Hot off of Jimmy’s third sermon on Sunday, the guys sit down to discuss worshipping the Lord on the Sabbath and wrap up chapter 22 of the 1689 Confession. Where does sabbath worship originate? Why do Christians worship on Sunday? How should we “keep” the sabbath today? Plus, Jimmy is wrong—again, and Joe is now publicly credited as Jimmy’s best friend.

Jimmy is back to talk about The Masked Singer, but Joe works hard at keeping him focused on the value of small groups, a Twitter conversation started by Pastor Steve Meister, and the puritan discipline of Holy Conference.

Get the book Godly Conversations by Joanne Jung for a deep dive into the puritan practice of “holy conference.” Get it. You won’t be disappointed.

Happy Thanksgiving! In light of the American holiday, but because of the biblical call to praise god in thankfulness, Joe and Jimmy read from one of John Flavel’s sermon, The Seaman’s Return. Flavel argues that the thankful person 1) is an observer of the mercies he has received, 2) considers God’s mercies in their natures, degrees, seasons, and manner of conveyance, 3) duly estimates and values his mercies, 4) faithfully records His mercies, 5) is suitably affected with the mercies he receives, and 6) orders his conversation suitably to the engagements that his mercies have put him under. You can read his sermon here for free. Or, do what we did and the 6 volume set of The Works of John Flavel published by Banner of Truth.

The guys turn around and go back to the subject of Christian liberty to answer some questions sent in by listeners.
