1. How are we to understand election in Romans 9? What does it mean that God loved Jacob and hated Esau?
  2. Riley and Gillespie dig into the Doctor Angelicus and his catechism on Baptism.
  3. All views of election and predestination are not equal. These are doctrines meant to comfort and provide assurance.
  4. Paul roots the Christian’s death to the law in baptism and makes a scandalous claim that the law arouses sin in people.
  5. Should we sin because we are not under law? How do you talk about the law, the gospel and grace in light of the fact that we still sin?
  6. Paul sees an objection to the gospel he just laid out in chapter 5 coming and gets in front of it. Should we sin to increase grace?
  7. Paul describes the relationship between Adam/Sin and Jesus/righteousness. Why is a clean slate not enough?
  8. On episode EIGHTY-FOUR of Let the Bird Fly! Mike and Wade welcome Dr. Ned Farley to discuss Anthropology, a topic he knows more than a thing or two about.
  9. Caleb and Scott Keith sit down and answer and a handful of listener questions. Topics include particular sins, where should I go to church, is God Father Loving?
  10. Scott and Caleb are joined by Drs. Jim Nestingen and Steve Paulson to discuss confession and absolution.
  11. All of these episodes should be personal, to some extent. After all, these aren't static, other-worldly doctrines but we are dealing with the message of life itself. But there is something especially personal about taking the whole theological enterprise and focusing it on your own particular problem: sin. And not abstract sin, but the real stuff.
  12. Our goal is to proclaim the genuine good news—that’s what “Gospel” means—of Christ’s forgiveness for you. We do not offer you better tips, techniques or checklists. Instead, You Are Forgiven is sermons by faithful pastors who will clearly show how you cannot be forgiven by your own efforts, no matter how well you do on your homework, your checklist of tasks. But they will also show how you are actually and already forgiven because Jesus has done all that is needed, for you!
