" Pope Leo the Great and the Chalcedonian Definition"
Join Pastor Rocky Stevenson on this Memorable Monday night as he takes listeners back to the 5th century, a time of theological turbulence and clarity in the Christian Church. Focusing on Pope Leo the Great, who served as the Bishop of Rome from 440 to 461 AD, Pastor Rocky explores his life and contributions, particularly his role in the Council of Chalcedon in 451 AD. Leo's theological acumen and commitment to biblical truth played a pivotal role in defining the nature of Christ. Anchored in Philippians 2:5-11, Leo emphasized the unity of Christ's person amidst debates about His divine and human natures. The Chalcedonian Definition, influenced by Leo, declares Christ as one person in two natures, fully God and fully human. Reflecting on the mystery of the Incarnation and the biblical foundations for theological challenges, Pastor Rocky encourages listeners to consider the role of authority in their faith communities and the broader Christian family. The episode concludes with a reminder that the exploration of church history is an opportunity for personal and communal growth, challenging believers to ground their understanding of Christ in the unchanging truths of Scripture. #MemorableMonday #ChurchHistory #PopeLeoTheGreat #ChalcedonianDefinition #TheologicalClarity #BiblicalTruth #ChristianUnity #RadioPulpitFaith
