Real Christianity

If the Bible had a bloodline that led to the heart of its message, it would be Romans 3:20-26. Here, in these first few verses, we find the centerpiece of the Gospel—Jesus Christ. Like the sun of our solar system, the entire Bible rotates around this section of Scripture.

In this episode of Real Christianity, join pastor Dale Partridge as he preaches through this essential passage and discusses the pivotal Gospel mechanics of salvation.

In a world where children are surrounded by hundreds of expressions of sexual perversion, it’s imperative that Christian parents are intentional to guard the eyes and minds of their little ones. When it comes to transgenderism and homosexuality, the best defense is a good offense. Namely, Christian parents must affirm their child’s God-given gender identity. In addition, they must offer tangible and faithful examples of biblical marriage and family.

In this special edition of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge is joined by his wife Veronica Partridge to discuss Dale’s newest children’s book “Jesus and My Gender.”

Why do so many people in the church fall into legalism? What does the term legalist really mean? When viewing the law of God, it should drive us to a further understanding of how much Jesus Christ has paid through His sacrifice on the cross.

In this episode of Real Christianity, Pastor Dale Partridge continues his exposition of Romans 3:19-20 wrapping up the final portion of Paul’s denunciation of legalism. In the previous episode, Dale taught on the doctrine of Total Depravity, and how that affects our entire being and is proof of our total dependence on Christ. In this episode, we see how the law of God will hold everybody accountable on the day of judgment, and that it is only by the righteousness of Christ that we can be justified.

In this special edition of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge and pastor Joel Webbon tackle the doctrine of Covenant Succession (or expectant redemption). However, this doctrine, which is most commonly known as a Presbyterian position, is unpacked by two reformed Baptists making this discussion novel and important. Ultimately, this discussion is intended to offer hope to any Christian parent concerned for the souls of their children.

Outside of Christ, humanity is far more wicked than we know. If the heart and soul of a person is unregenerate, because their soul is separated from the source of life, which is God, then only death will flow out of them. When a person is alive in Christ, life will flow out of them.

In this episode of Real Christianity, Pastor Dale Partridge continues his exposition of Romans 3:9–18 in an effort to uncover the doctrine of Total Depravity. In the previous episode, Dale taught on the depravity of the mind, the ears, and the eyes of man. In this episode, we see how that depravity also saturates the body and the actions of man. Namely, we will see how depravity is total in its nature.

Self-love is blinding. Namely, it’s difficult for man to see his flaws when his view of himself is so lofty. The Bible solves this dilemma by offering a pure and precise view of man—including his fallenness and flaws.

According to Scripture, man’s central flaw is his spiritual deadness. A state of the soul that is not righteous, cannot comprehend the Gospel and does not seek for God. It’s a confirmation that no man can come to God without divine assistance.

In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge expounds on this biblical concept as he teaches through Romans 3:9-12.

The term “Christian Nationalism” has found the political spotlight in recent years. But what is Christian Nationalism and is this concept supported in Scripture? Namely, are Christians called to make Christian nations? Are they called to permeate a culture for Christ?

These questions are answered in this special edition episode where pastor Dale Partridge and pastor Jeff Durbin discuss the theological implications and validity of this religious label.

God’s people are a covenant people. However, being in the covenant community of the church does not necessarily mean that a person is born again, regenerate, and justified.

So if visible covenant inclusion does not equal salvation, what is the value of being in God’s covenant community? This exact question is anticipated by the Apostle Paul in Romans 3:1-4. Join pastor Dale Partridge as he exposits the meaning of this passage in this episode of Real Christianity.

Too often we put trust into religious actions to earn us good standing with God. However, this is opposite of what’s taught in Scripture. Only justification through faith in Christ alone can offer us peace with God.

In Romans 2:25-29, Paul is preparing his audience for this point. Namely, he is tearing down any and every religious practice that the Jews had placed redemptive hope. His focus in these verses is to strip them of their false understanding of circumcision and show them their need, not for a mark of the flesh, but for a change of the heart.

Over the years, I’ve met many people who know the Bible but do not know Christ. They know the Moral Law but do not know the Gospel. In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge continues to exposit Romans 2 around the issue of the Law.

Legalism, the practice of law-following to make yourself righteous before God, was and still is commonplace among the Jews. But more than that, it is commonplace among people within the church. In this passage of Scripture, Paul demonstrates how spiritual activity does not equal spiritual security. But more than that, he strips the religious people of this world of their false hope and presents them with their only hope of righteousness—Jesus Christ.
