I had the enormous privilege of sitting down with Dr. Douglas Kelly, Professor of Systematic Theology at Reformed Theological Seminary in Charlotte, NC at the Twin Lakes Fellowship to get an interview for Christ the Center. The first volume of Dr. Kelly’s Systematic Theology has been published by Christian Focus. I was able to talk with Dr. Kelly about various aspects of the doctrine of the Trinity. You can listen to the Christ the Center episode here.

Not long after Twin Lakes, I was speaking with my mother (who greatly appreciates Dr. Kelly’s preaching and teaching ministry) about the interview. She gave me a sermon tape of a message Dr. Kelly gave at the dedication of Golden Isles Presbyterian Church on St. Simon’s Island, Ga (The church I went to as a teenager). There is a note of interest in Rev. Al Baker’s introduction of Dr. Kelly. The message was delivered in 1997. Al mentions the fact that Dr. Kelly was just about to take a sabbatical to work on a new book–his Systematic Theology. You can listen to this message here.

Of all the series that I have heard Sinclair Ferguson preach, I think that this was the finest.

You’ll also be interested to know that hundreds of the sermons Dr. Ferguson preached at First Presbyterian Church, Columbia, SC have been added to SermonAudio. This makes it a bit easier to download them than it was at the First Pres. website.

Here is the link to a great James Boice Sermon on a call for Theology in the church. It is based on Ephesians chapters 2 and 3. Boice affirms David Wells’ concern that the evangelical church has become worldly, and has abandoned God’s word. This is a superb message.

Here is the link to the sermon that Phil Ryken preached at Elijah’s baptism. The text was Jeremiah 36:1-36. It was a great sermon with a very creative ending. This particular sermon exalted the centrality and importance of the word of God more than any I have heard in quite a while. Our friends, the Helfands, were also having their son, Daniel, baptized at this service.
