After defining worship from Scripture, we now turn to the ways it is expressed and the motivations behind it. In this message, Pastor Ben Winslett looks at the types of worship—spontaneous praise, private devotion, and corporate gathering—and then … Continue reading "Worship: Types and Motivations | Compelled to Worship, Part 2"

1 Peter 1:1-2 - Intro to the Letter   |  Series: Worship in the Wilderness, 1 Peter |  Sam Holm, Lead Pastor  |  Preached 8-10-25 10:45am   Tag: New Testament, 1 Peter, Pain, Exile, Hurt, Grace, Hope, Comfort, Love, Pray, Prayer, Predestination, Called, Sovereignty, Blessing, Identity, Jesus

Calvinism. Arminianism. Election. Predestination. Even if these terms mean little to you, at some point you've probably wondered if God chooses some people to go to heaven and some people to go to hell. There are bible verses that might lead you to think so, and entire theologies have been built to explain whether humans really have free will or not. In today's edition of “You Asked For It,” pastor Dan answers the question that was submitted more times than any other: Is salvation my choice of God's? -- GIVE: Visit www.connectcalgary.ca/give to help share #LifeOverflowing across Canada.

“What is the Church's teaching on predestination?” In this episode, we explore the nuances of predestination, examining the perspectives of St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas in relation to Calvinism. Additionally, we address whether practicing “chair yoga” is acceptable for those with disabilities and delve into the question of why Jesus descended into hell as stated in the Creed.

Predestination & Free Will – Can Both Be True? In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most challenging and debated topics in the Bible: predestination. Did God choose us before the foundation of the world? Yes. Do we still have free will to choose life or death? Also yes. So how do these truths work together? We explore how God's sovereignty and human responsibility are not in conflict, but rather two sides of the same coin. Predestination is not meant to confuse or paralyze us—it's meant to bring us peace, knowing that God's will is always right. At the end of the day, Scripture calls us not to obsess over eternity, but to make the right choices today. Our focus should be simple: follow Christ, obey His Word, and trust Him with the outcome.

Does God Choose Who Gets Saved? Predestination vs Free Will EXPLAINED | Pastor John MacArthurIn this powerful theological discussion, Pastor John explains: ✅ Biblical evidence for predestination - What Scripture actually says ✅ Human responsibility in salvation - Why unbelievers are still accountable
✅ How both truths coexist - Understanding God's infinite mind vs. finite understanding ✅ Practical application - How to know if you're among the electKey Topics Covered • Predestination before the foundation of the world • The Lamb's Book of Life • Election and chosen people • Dead in trespasses and sin • Sovereign grace and human faith • Biblical paradoxes explained • Assurance of salvation

Saint Augustine of Hippo (354–430 CE), a prominent theologian, philosopher, and bishop in Roman North Africa, profoundly influenced Western Christianity and philosophy. Known for works like Confessions, The City of God, and On Christian Doctrine, he developed doctrines on original sin, grace, just war, and ecclesiology. His thoughts shaped medieval theology, inspired Protestant Reformers, and continue to impact Christian teachings.

Dr. Leighton Flowers plays a sermon from Lakepointe Church in Rockwall, TX by teaching pastor, Josh Howerton, who uses Acts 18:10 to teach a lesson on Predestination.   When Jesus said to his disciples, "I am with you, and no man will attack you in order to harm you, for I have many people in this city," was He meaning to communicate that He had unconditionally pre-chosen some of the people in the city that He was going to irresistibly cause to have faith, or was he simply pointing out that there were many God-fearing people in the city who, like Cornelius or Lydia, were open to hearing the good news about Jesus?   To get your copy of Dr. Flowers new book, Drawn By Jesus, go here: https://a.co/d/6s767Ey   To SUPPORT this broadcast, please click here: https://soteriology101.com/support/   Subscribe to the Soteriology 101 Newsletter here: www.soteriology101.com/newsletter   Is Calvinism all Leighton talks about? https://soteriology101.com/2017/09/22/is-calvinism-all-you-talk-about/   DOWNLOAD OUR APP: LINK FOR ANDROIDS: https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...

A new MP3 sermon from Alpha and Omega Ministries is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Frank Turek on Predestination, a Roman Critique of EOism as "Petrified," and Andrew I Subtitle: The Dividing Line 2025 Speaker: Dr. James White Broadcaster: Alpha and Omega Ministries Event: Podcast Date: 6/9/2025 Length: 79 min.

Played a clip where Dr. Turek uses a form of Molinism to respond to a question on predestination. Before or after that (funny how it is hard to remember right after doing the show!) we looked at a graphic where a Roman Catholic says the Orthodox are "Petrified" as in fossilized in time, and what that might mean. Then we spent the rest of the time looking at my exchange with Andrew Isker on the imprisonment and eventual death of Fritz Erbe and others in the sacral period after the Reformation. A useful exposure of where Isker, and those allied with him, are really going.

In this weekend's edition of Words of Grace, Pastor Ben Winslett continues our study through the Sermon on the Mount with a message titled “A Deeper Understanding of the 7th Commandment.” While many view the commandment against adultery in strictly physical terms, Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5 reveals a far more convicting and heart-searching standard … Continue reading "A Deeper Understanding of the 7th Commandment"

Many today are coming out of atheism and even other religions and embracing the traditional path of Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy. Yet scripture and history warn us clearly that such is the end of all things, and many will be deceived by a counterfeit system of worship in the end posing as the will of God on Earth. Today we will look at several reasons why tradition is not the truth, because it fails the test of scripture.For the written study please go here.TIMESTAMPS:* 00:00 - Introduction* 01:43 - Disclaimer* 02:42 - Not All Traditions are Equal* 05:43 - Two Important Notes* 08:08 - Reason 1: Call No Man On Earth Your Father* 10:07 - Reason 2: Only One Mediator* 11:31 - Reason 3: Transubstantiation* 12:45 - Reason 4: The Second Birth & Baptism* 15:50 - Reason 5: No Salvation Outside the Church* 17:04 - Reason 6: The True Universal Church* 20:21 - Reason 7: The Nature of Salvation* 23:50 - Reason 8: Predestination* 27:52 - Reason 9: The Nature of Apostasy* 31:50 - Reason 10: The Afterlife* 36:43 - Reason 11: Veneration* 38:55 - Reason 12: The Nature of Prayer* 40:49 - Reason 13: Cosmology* 43:24 - Reason 14: The Apocrypha* 46:30 - Reason 15: The Climate Justice Gospel* 49:21 - Reason 16: Changing Times & Laws* 58:44 - Reason 17: The Pope* 1:01:58 - Final Thoughts This is a public episode.

In today's broadcast of Words of Grace, Pastor Ben Winslett continues our study through the Sermon on the Mount by examining Christ's words concerning the commandment, “Thou shalt not kill.” While many in Jesus' day limited this command to literal murder, Jesus revealed its deeper meaning—warning against unrighteous anger, insults, and heart-level contempt. We consider … Continue reading "A Deeper Understanding of the 6th Commandment"

Did God predetermine who would believe and be saved? Discussion Questions: Why does Paul keep mentioning Jews and Gentiles with the theme of predestination? Read Romans 10:6-9. Why shouldn't we try to predict who is saved and who isn't? How does verse 10 demonstrate our role in salvation? Read verse 11. What can we expect from the gospel? How do verses 12-13 drive home the main point of this series on predestination? Read verse 14 and react to this statement: Let's get this message out there! Which of the verses in the grand finale are most convincing to you? Why?

Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates are answering a question about Galatians 1:15. Is this a verse teaching election and/or predestination? If so, what kind of predestination is it talking about? Is this about eternal life, service, task or purpose? Please listen each weekday to the Grace in Focus

Discussion Questions: How is God's foreknowledge different from controlling everyone's moves? React to this statement: God predestined every child of God to grow, being conformed to Christ's image. How is Romans 9:30-31 the summary of everything Paul wants to communicate? In what way does this Romans passage mirror what we saw in Ephesians last week? React to this statement: Paul uses Jacob, Esau, and Pharaoh to defend God's right to do whatever He wants. And now God wants to bring salvation to the Gentiles. How does the Hosea quote in Romans 9:25-26 further expose the true meaning of predestination? Why can the genuine message concerning predestination unite us (rather than divide us) and even offer a cure for racism?

Both Thomism and Calvinism talk about predestination—but they mean very different things.
