Lectures
Introduction to 5 Solas
The Five Solas are five Latin phrases that summarize the core theological convictions of the 16th-century Protestant Reformation, where the word "sola" translates to "alone" or "only." The Protestant Reformers did not see these principles as new inventions, but rather as a vital recovery of the original Christian gospel, which they believed had been obscured by centuries of medieval church traditions, papal authority, and human rituals. By championing these five pillars, the Reformers sought to shift the focus of faith away from a man-centered system of earning salvation and place it entirely back onto the grace and authority of God. The Lecture is Rev. Dr. Jordan B. Cooper
Patrology
Patrology is the study of the lives, teachings, and writings of the early Christian Church Fathers, key figures like St. Augustine, St. Jerome, and Origen. Often used interchangeably with patristics, it examines how these ancient leaders shaped early Christian doctrine, biblical interpretation, and church history from roughly the 1st to the 8th century.
Penal Substitutionary Atonement
Penal Substitutionary Atonement (PSA) is a Christian doctrine stating that Jesus Christ died on the cross as a substitute to bear the penalty and wrath of God due for human sin, thereby satisfying divine justice and enabling forgiveness.
Romans
A lecture series through Paul’s Epistle to the Romans.
Systematic Theology
Lutheran systematic theology is all about the good news of how God saves helpless sinners. Instead of focusing on God's absolute power or human free will, it centers entirely on Jesus Christ and the comfort of forgiveness. At its core, Lutheranism strictly separates God's word into two parts: the Law, which exposes our sin and shows us we cannot save ourselves, and the Gospel, which promises that Jesus has done all the work for us. Lutherans believe we are saved by grace alone through faith alone—not by our own good deeds or spiritual choices. God gives us this faith and forgiveness through real, physical means: the spoken word of the Bible, Baptism, and the Lord's Supper. Ultimately, every single teaching in Lutheran theology points back to one main truth: Christ died for your sins, and salvation is a free gift.
