Founders Ministries exists for the recovery of the gospel and the reformation of churches. We have been providing resources for churches since 1982 through conferences, books, The Sword & The Trowel Podcast, video documentaries, online articles, a quarterly theological Journal, Bible studies, International church search, and our seminary level training program, the Institute of Public Theology. We believe that the biblical faith is inherently doctrinal, and we are therefore confessional in their convictions. You can learn more about Founders Ministries and how to partner with us at www.founders.org.

Jeff Johnson | Law and Gospel in Sanctification
Is the law of God binding on believers? Are Christians freed from the Ten Commandments? What is the relationship between Moses and Christ? Since the time of the Protestant Reformation, Evangelicals have emphasized the importance of a right understanding of the relationship between the law and the gospel. This emphasis is still needed today.
Tragically, the law of God has been neglected by many, and some churches even promote a gospel of lawlessness. While antinomianism is proclaimed by some, others preach the law with no mention of the grace of God, falling into legalism. Founders Ministries has been teaching a confessionally reformed and biblical view of the law and the gospel since 1983, and by God’s grace, will continue to do so. The need in the churches of God is as great now as it has ever been.
This sermon was given by Dr. Jeff Johnson on December 5, 2019 at the Founders "The Law and The Gospel" national conference in Cape Coral, Florida.

Mark Coppenger | Mature Manhood and Women
There is a crisis of biblical manhood in our day. Everywhere you look, there seems to be a gutting of mature manhood and the way men have been called to live as followers of Christ. John Piper says "The essence of Biblical Manhood is the benevolent responsibility to lead, provide for and protect women in ways that are appropriate to a man's differing relationships." Our prayer is that the talks from this conference would be used to strengthen men, help men thrive spiritually, help men kill sin, reform broken men by the power of Jesus Christ, train husbands, train fathers, and aid in raising young men up to be godly, gentle, strong, and holy, having 1 Timothy 3 character. For more resources on these topics, you can visit www.founders.org
This sermon was given by Dr. Mark Coppenger on June 10, 2019 at the "Mature Manhood in an Immature Age" 2019 Founders SBC event in Birmingham, Alabama.

Chad Vegas | Gospel Privilege and Global Missions
In recent years we have had a growing concern about “social justice.” What is meant by that phrase, however, varies widely among those who use and promote it. What is too often missing—even in the calls for “social justice” coming from Christian leaders—is a clear understanding of biblical justice. Justice exists because God is just and righteous. He is the One who defines justice and He has revealed what true justice is in the Bible. For more resources on these topics, you can visit www.founders.org.
This sermon was given by Chad Vegas on May 16, 2019 at the Founders “The Gospel and Justice“ National conference in Louisville, Kentucky.
