PRTS video courses online – Murray and Beeke

Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary have recently put videos of some of their lectures on YouTube. Courses up so far are:


Foundations of Counselling
(David Murray)
Leadership and Administration (David Murray)


Reformed Experiential Preaching (Joel Beeke)

Advanced Biblical Theology (Michael Barrett)
The Theology of Wilhelmus a Brakel (Bartel Elshout)

A couple of older ones they have are Baptist History (Michael Haykin), The World of the Bible (Michael Barrett), Second Reformation Theology in the Netherlands (Cornelius Pronk).

I’ve previously linked to 4 of David Murray’s courses which are available in audio format on SermonAudio.

Paul: not just a Systematic Theologian

Ottowa Theologica Hall have put together a few helpful videos, including one from Anthony Selvaggio on areas he feels have been neglected in Reformed studies of Paul. He says: “Sometimes we look at Paul as merely a Systematic Theologian rather than someone who suffered for Christ and teaches us what it is to live for Christ…The experiential, ministerial side of Paul is sometimes neglected because of our focus on the theological.”

Yet Systematic Theology is still important as Matt Kingswood explains:

The course descriptions on the OTH (Ottowa Theological Hall not Old Testament History!) site look interesting, eg:
“Marriage Counselling – This course will look at the problems in marriage, preserving marriage, getting to know your spouse, communication with your spouse, some of the killers of a marriage, and most importantly, how to make your marriage work even when you find yourself in the process of getting a divorce. The course is meant to be practical. We will look at actual situations most marriages face, and see how God would have us both face these situations and handle them in godly and loving ways that bring about godly and biblical change and glory to God.”

And here’s an enthusiastic welcome video!

Finally, here’s a Sermon Jam of Rich someone has put together:

Eight years after he spoke at the last ever Termonfeckin, Rich is still going strong, currently preaching a series on Freedom.

Training Pastors in Zambia

It’s a great opportunity to hear about some Reformed mission work in Africa. David is in the middle of a series of meetings, which after some time in Scotland has seen him speak at a Missionary Conference Weekend hosted by our friends at Magherafelt Reformed Baptist Church (on ‘The Importance of Training Pastors in Fulfilment of the Great Commission’ and Covenant College’s role in that task).

After Loughbrickland, he’ll be speaking in Bethel EPCEW in Cardiff and a number of churches in England.
