Episode 5 · Length: 1 hr 1 min
What does it mean to trust in Christ alone? In Episode 5, Gordan Runyan, David Morris, and Tom Miller discuss Solus Christus: Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and man. His work of redemption is complete. Starting with 1 Timothy 2:5–6, they explain why our Savior must be truly God, truly man, and without sin. The discussion covers Christ's finished sacrifice, his continued intercession, and the promise received through faith. The speakers examine claims about church authority, Peter's keys, and the priesthood of all believers. They also consider how pastors and other Christians can help people understand Scripture and point them to Christ. The central message is clear: Christ alone is sufficient for our salvation.
