Kitchen Table Theology
Where Coffee, Conversation, and Theology Meet. During my 40 years in ministry, I’ve developed an increasing burden for what I sense to be an increase in biblical illiteracy, not only among those in our churches, but also in the young men and women entering the ministry. Conversely, I am hopeful, because I also sense a hunger from people to learn and know biblical truth and the things of God has revealed to us in Scripture. Our Kitchen Table Theology team has developed a list of over 150 doctrinal topics which I, along with one of my cohosts, Jen Denton or Tiffany Coker, examine weekly. Our goal is to educate and share biblical truth on the same level as if we were sitting at your kitchen table with a Bible and a pot of southern pecan coffee in front of us. Welcome to the table!
Kitchen Table Theology
119 Translated Into The Kingdom
Pastor Jeff Cranston and Jen Denton continue their discussion on the 33 things that happen instantaneously at salvation. In this episode, they focus on the believer being given entrance into a new kingdom. This isn’t a reference to Wizard of Oz or any fantasy works but refers to when a child of God is removed, translated, and brought, from the realm and sphere of Satan’s dominion to that of the dominion of Christ. There are three main Bible verses to help us with these, so tune in!
