Paul anticipates that his listeners will wrongly draw the conclusion that his doctrine of unconditional election is unjust. However, this misunderstands what mercy and justice really mean. You can watch this message here.
Brothers and Sisters in the Lord: All men, from the fall of Adam, have been inherently sinful and under the just condemnation of God. God elected some to salvation because of his love, and he works that election through the preaching of his Word. Let's open up the doctrine of election more and consider 2 more things. God elected whom he would save and whom he would reject God elected you out of pure grace and for his pleasure-A summary Our goals are: That seeing the richness of God's love in electing you, while rejecting others, you will more passionately serve him and advance his glory.
NOTE: Due to technical difficulties, there is no audio for the remaining ~10 minutes of the sermon, please refer to the PDF for the sermon notes) Beloved in Jesus Christ: Canons are the standards or rules God established in his Word. Canons are not big guns. Big guns are c-a-n-n-o-n-s. The Canons of Dort (Dordrecht was the place they were written) (1618-1619) are the standards the synod of the church organized regarding 5 major doctrines that were being attacked by false teachers after the Reformation. The one who corrupted these major doctrines (and so robbed the people of truth and robbed God of proper praise) was Jacob Arminius (1560-1609), a Dutchman. Arminius borrowed some ideas from Pelagius, a heretic of the 4th century, who did not believe, among other things, in original sin, predestination, or man's total estrangement from God. In short, Arminius minimized the greatness of God's salvation and robbed God of praise. With these same corrupted Arminian doctrines common today, even proliferating, you must be reminded of these standards so you don't fall prey to these errors, so you don't rob God of proper praise, and so you don't live fearful lives. The 1st doctrine in the Canons of Dort is the Unconditional Election of man. Our headings are: 1. Your Election Was Not Necessary 2. Your Election Was Based on God's Love 3. Your Election is Worked through Preaching Our goals are: That you will love that you are loved and chosen by Christ, that you will love him back, and share the message of his love so the elect might hear and believe.
Unconditional Election and the Mercy of GodSeries: RomansPreacher: Martin ShadwickSunday MorningDate: 26th July 2026Passage: Romans 9:14-29
It has become popular to see Romans 9 as being mainly about (1) temporal blessings and judgments on *nations* in history, or (2) the salvation of individuals based on *foreseen faith*. However, there are good reasons to reject these views and accept that Romans 9 really does teach unconditional election unto salvation. Really! You can watch this message here.

A few weeks ago, I started a series on the fundamentals of the faith. The first message was about Adam’s fall into sin. If we don’t know what Adam’s sin did us, it is impossible to understand the next fundamental. The unconditional election of an innumerable host of the human race to be saved eternally, …

Charles Spurgeon once said, "I believe the doctrine of election, because I am quite sure that if God had not chosen me I should never have chosen him; and I am sure he chose me before I was born, or else he never would have chosen me afterwards; and he must have elected me for reasons unknown to me, for I never could find any reason in myself why he should have looked upon me with special love."The Doctrine of Election has no doubt been controversial throughout history. In fact, it was controversial even in the days of Jesus and the Apostles. And yet, it is a doctrine that (1) is constantly spoken of in Scripture and (2) has a tremendous effect on how we view the most core doctrines of the Christian faith, such the doctrine of God, and man, and sin, and salvation.As such, it is certainly a doctrine that is worth our diligent study and serious investigation. In this short episode, I give a short lecture on this doctrine, where we see it in the Bible, and how it should affect our Christian lives.This episode was originally recorded as part of a Men's Discipleship Event at River City Church in Fargo, ND.

In this lesson, we explore the biblical teaching commonly called Calvinism—more properly, the Doctrines of Grace. Following chapter 6 of Dr. Hicks' book, we will examine the five points (Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, and Perseverance of the Saints) as a faithful summary of how God sovereignly and graciously saves sinners from start to finish, all to the praise of His glorious grace.This series works to provide a positive, biblical case for key beliefs, including the sufficiency of Scripture, salvation by grace alone, justification by faith, covenant theology, Calvinism, the regulative principle of worship, and more—tracing their roots from the early church through the Reformation and Puritan eras.Our weekly Sunday School live stream begins every Lord's Day at 9:30 AM (US Central Time).About Reformed Baptist Church of McKinneyWe are a Christ-centered, Bible-believing church in McKinney, Texas, committed to the glory of God through expository preaching, sound doctrine, and vibrant fellowship.

In this episode of Real Christianity, Dale Partridge explores one of Calvinism's most controversial teachings: limited atonement. He makes a compelling case for embracing all five points of Calvinism as an interconnected theological system. These points include Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, and Perseverance of the Saints. Partridge tackles common criticisms head-on, demonstrating how rejecting limited atonement can weaken the entire Calvinist framework. He provides historical context and recommends resources for those seeking a deeper understanding of these concepts. Whether you're looking to strengthen your grasp of Reformed theology or learn how to defend the doctrines of grace, this episode offers valuable insights into a complex and often misunderstood aspect of Christian thought.
