Michael Tolliver

When the term Reformed theology is used, it often refers to something less historical. Often it refers to a theology that acknowledges the doctrine of predestination and holds to a high view of the Bible as God’s inerrant Word. Sometimes it is also identified with the so-called five points of Calvinism: total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, and the perseverance of the saints. These are all important teachings of the Reformed tradition, but they do not fully

Send a text This is a Spotlight on the Scriptures: Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Now some folks—bless their hearts—say the Sermon on the Mount is all about man. They call it anthropocentric. Man-centered. Human-focused. But I stopped by to tell you: they got it twisted. That sermon didn’t come from man, and it sure wasn’t aimed at man’s glory. It came from the mouth o...

Send a text So let me introduce Him. Not as a mist. Not as a mood. Not as a metaphor. But as a Person. The Holy Spirit speaks (Acts 13:2), prays (Romans 8:26), teaches (John 14:26), guides (John 16:13), commands (Acts 15:6), communes (2 Corinthians 13:14), and yes— He can be grieved (Ephesians 4:30), lied to (Acts 5:3), resisted (Acts 7:51), even blasphemed (Matthew 12). You don’t blaspheme a force—you blaspheme a Person. And He is not just a Person—He is God. His attributes prove it: He’s et...

Send a text Welcome to Biblical Talks Encouraging Word for the Week, I am Rachel Tolliver, Beloved, a ship is made to sail in the water—but when water gets inside the ship, it sinks. In the same way, you are called to live in the world, but the world must not live in you. When John warns us in 1 John 2 not to love the world, he’s not talking about the planet. He’s talking about a corrupt system—organized, seductive, and led by Satan—that pulls our hearts away from God’s love and God’s will. S...

Send a text Spiritual warfare is a genuine battle occurring daily in our lives—affecting our relationships, mental health, finances, and purpose. In Ephesians 6, Paul reveals that our struggle isn't against people but against spiritual forces of evil. The discouragement, addiction, anger, and division we experience often stem from this cosmic conflict. Discernment becomes crucial in this battle, helping us address root causes rather than merely treating symptoms. God provides specific armor f...

Send a text This is a Spotlight on the Scriptures: Matthew 4:10 Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written, “‘You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.’” Why is it, church, that so many of us struggle to walk this Christian Walk? Why do we stumble, fall, and live beneath our calling? May I say this with love and truth: it's because we don’t know the Word. Not like we should. Not like we must. When Jesus was tested, He didn’t argue. He didn’t philosophiz...

Send a text The theological doctrine of total depravity, asserting that human nature is fundamentally corrupted by sin rather than merely being "basically good." Using vivid metaphors like a car submerged in a pool, the author argues that every aspect of the human person—mind, will, and emotions—is spiritually dead and inclined toward rebellion. The narrative rejects secular views like evolution or humanism, which suggest mankind is morally neutral or contains a hidden spark of divinity. Inst...

Every step, every scheme, every strike was already woven into the Father’s plan. What looked like betrayal was really salvation. What looked like defeat was really deliverance.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28–30 is a divine invitation. Jesus is calling the weary, the damaged, the wounded. He’s not offering a nap—He’s offering rest.

Send a text Welcome to Biblical talks, Let’s conversate deep in. Last week we look at Jude verses 1-19, how false teachers had infiltrated the church. How Jude wanted these troublemakers to be identified by their false teaching and false living because the former inevitably leads to the latter. Saints of the living God, it’s imperative that believers learn to distinguish truth from error. Today let’s look at the exhortations Jude gives to believer’s verses 20-23, and the Doxology ...

Send us a text Some folks—whether teachers or their followers—have turned aside from sound doctrine and embraced lies. And what has it produced? Empty talk. Fruitless behavior. Lives that bear no good fruit. This is a reminder, church: false doctrine never stays locked up in the mind. No, what enters the mind will eventually show up in the actions. Ideas have consequences. Beliefs—whether true or false—will always shape behavior. If you believe the truth, you will walk in the truth. But if yo...

The text warns that the most significant threats to the church are internal infiltrators who distort the gospel to justify immorality and personal gain. By examining historical examples of divine judgment—such as the rebellious Israelites, fallen angels, and the citizens of Sodom and Gomorrah—the author illustrates the severe consequences o...

2026/01/30

Send us a text Neutrality might sound noble in theory—“Don’t take sides,” “Just preach the gospel,” “Avoid controversy.” But in practice, especially in the Black church tradition, neutrality can become complicity. It’s the silence that echoes when justice is denied. It’s the absence of voice when the community is crying out. Biblical prophets weren’t neutral. Jeremiah wept, Amos thundered, Jesus flipped tables. They didn’t straddle fences—they stood in the gap.So preach like Jude: contend for...

Psalm 136 is a praise party with a catch phrase that won’t quit—“His faithful love endures forever!” It’s not just poetry—it’s proclamation. It’s not just duplication—it’s revelation. Every verse testifies, every line confirms, every beat reminds us: God’s love doesn’t fade, don’t fail, and don’t flinch. From creation to deliverance, fr...

Then he enters into an extensive description of the tribulation that fulfills many Old Testament prophecies, as well as Jesus’s Olivet discourse. This section also describes God’s dealing with Israel after the church has been raptured and the times of the Gentiles have end. This leads to Christ’s m...

Send us a text In an age of compromise and cotton-candy preaching, the church doesn’t need entertainers—it needs warriors. Men with steel in their spine, fire in their belly, and Scripture in their mouth. This sermon dives into the depths of 2 Timothy 4:1–5, where Paul doesn’t whisper—he charges: “Preach the Word.” Too many today are trading truth for applause, holiness for hype, and sound doctrine for smooth talk. They want comfort, not conviction. They want crowds, not crosses. But Go...
