Kitchen Table Theology
Where Coffee, Conversation, and Theology Meet. During my 40 years in ministry, I’ve developed an increasing burden for what I sense to be an increase in biblical illiteracy, not only among those in our churches, but also in the young men and women entering the ministry. Conversely, I am hopeful, because I also sense a hunger from people to learn and know biblical truth and the things of God has revealed to us in Scripture. Our Kitchen Table Theology team has developed a list of over 150 doctrinal topics which I, along with one of my cohosts, Jen Denton or Tiffany Coker, examine weekly. Our goal is to educate and share biblical truth on the same level as if we were sitting at your kitchen table with a Bible and a pot of southern pecan coffee in front of us. Welcome to the table!

Episode Summary
Who is the most well-known or famous person you have ever met? No matter your answer, there is one person far greater than any celebrity any of us could ever meet: Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Son of God, the second member of the Trinity. Jesus is fully God. He is divine; He is eternal; He is deity. But He was also a man.
Topics We Discussed in this Episode
● [7:20] God is three persons. Each person is fully God. There is One God.
● [11:03] Jesus is divine. He is fully and wholly God.
● [13:22] Seventy-eight percent of Christians surveyed agreed with the statement that said Jesus was the first and greatest being created by God the Father.
● [23:30] If we believe Jesus was created, but still could save us, then we wrongly attribute the work of salvation to a creature and not to God Himself.
