Together in the Word is an audio devotional that was started by Treasure Coast Presbyterian Church in Stuart, one of our sister churches in the PCA. They asked me to be a regular contributor and I was delighted to join in with them. Each entry is a short (4-5 minute) Bible lesson going through the book of 1 Peter a few verses at a time. Each lesson includes links to worship songs and a list of discussion questions. The lessons are designed with family worship in mind, but they are suitable for any age or even for personal use. You can access the first 5 entries on our website here: http://www.sandharborpca.org/togetherintheword
The ZOOM meeting will start at 2:00 pm on Wednesday and you can join the meeting here: us04web.zoom.us/j/9167492638

Catekids Reading Room is meant to be a video based catechism (that’s just a fancy word that means “teaching tool”) resource for children. Think of it like a virtual children's Sunday school class. My hope is that I will be able to film a session where I sit down with my own kids as we (1) listen to a Bible story from solid Christian children’s literature, (2) learn a catechism question from the New City Catechism, (3) memorize a related Bible verse using the Fighter Verse App, and (4) sing a verse from a related hymn/song. This is definitely an experiment, so we’ll have to see if I can edit out the crying and screaming that may take place in the course of filming!

Presbyterians in Quarantine Drinking Coffee is a theology videocast that is going to work through explaining various theological topics in a discussion based format. Our own Mark Murnan is going to moderate a discussion between myself and Pastor Wes Lauver (Cornerstone PCA in Palm Beach Gardens) through the book Concise Theology by J.I. Packer. Each episode will feature a different theological topic as we will seek to make it understandable and practical.

Dead Theologians Society is my attempt to introduce (or reintroduce) you to some of the richest devotional material from my favorite pastors and theologians of the past. Church History is a gold mine of devotional material that is often neglected and unexplored. C.S. Lewis says that every age tends to be guilty of “chronological snobbery” by which he means that we think that “newer” and “modern” is always better. But what we often need is to open a window into our theological heritage and let the fresh sea-breeze of the centuries blow into our modern minds. I plan to record a reading each week of a sermon or article or excerpt from a variety of my favorite pastors and theologians so that you can listen to it as you would an audiobook or a sermon. I plan to start with the essay “Sickness” by J.C. Ryle for this Saturday. You’ll be able to access this material on our website here: http://www.sandharborpca.org/dead-theologians-society
sundays @ 9:30am
The Inklings group is going to continue to meet but we have moved the time to Sunday mornings from 9:30 - 10:30 am and we will be using the video conferencing tool ZOOM. We will continue discussing The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis picking up where we left off with letter 10. If you haven’t joined us up to this point, there has never been a better time to start and I can almost guarantee that your schedule has a little bit more margin these days!
