On the Need for Sovereign Graciousness

Sovereign grace is not merely a doctrine to defend. It is a reality meant to transform the hearts of those who believe it. While contending for the true Gospel is necessary, Scripture calls Christians to do so with gentleness, humility, and respect. Too often, theological debates become battlegrounds where truth is spoken without love. Yet the same grace that saves sinners is meant to soften them. When we remember that we ourselves were rescued entirely by God’s mercy, our tone toward others changes. We still stand firmly for the truth, but we do so as grateful recipients of grace, reflecting the gentleness of Christ (1 Peter 3:15).

SERMON VIDEO: The Glory of Christ Revealed By the Spirit

In this sermon based on 1 Corinthians 2:1–12, the apostle Paul emphasizes that God reveals His saving wisdom through Christ's crucifixion and the Holy Spirit's work in our hearts. The message highlights the importance of divine revelation over human intellect, encouraging believers to deepen their understanding of the gospel and rely on God's grace.

Guarding the Gospel Against End-Times Error

Full-preterism claims that Christ's second coming and resurrection occurred by AD 70, which redefines hope and diminishes Christ’s authority, contradicting historic orthodoxy. This view empties the church's purpose, faith, and sacraments of meaning, leading to resignation rather than hope, ultimately denying the promise of future physical resurrection and renewal.

The End of the Age Has Not Yet Come

The claim that the end of the age has already occurred poses significant theological issues, particularly regarding the Holy Spirit's presence in the Church. Christ's promises and teachings, especially around His return and the resurrection, indicate that the consummation awaits. Hyper-preterism contradicts Scripture and the historic beliefs of Christianity, undermining the Church's mission and hope.
