Calvinistic Conundrum or Christ-Centered Confirmation? (Part 1) https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/69252058126912

The sermon centers on the peril of basing one's faith on subjective feelings or thoughts, warning that trusting in the heart—our emotions, intuitions, or personal convictions—is spiritually foolish, as Scripture declares the heart to be deceitful and desperately wicked. Drawing from Proverbs 28:26, it emphasizes that true wisdom and salvation come not from internal feelings but from submitting to the objective, unchanging truth of God's Word, which is the only reliable standard for evaluating the genuineness of faith. The preacher argues that feelings, though powerful, are unreliable because they are shaped by sin, influenced by deception, and subject to change, and thus cannot be the foundation of assurance in one's salvation. Instead, genuine faith must be tested by Scripture, evidenced in a life marked by obedience, love, and submission to Christ's lordship, not merely by emotional experiences or past professions. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to humility, self-examination, and reliance on God's Word and godly counsel to discern whether their faith is real or merely self-deceived.

Reconciling "All" With "Elect" - Calvinistic Conundrum (Part 2) https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/6132512696188

The sermon confronts the persistent human demand for miraculous signs as proof of God's existence and Christ's divinity, drawing from Jesus' rebuke of the Pharisees and Sadducees in Matthew 16:1–4. It argues that such demands are not genuine seeking but rooted in spiritual pride, hypocrisy, and resistance to the abundant evidence already present in creation, Scripture, and the resurrection of Christ. Jesus' response—pointing to the sign of Jonah, His coming resurrection—reveals that the ultimate proof is not a spectacle but the fulfillment of divine prophecy and the triumph over death. The sermon emphasizes that faith is not produced by signs but by the Holy Spirit working through the Word, and that those who reject the clear revelation of God in nature and Scripture will remain blind even to the greatest miracles. Ultimately, it calls listeners to repentance and surrender, warning that waiting for a sign may lead to eternal loss, as faith comes through hearing the gospel, not through miraculous spectacle.
