Abide in the Word Podcast

In this episode, we continue our series in which we examine Calvinism or often referred to as the doctrines of grace, and look at what the Bible teaches us about the doctrine of unconditional election. Do we choose God for our salvation or does God choose us? We also answer a few listener questions such as, “if God is sovereign, why pray?”

In this episode, we continue our series in which we examine Calvinism or often referred to as the doctrines of grace, and look at what the Bible teaches us about the doctrine of total depravity. What do theologians mean when they say that man is “totally depraved?” Can man believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ of their own volition, or does our sin nature prevent us from doing so? Listen to this episode as we look at how the Bible answers these questions.

In this episode, we begin a series in which we will examine Calvinism or often referred to as the doctrines of grace. We begin by looking at what the Bible teaches us regarding God’s sovereignty over all things and His eternal decree regarding all that takes place in His creation. Is God always in control, even when evil happens? Does God decree all things, good and evil? The Bible has clear answers to these questions and we hope that you dig into the Scriptures with us as we seek to understand what God Himself has to say about these things.

In this episode, we continue our study of the doctrine of eternal security, or also known as “the perseverance of the saints”. Having looked in detail at the guarantee of perseverance in episode 3, we shift our focus to the necessity and corollary of perseverance in episode 4.

In this episode, we look at the doctrine of eternal security, also known as “The Perseverance of the Saints.” We look at the promise of this doctrine in God’s Word, that if we are saved, we are being kept – or guarded – by the power of God until we see Him face to face in glory.
