Christ's Intercession: A Neglected Doctrine

12/13/21 • 21 min

Christ's intercession is one of the most nourishing and simultaneously most neglected doctrines in Christian theology. In this video I give an overview of what it means and then recount three practical uses of the doctrine. The thumbnail picture is from "Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane" by Arkhip Ivanovich Kuindzhi.

Purgatory: A Protestant Perspective

Roman Catholic apologists often appeal to church history to support Catholic teaching concerning purgatory. Many Protestants are less familiar with church history on this question, and tend to focus on making biblical arguments. In this video I offer an overview of a Protestant perspective on purgatory, putting special focus on the development of this doctrine throughout church history.
