In Luke chapter 4, we read of the Lord Jesus facing temptation in the wilderness. After forty days, He was hungry and attacked by Satan himself. Yet unlike us, Christ triumphed—refusing to abuse His power, refusing to tempt God, and refusing to bow to the wicked one. In this episode of Words of Grace, Pastor … Continue reading "The Temptation, from Luke Chapter 4"

I've been asked many times to do a video about predestination, and what the Bible actually teaches about the subject. Does God predestine some for Heaven, and others for Hell?

In this edition of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett reflects on the biblical call to “be strong.” We live in a world filled with trials and troubles, and Scripture reminds us again and again that true strength is not found in ourselves, but in the Lord. From the stories of Gideon and Samson, to the … Continue reading "Be Strong! Be Brave!"

On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we begin our look at the epistle of the apostle Paul to the Romans, and settle in to learn some hardcore, strong meat Bible doctrine. A study in Romans will show us the New Testament doctrines of salvation, redemption, sanctification, justification, predestination, adoption, regeneration, and glorification. Remember the Ethiopian eunuch from our study in the Book of Acts? He got saved with salvation by grace through faith by reading in the book of Isaiah. Another salient point to keep in mind that Paul is the apostle to the Romans, and not Peter as the Roman Catholic church falsely claims he is. There is no biblical record that Peter was ever in Rome.TONIGHT'S STUDY: Romans 8 is a treasure trove of scripture for topics like our victory in Jesus Christ, deliverance from the bondage of sin and regret, and the biblical doctrines of predestination and eternal security. Before God set the wheels in motion, He firmly set up exactly what anyone who got into His only begotten Son could expect to receive, He predestinated the plan of salvation, it's application and ultimate outcome. The only thing that remained to be decided was who would be the ones to receive it.

The idea of predestination (God pre-planning something) often causes debate among Christians. However, the Bible makes it clear that predestination is simply God's secret plan (now revealed!) to unleash the Gospel on the Gentiles and not just the Jews. This becomes obvious as one examines the “we” (we Jews) and “you also” (you Gentiles also) in Ephesians. This is why predestination as a doctrine is only explained in letters written to Gentiles. The Jews already knew they were God's “chosen people.” The big newsflash through the ministry of the Apostle Paul was that the Gentiles were being included in the Gospel invitation. This accurate view of predestination does away with the false notion of God pre-selecting some to believe and not enabling (or allowing) others to believe. It also affirms the pervasive New Testament truth that Jesus died for everyone (2 Corinthians 5:19; John 3:16) and God wants everyone to be saved (1 Timothy 2:4; John 12:32).

In this episode of Words of Grace, we share Pastor Winslett’s message on The Blessing of Family. From the very beginning, God established marriage as the oldest institution, teaching us through family relationships about His own love and care for His people. Drawing from Genesis, Ephesians, and the Psalms, this sermon reminds us that family … Continue reading "The Blessing of Family"

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.

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.

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...
