God Wants To Do Much More, Eph 3:20-21
God Wants To Do Much More God has already done much in our lives. Yet, he is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that he has already done. He can still do so much more. God has the ability. There is nothing God cannot do. Consider all that he has already done. He […]
A Certain Ruler, Lk 18:18-30
A Certain Ruler In Lk 18:18-30, Jesus had a conversation with a certain ruler about eternal life. The ruler asked Jesus, “Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life”? Jesus answered him with a question. “Why callest thou me good? None is good, save one, that is God”. If the ruler had pondered […]
Perseverance of the Saints, 1 Pet 1:5
Perseverance of the saints is the fifth point in the five points of Calvinism. It has to do with the eternal security of the believer in Christ. That is once a person has been baptized into the body of Christ by the Holy Spirit [1 Cor 12:13; Eph 5:30] he is sealed by the Holy […]
Irresistible Grace, Acts 7:51
Today we want to look at Irresistible Grace which is the doctrine that, no matter what, you don’t have the free will to choose Christ. Instead, when it is “your time” God hits you with his grace and you can’t resist getting saved. Calvinists believe that you are actually born again before you believe on […]
Limited Atonement, 1 Tim 2:4
Limited atonement is the doctrine that Jesus only died for the unconditionally elect. We want to look at Limited Atonement today so that we are not hood winked into believing this erroneous doctrine. Look at the following verses and notice that this doctrine could not possibly be true. You would have to change the words […]
Unconditional Election, Is 42:1
As taught by Calvinism, Unconditional Election is the doctrine that says God chose from before the foundation of the world whom he would save and whom he would damn, regardless of whether they want to be saved or not. However, by studying the scriptures, we will find that election is never unto salvation. TULIP is […]
Total Depravity, Gen 6:5
Total Depravity is the doctrine that teaches that man is born with a nature that is alienated from God and is in rebellion against God. The total man is depraved and he will, therefore, never seek God or choose Jesus Christ, by his own free will, in order to be saved. Hence, he must be […]
Rejoicing in Hope, Rom 12:12
In Rom 12:12 Paul said that we should be rejoicing in hope. When you lose hope, you will sink in despair. So, today we will see where you find hope so that you can be rejoicing in hope and not wallowing in despair. You will be rejoicing when you find the: Hope that is in […]
A Baby or a Blob, Is 49:1
The question after conception and before birth is whether your child is a baby or a blob. The Bible says it’s a baby. When a woman is pregnant, the Bible says and we say, she is a “woman with child,” [Ex 21:22]. We don’t say that she is a woman with “blob.” When Rebekah conceived, […]
The Work of the Spirit, Jn 7:39
I heard a sermon preached at a conference distinguishing the work of the Spirit from our work. The gist of the message is that we need to recognize the Spirit’s responsibilities and our own responsibilities. The Spirit doesn’t do all of the work, but then neither do we. Here is the outline of that sermon […]
