Coffee Cup Theology – the first sip
Hello friends, and welcome to Coffee Cup Theology.
Have you ever found yourself sipping your morning coffee and wondering… what in Babylon is Jeremiah 29.11 really about?
Then you’ve come to the right place.
Coffee Cup Theology, where good theology meets good coffee.
No out of context verses, and no rushing—just thoughtful sips of God’s Word.
A few years ago, we got tired of seeing verses taken out of context and printed on a coffee cup. We got to thinking and realized good theology is the result of careful reflection, and that takes time. But most people don’t have the time to sit and think for long periods.
So we challenged ourselves to slow down and meditate on God and His Word together, with a cup of coffee. We’re learning theology over the long haul, one sip at a time. And we want to share it with you.
That’s what Coffee Cup Theology is all about. It’s the place where good coffee meets good theology. No out of context verses, and no rushing—just thoughtful sips of God’s Word .
Coming Up
Here’s a taste… of what we have planned.
Scripture Immersion
Twice a month, we’ll immerse ourselves (a little baptist and coffee humor there) in the text of Scripture. We’ll pick a verse and consider it in context. Sometimes we’ll pick verses that are regularly abused and misapplied. Other times we’ll look at verses that are just ignored because they’re difficult or uncomfortable.
Theology Review
We’re also going to read through some theological books together and have a monthly discussion about the doctrines and ideas we find. We’ll be reading Bavinck, Vos, Pink, Owen, and others. Mostly older, Puritan theologians, or solid reformed thinkers. We’ll take them slow, a paragraph or two at a time and really ponder what these voices from the past have to say to modern readers today.
Sermon Extras
Once a month we’ll have a conversation about something I’ve read or studied in the course of my sermon preparation that we feel warrants a fresh cup and a conversation.
Theological Definitions
Each episode will include a definition and brief discussion of a theological term, to help you grow in your knowledge and understanding of God and His Word.
And Coffee!
We’ll be talking coffee as well. We’ll talk about our favorite beans, roasts, brewing methods, and mugs.
Group Discussions
From time to time, we’ll have discussions with other people. We may have a discussion following a men’s or women’s study at our church if we think the conversation will be beneficial to us all. We’ve got some ideas and people in mind for these discussions, and we’re eager to try it out.
Interviews
We also plan to do the occasional interview with pastors, authors, and coffee industry people.
