In contrast to modern distortions that treat faith as self-empowerment, Vos directs us to the true object of faith—Christ alone. Faith is entirely dependent on divine omnipotence and grace. It is the instrument by which we are united to Christ and brought to maturity in him, sustained by the same omnipotent power that once stilled the storm and raised the dead. 00:07 Introduction 06:32 Faith and the Kingdom 10:13 Faith Is the Corresponding Response to God’s Power 12:26 Miracles Are Beneficent and Elicit Trust 16:57 The Power of the Word 22:59 The Elements of Saving Faith 29:12 Unbelief 34:24 Preaching Christ without Doctrine 37:01 The Offense of Unbelief 41:36 The Vocabulary of Faith 50:30 Conclusion
Reformed Forum supports the church in presenting every person mature in Christ (Colossians 1:28) by providing Reformed theological resources to pastors, scholars, and anyone who desires to grow in their understanding of Scripture and the theology that faithfully summarizes its teachings.
