  • Biblical Doctrine: The Doctrine of Glorification

    Biblical Doctrine: The Doctrine of Glorification
    Oct 25 2024
    This week on This is Wildwood, Bruce joins us again to wrap up this mini-series walking through our statement of faith about our great salvation (Hebrews 2:3). Within the larger series of going through our full doctrinal statement, we have spent the last few weeks talking through the doctrines of justification, adoption and sanctification. Hebrews 7:25 says, “Consequently, He is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.” Praise the LORD, that Jesus is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to…

    Biblical Doctrine: The Doctrine of Sanctification
    Oct 22 2024
    This week we continue in our series walking through the doctrinal statement! Over the past couple of weeks we have walked through different aspects of salvation: justification and adoption. This week, we look at sanctification with Pastor John Abernethy. May the doctrine of sanctification both encourage and strengthen you in you faith and walk with the LORD. If you are a believer in Christ, the Bible teaches that you are already sanctified (definitive sanctification), but that our sanctification is a present-on going reality as we are sanctified more and more and renewed day by day. Join us as we learn…

  • Biblical Doctrine: The Doctrine of Adoption

    Biblical Doctrine: The Doctrine of Adoption
    Oct 4 2024
    This week, we welcome on Jon Dunton, one of our pastors at Wildwood to discuss the Doctrine of Adoption! The doctrine of adoption teaches that God in His grace and mercy condescends and bestows upon unworthy sinners the glories of His wondrous adoption by receiving them into the number of His children, putting His name upon them, giving them the Spirit of His Son, and making them heirs of all the promises, to the praise of His glorious grace. We talked about justification last week, and this is the doctrine by which God makes the justification His beloved children with…

  • Biblical Doctrine: The Doctrine of Justification

    Biblical Doctrine: The Doctrine of Justification
    Sep 27 2024
    On this week’s episode we begin unpacking the glories of the great salvation that we have on account of the work of Jesus Christ. The Bible uses the word ‘salvation’ and ‘saved’ many times, but did you know that not every time the Bible uses this word it doesn’t always refer to the same aspect of salvation. For example compare Romans 8:24, Philippians 2:12, and Romans 13:11. If you used the same definition of salvation for each one of these verses, it wouldn’t make sense. Romans 8:24 talks about the justification of a believer, Philippians 2:12 talks about the sanctification…

  • Biblical Doctrine: Christology (The Person & Work of Christ)

    Biblical Doctrine: Christology (The Person & Work of Christ)
    Sep 20 2024
    There are a lot of misconceptions in the world, and even in the church about who the person of Jesus is! Some say Jesus is just a good moral teacher, some say Jesus was just a prophet, some say Jesus was just a human and much more. But, we declare that Jesus is the eternal Son of God and the true Creator of all things. That Jesus is truly God and truly man. That He is the KING OF KINGS and LORD OF LORDS (Revelation 19:16), that He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint…

  • Biblical Doctrine: Humanity, the Fall of Man, Sin and its Punishment

    Biblical Doctrine: Humanity, the Fall of Man, Sin and its Punishment
    Sep 13 2024
    On this week’s episode, Abe Mahner joins us as we talk about the doctrine of sin. At Wildwood, we believe and teach that according to Genesis 1, all mankind was created in the image and likeness of God, and designed to reflect the character of their Creator. But, through Adam humanity sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God. Romans 3:11-12 is clear, “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not…

  • Biblical Doctrine: Of Creation

    Biblical Doctrine: Of Creation
    Sep 6 2024
    This week, we continue our series walking through our doctrinal statement as we talk through the wondrous truth that God created the world! We believe and confess that “The work of creation is God’s making all things of nothing, by the word of His power, in the space of six days, and all very good.” (Westminster Shorter Catechism Question 9) In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, and this is something that separates us from many in this world who believe that nothing created this world or that the world is eternal! The testimony of Scripture, which…
