The Practical Nature of Reformed Theology (Seminar)

Sometimes Reformed theology is characterized as involving abstract ideas about God that have no actual bearing on our day-to-day lives. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. In this seminar, Drs. Sinclair Ferguson, W. Robert Godfrey, and Michael Reeves emphasize the relevance, clarity, and comfort that Reformed theology provides for the Christian life and the life of the church.

  1. What does it mean when we say Reformed Theology? (0:00)
  2. Why would someone think that Reformed Theology isn’t practical? (3:16)
  3. How does Reformed Theology help with someone struggling with their assurance? (11:06)
  4. How does Reformed Theology help with severe and prolonged suffering? (15:50)
  5. How does Reformed Theology help us in decision making? (20:18)
  6. Does right doctrine always precede right living? (24:21)
  7. What would you say to someone who says, “I don’t need theology, I have Jesus.” (28:52)
