In this episode, Steven, Jeremias, and Andrew explore the kingship of God in the book of Exodus.

They contrast Yahweh’s authority with ancient Near Eastern views of gods and kings—especially Egypt’s deification of Pharaoh. Key topics include the spiritual symbolism of the plagues, God’s judgment on Egypt’s gods, the significance of Moses’ name, and the progression of Israel from a people to a nation under God’s name at Sinai.

The conversation also touches on modern misconceptions of worship and faith, showing how Exodus lays the theological groundwork for relationship, reverence, and obedience to the one true God.

In this opening episode, Steven, Jeremias, and Andrew begin Semester 1, "God's Kingship," a 16-week exploration of the Godhead throughout scripture by examining the foundational texts of Genesis.

Topics include God’s uniqueness as sole Creator, the contrast between biblical creation and ancient Near Eastern mythologies, the establishment of divine kingship, the nature of covenant, and the theological significance of Adam, Abraham, and the fall.

Special attention is given to how Genesis frames humanity’s relationship with God and lays the groundwork for biblical revelation and redemption.

Welcome to The Apostolic Classroom. This podcast exists to provide a space for serious, Apostolic teaching and thoughtful engagement with scripture. In this introductory episode, we outline the purpose and structure of the program, introduce the panel, and explain our intent to approach doctrinal and theological topics through long-form discussion rooted in biblical studies.

Our first series will span sixteen episodes, exploring the Godhead throughout the entirety of scripture—from Genesis to the New Testament. We also take time to examine a contemporary teaching that reflects a broader trend of theological missteps, underscoring the need for sound, Apostolic instruction.

Thank you for joining us at the outset of this project. We invite you to journey with us as we pursue truth through the lens of scripture.
