Editorial Note: Keith doesn’t feel comfortable with all of the “love your pastor” talk going around JPBC. But sometimes – love hurts.

Pastor Rinne is the Senior Pastor of Southshore Baptist Church in Hingham, MA, gave a sermon...

What is the most challenging about the doctrine of election? How...

Learn MoreLast week’s sermon was on the weighty subject of God’s goodness and holiness. The theological point was to emphasize that God’s wrath is not an attribute. It is an action of God that flows out of his holiness, justice, and goodness. We praise a God who is good and righteous because he will judge and punish sin. We confess God is good all the time,...

This week’s sermon covered the first major genealogy and the the story of Noah. What should stand out about this story is not Noah, some animals, or a big boat, but rather God’s holiness and love. God is holy and just – which means he must exercises judgment and wrath upon sinners. God is love and gracious. He keeps a pair of each animals for the new...
