Ep 173Ephesians Bible Study Part 2: Our Identity in Christ
In a generation of Christians who struggle with identity and value, Ephesians chapter one offers the believer a treasure of truth. In this study, pastor Dale Partridge looks to verses 1:3-6 and unpacks the rich blessings given to Christians in Christ.
Ep 172Ephesians Bible Study Part 1: The Treasury of the Saints
Ephesians is known as “The Bank of the Believer” or the “Treasury of the Saints” because of it’s dense population of promises for the Christian. In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge starts an eight-week study through the book of Ephesians in hopes to bring believers deep into hope we have in Christ.
Ep 171The Kind of Men the Church Needs
The current political climate has revealed the character of many men in the church. It has shown the courageous and the cowards, the bold and the blind. Fortunately, trials, persecution, and cultural hostility tend to make the dividing lines more clear. That is, we can see clearly who stands with the world and who stands with Christ. But what has also been clarified is how few true, biblical, faithful ministers are out there. We have been made aware of the great need for more mission-minded, Gospel-focused, and Bible-committed men. In this episode, pastor Dale Partridge calls for these type of men in his commencement speech delivered at the 2021 graduation for Reformation Seminary.
Ep 170Standing For Truth at Holiday Gatherings
It has been said that two topics are not permitted at holiday family gatherings: Religion and politics. But is this a biblical perspective? Should Christians refrain from these often emotionally charged topics at holiday gatherings? In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge explains why he believes silence is not an option and how Christians have a duty to speak the truth in love.
Ep 169What is Biblical House Church? (2021 Edition)
As we begin to see an increase in cultural hostility against the evangelical church, more Christians are searching for alternative but biblical expressions to the traditional corporate church. In this episode, pastor Dale Partridge talks about the biblical house church and how it might be just the right solution for this next generation of Christians. Listen to Dale answer five common questions about house church and see if gathering in homes is right for you.
Ep 168A Christian Defense for the Celebration of Christmas
For some, it may be shocking to find out that some Christians refuse to celebrate Christmas. It’s true. Some Christians believe that Christmas is rooted in paganism and have chosen to abstain as an act of personal holiness. While we celebrate the freedom we have in Christ to make such a choice, we also believe in the call to reason with one another in love. In this episode, pastor Dale Partridge looks at the Doctrine of Days, the history of the church, and the Bible to present three reasons Christians should continue to celebrate and commemorate the incarnation of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Ep 167Spiritual Death, Spiritual Life, and the Need to be Born-Again
Soteriology is the study of salvation in Scripture. Unfortunately, most Christians don’t have a robust comprehension of how they were saved. That is, they don’t understand the biblical process of lost and found or spiritually dead and spiritually alive. In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge takes listeners through a systematic study of what it truly means to be born-again.
Ep 166Why Does God Allow Evil in the World?
It’s not secret, we live in a sinful and evil world. People all around us are suffering. The world is filled with pain and hatred and violence. In addition, we also have disease, sickness, and failing bodies. In short, we live on a sin saturated planet. But if God is truly loving, all-powerful, and good, why does He allow such evil to remain? In other words, what’s the purpose of evil? In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge turns to the Scriptures to examine these questions and respond with answered backed by the Bible.
Ep 1657 Ways to Prepare Your Children for the Spiritual War that Awaits Them.
The spiritual preparation parents received as children is not sufficient for the next generation of children. The changing political landscape and increasing hostility toward biblical principles will make life more difficult for future Christians. As parents, we must equip our children to remain faithful in the face of adversity. In this episode of real Christianity, Pastor Dale Partridge offers parents seven actions that will prepare children for the spiritual war that awaits them.
Ep 164Should Christians Celebrate Halloween?
Each year thousands of Christians and churches celebrate Halloween by dressing up and eating tasty treats. However, many other Christians have reservations about Halloween claiming it to be a holiday of spiritual darkness. In today’s episode, pastor Dale Partridge not only offers listeners the history of Halloween but also looks at the Scriptures to locate helpful principles for Christians looking to better understand the spiritual implications of this holiday.
Ep 163Conquering Anxiety Through Gospel Promises
The past two years have introduced a greater pace of change, pain, and brokenness to our world. There is no shortage of issues to be concerned. But how should Christians conduct themselves during such tumultuous times? How can we fight against the tendency to well up worry and fear about the future? In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge exposits Matthew 6:25-34 in an attempt to clarify Jesus’ teaching on the issues of anxiety.
Ep 162A Biblical Argument Against Vaccine Passports for the Local Church
In last week’s episode, Pastor Dale Partridge offered a biblical argument against vaccine mandates. This week, Dale refutes the growing idea of requiring vaccine passports for entrance
Ep 161A Biblical Case Against Vaccine Mandates
How are Christians to think about government-sanctioned vaccination mandates? What does the Bible say about the body of a Christian? Do we have biblical grounds to deny a forced vaccinations? In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridges tackles these questions with Scripture and offers three principles to support Christians in their examination of the vaccination issue.
Ep 160Sustaining Hope in the Growing Darkness of our World.
The world is growing darker and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to exude love and joy when everything seems to be in rebellion against our God. In this episode, pastor Dale Partridge offers both explanation and encouragement for believers living in these perilous times.
Ep 159How To Drag Your Hidden Sin To The Light
We all, at times, find ourselves struggling to conquer a particular sin. The Bible, however, does not leave us in the dark on how to harness the power of the light. In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge shares the process laid out in Scripture for confession of sin.
Ep 158The Duty to Forgive—No Matter How Difficult
Forgiveness is at the core of our relationship with God and our relationship with others. The Bible speaks firmly about the Christian’s duty to forgive, but how far does this duty extend? Are we to forgive any and all sins committed against us? If so, why? Pastor Dale Partridge unpacks this issue by looking at a parable shared in the Gospel of Matthew.
Ep 157An Example Presentation of the Gospel.
Many of us will have the opportunity to present the Gospel. But the Gospel can be presented in one minute or five hours. Therefore, which version of the Gospel is most common to conversational evangelism? In this episode, pastor Dale Partridge shares a 15-20 minute version of the Gospel he used in a conversation several months ago.
Ep 1563 Theological Flaws of the Prosperity Gospel
When it comes to health, the prosperity Gospel promises that the strength of our faith equals the strength of our health. In other words, if we want to be well, we must simply increase our faith and healing will come. But is this a biblical view of faith and healing? Pastor Dale Partridge tackles this question and more in this episode of Real Christianity.
Ep 1553 Biblical Principles To Consider Before You Move
With millions of Christian families relocating, how should we be thinking about relocation? Is it really just preference or is there something more? In this episode, pastor Dale Partridge shares the three biblical principles his family used while planning their relocation.
Ep 154Does God Really Love Everyone the Same?
Our culture is working hard to redefine love. Additionally, this distorted view of love is only one-dimensional. But, according to Scripture, God’s definition of love is not so simple. In fact, we quickly see that God’s love is multi-dimensional. But what does that mean? How is God’s love expressed in humanity? Pastor Dale Partridge answers these questions and more on this episode of Real Christianity.
Ep 153Why Study Systematic Theology
Most modern Christians have a disconnected, isolated, and unsystematic approach to Scripture. This, for many reasons, causes serious problems. In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge explains why Christians should work to develop a systematic view of Scripture.
Ep 152Are you Stealing God’s Glory?
re you hungry for compliments, applause, or praise from men? Is your work ethic motivated by public affirmation rather than God’s approval? In this episode, pastor Dale Partridge discusses how we can evaluate if we are robbing God of the glory for the work He accomplishes through us.
Ep 151The Sin That Burns Down Homes
Fire is safe when it’s in its proper location—a fireplace. But when fire operates outside of a fireplace it destroys everything. The same is true of sexuality. God has a design for our sexuality and when we operate outside of that design it destroys much. Join pastor Dale Partridge as he discusses the Bible’s commands for our sexuality.
Ep 150Preaching the Gospel with Scripture
Too often, when preaching the Gospel to friends and family, we lean on whit or reason and not on the only tool that is capable of generating conversion in the hearts of men and women—the Word of God. Join Dale Partridge as he discusses biblical evangelism in this episode of Real Christianity.
Ep 149A Call to Speak Reverently of God
Christians mouths have been infected with causal culture. That is, they have accepted a standard of language around church, theology, and worship that is irreverent and inaccurate. In this episode, pastor Dale Partridge discusses our call to speak of God only in ways that are reflective of His biblically revealed character.
