The Pastor's Desk

These two lessons focus on the sovereignty of God, looking at a wide variety of Scripture passages to support the absolute freedom of God over all of His creation.  Specifically, it seeks to understand the relationship between God’s control and plan over creation and how that effects our actions, decisions and desires.  We also examine key passages in determining the relationship between Divine sovereignty and human responsibility, as well as eight practical applications for understanding God’s sovereignty in our lives.

Here we begin a journey to study the great doctrines of grace (also known as Calvinism) which attempt to reconcile God’s sovereignty and human responsibility.  What is man’s role in salvation?  What does it mean to be “saved by grace?”  Does man have free will?  Is God sovereign over everything, including salvation?  If God is sovereign, how is man free (or is he)?  These are the questions we will seek to answer in this eight week series on Sunday nights.  I will be posting the teaching on mp3 and my notes weekly, along with other resources to help you study these doctrines on your own.  My prayer is that the awesome grace of God may be magnified among us as we study how great our salvation really is.  Soli Deo Gloria!
