Kyle Claunch, professor of systematic theology and elder at Kenwood Baptist Church, walks through the Five Points of Calvinism with clarity. He explains total depravity and spiritual deadness. He discusses unconditional election, predestination in Ephesians, and particular atonement. He closes with treatment of irresistible grace and perseverance, offering theological context and biblical texts.

A deep dive into Reformed theology and the five solas. Discussion of covenant theology and divine sovereignty, with readings from Ephesians on election and praise. Traces the Arminian controversy, the Remonstrants’ five points, and the Synod of Dort’s responses. Introduces TULIP and explores implications for evangelism and perseverance.

Michael Carlino, a doctoral student and instructor in Reformed theology, leads a session on Solus Christus focusing on Christ's active obedience (perfect law-keeping) and passive obedience (bearing penalty). He traces biblical proofs, explains imputation and federal headship using Romans 5, contrasts Reformed views with Roman Catholic ideas, and explores Gethsemane, the cup of wrath, and the unity of Christ's obedience and suffering.

A clear dive into Solus Christus and the Reformers' claim that Christ alone grounds justification. Discussion of Jesus as one person with two distinct natures and scriptural support from John 1 and Philippians 2. Historical controversies like Nestorianism and Monophysitism and Chalcedon’s response are examined. Connections to Reformation debates about Christ’s presence in the Lord’s Supper are highlighted.

A deep dive into sola gratia and what 'grace alone' means for justification. Discussion of faith as a gift rather than a meritorious work. Exploration of the order of salvation from regeneration to glorification. Close readings of Romans and Ephesians on imputation, the cross, and federal headship using Abraham and Adam as examples.

A clear walk through the Reformation dispute over justification, contrasting infusion and imputation of righteousness. Historical backstory from Augustine to Trent and the medieval church shapes the debate. Distinctions between justification, regeneration, and sanctification get examined. Faith is unpacked into knowledge, assent, and trust as its role in justification is explored.
