Joe and Jimmy are back, trying to figure out their new recording equipment. They discuss ecclesiology: how sone churches are better than others, but that all churches, even the healthiest ones, are “subject to mixture and error.” And that some “churches” are not churches at all. Nevertheless, the church of Jesus Christ will persevere and grow until our Lord returns. Plus, the guys recommend a few books on ecclesiology. Recommended Reading The Church by Edmund Clowney, Manual of Church Order by JL Dagg, Outgrowing the Ingrown Church by C. John Miller, The Church of Christ by James Bannerman, God Redeeming His Bride: A Handbook for Church Discipline by Robert Cheong, and What Is the Mission of the Church?

Joe and Jimmy are back on the mics talking about the coronavirus pandemic, the “shelter at home” order, and how churches are working to care for their people during this time. What are some of the good things that have come about because of the coronavirus? What specifically is Redeemer Fellowship doing to serve her people? Why is discipline and order important during all this forced downtime? And the guys revisit their problem with small group communion. Plus, Jimmy figures out how to use the “drop” feature on the new sound board. The 2020 Annual Conference It’s a good thing we scheduled our annual conference for the Fall this year!
