  • Perseverence of the Saints

    Perseverence of the Saints
    Jan 9 2026
    The sermon, drawn from Romans 8:35–39, affirms the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints as a profound assurance of eternal security grounded in God's unchanging love and sovereign power. It emphasizes that while believers are called to persevere in faith and obedience—struggling against sin and maintaining spiritual discipline—this perseverance is not achieved by human strength but by God's sustaining grace. The message underscores that genuine faith inevitably produces good works and a growing hatred of sin, and that no external force, including Satan, can ultimately sever the believer's union with Christ. Rooted in divine promises, the irrevocable nature of God's election and covenant, and the unity of the Trinity in preserving His people, the sermon presents eternal salvation as a certain, personal, and glorious gift secured by God's invincible power, bringing profound comfort and worship to the believer.

  • Irresistible Grace

    Irresistible Grace
    Dec 29 2025
    The sermon presents irresistible grace as God's sovereign, transformative work in the lives of the elect, emphasizing that salvation is entirely God's initiative and accomplishment, not a result of human effort or resistance. Rooted in Scripture, particularly Romans 11 and the Westminster Confession, it explains that God predestines, regenerates, and effectually calls His people through the preached gospel, changing their hearts from stone to flesh and making them willing to believe. While the gospel is proclaimed widely to all, its effect differs: to the elect, it is a sweet, irresistible force that produces faith and draws them to Christ, while to the reprobate, it hardens their hearts and builds evidence against them, preparing them for judgment. The sermon underscores that God's glory is secured in both salvation and condemnation, and that believers, though active participants in His mission, receive no credit, for salvation is entirely by grace, ensuring 100% success in fulfilling God's eternal purpose.

  • Limited Atonement

    Limited Atonement
    Nov 23 2025
    The sermon presents a robust defense of particular redemption, asserting that Christ's atonement was intentionally and effectively for the elect alone, not for all humanity in a general sense. Grounded in Scripture—particularly John 10's portrayal of Jesus as the good shepherd who lays down His life for His sheep—the message emphasizes that salvation is a divinely orchestrated, particular work, rooted in God's sovereign election and predestination. Pastor Paul argues that a universal atonement would undermine divine justice and the efficacy of Christ's sacrifice, as it would imply God's wrath is either unjustly repeated or rendered ineffective. Instead, Christ's death is presented as a definitive, sufficient, and effectual payment for the sins of His chosen people, securing their eternal salvation and glorifying God's purpose throughout history. The sermon calls for faithful, reformed evangelism that honors God's truth by clearly proclaiming Christ's redemptive work as specific, not hypothetical, and grounded in divine sovereignty rather than human response.

  • Unconditional Election

    Unconditional Election
    Nov 16 2025
    The sermon presents unconditional election as a central, biblically grounded doctrine rooted in God's sovereign will rather than human merit, drawing from Romans 9, Ephesians 1, and Revelation 13 to affirm that salvation is initiated by God before creation, based solely on His gracious purpose. It addresses common objections—particularly the charge of unfairness—by emphasizing God's absolute authority as Creator and the inherent sinfulness of human rebellion, which renders any claim to moral entitlement invalid. The sermon defends the reality of reprobation not as arbitrary punishment but as God's just ordination of some to dishonorable ends for the display of His glory, while affirming that election provides profound assurance, removes fear from evangelism, and fosters humility and gratitude. Ultimately, it calls believers to rest in God's sovereign grace, recognizing that salvation is entirely of His mercy, not human effort, and that the doctrine of election, though challenging, is a source of joy and confidence in the certainty of God's redemptive plan.

  • Total Depravity

    Total Depravity
    Nov 9 2025
    The sermon presents a comprehensive exposition of the doctrine of total depravity as the foundational element of the five points of Calvinism, emphasizing that humanity, in its natural state, is utterly sinful in every aspect—mind, will, emotions, and body—due to the fall of Adam and the pervasive influence of Satan. Rooted in Scripture, particularly Ephesians 2:1–5, it argues that this condition renders all people incapable of initiating spiritual salvation, not merely morally flawed but spiritually dead and enslaved to sin, making self-redemption impossible. The sermon refutes Arminian alternatives by highlighting the logical inconsistency of claiming human ability to choose God while simultaneously acknowledging total inability, and uses historical confessions and theological figures like Augustine and Calvin to affirm that salvation is entirely God's work, initiated by grace and accomplished through the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit. It concludes with a powerful testimonial from a 19th-century revival, illustrating how the recognition of total depravity leads not to despair but to desperate dependence on God, ultimately resulting in genuine repentance and faith, thereby magnifying God's grace and glory in the entire salvation process.

  • The Hope of Israel

    The Hope of Israel
    Nov 2 2025
    This final message in the book of Acts centers on the hope of Israel as the resurrection-based expectation of eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ, the fulfillment of Old Testament promises. Drawing from Paul's ministry in Rome, it emphasizes that the Holy Spirit's work is essential for true understanding, repentance, and salvation—transforming dead hearts into living ones. The message underscores that genuine faith involves not just intellectual assent but a divine renewal by the Spirit, resulting in a sure and certain hope grounded in God's unchanging promise. This hope, shared by all true believers across time, is not a faint wish but a confident assurance of eternal life, resurrection, and the ultimate glory of God's redemptive plan, which culminates in a sinless, everlasting existence. The sermon concludes with a call to pray for increased faith, so that believers may walk in the same certainty about their eternal future as they do about present realities.

  • A Question of Justice

    A Question of Justice
    Oct 26 2025
    The sermon explores the contrast between worldly notions of justice—rooted in superstition, self-justification, and a desire to see others punished—and the perfect, redemptive justice of God revealed in Christ. It highlights how the Maltese people, witnessing Paul survive a snakebite, wrongly assumed divine retribution was at work, reflecting a common human tendency to equate suffering with guilt. In contrast, the sermon affirms that God's justice is not arbitrary or vengeful but is fulfilled in Christ's atonement, where believers' sins are fully paid for, rendering them immune to further punishment. True justice, the sermon argues, is not about retribution but about restoration, as God uses trials for the believer's growth and ultimately vindicates His people. The ultimate display of justice will be seen at the final judgment, when Satan and the unrepentant are eternally punished, while the redeemed stand unharmed, marveling at God's wisdom in maintaining justice while extending mercy through Christ.
