Election on SermonAudio

Applying counsel from John Flavel, John Owen, and Stephen Marshall (1641) to assist me in properly responding to the recent election.

The midterms are over, and it was the worst night for Republicans in decades. Kevin Swanson asks the question most election coverage left out: where is God in all of this? Kevin says this is a judgment on the nation, and judgment begins in the house of God. He is joined by Sam Rust from Idaho, one of the few bright spots of the night, where churches helped defeat a pro-abortion measure by double digits. They talk about why voters turned, what the next two years may look like, and what Christian families should do now. Their answer isn't panic. It's building strong homes, churches, and communities, and preparing the next generation. The Most High still rules in the kingdom of men (Daniel 4:17). The mission hasn't changed.

The message addresses the political fallout of recent midterm elections in the United States and Israel, the loss of Republican congressional control as a public repudiation of Trump's Iran war. It critiques the leadership of Donald Trump and J.D. Vance for prioritizing geopolitical interests over domestic economic concerns, while also analyzing the precarious political position of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The sermon transitions from current events to a theological conclusion drawn from Ezekiel 12, asserting that the era of delayed prophetic fulfillment has ended. It emphasizes that God's word is no longer prolonged and that the events preceding the return of Christ are actively unfolding in the present generation, countering the skepticism of those who view these prophecies as distant.

This sermon explores the theological mystery of God's sovereign will as revealed in Ephesians 1, emphasizing that salvation is entirely the work of God rather than human effort. The central message highlights redemption through the blood of Jesus Christ as the necessary ransom for sin, arguing that this act satisfies God's justice and demonstrates His grace. The exposition further details the role of the Holy Spirit in sealing believers, providing assurance of their eternal inheritance and security. The tone is instructional and convicting, urging listeners to recognize their spiritual deadness apart from divine revelation and to rest in the certainty of God's eternal plan. The speaker contrasts human reasoning with supernatural truth, asserting that the knowledge of salvation is a gift imparted by the Spirit to the elect.

The fallout from Tuesday's election continues to unfold. Those who allege that President Trump was going after political opponents are now telling those in this administration to "Lawyer Up." Yesterday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said it was a "close to extinction-level event for Republicans." He warned the impact of the election results are going to last "far beyond just two years." Ballot questions on abortion lost in 3 out of 4 states, not to mention the abortion measures that will be advanced by a new Democratic legislative body. And although some ballot questions went against the LGBTQ agenda, the LGBTQ Nation is touting the fact that at least 16 LGBTQ+ lawmakers will be sworn in to the House and Senate next year, making them what they report to be "the largest group of queer legislators ever to serve in Congress." The Daily Signal reports, "Democratic Socialists of America chapters are already mobilizing to gain nation power in the 2028 election, passing resolutions urging member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for president." The goal is to derail the Trump agenda and certainly to advance leftist causes. All Israel News reported, "The National Exit Polls showed that white Evangelical or born-again Christians accounted for just 17% of the national electorate, compared with 24% in the 2022 midterms and approximately 23% in 2024."

This was narrated this morning the day after the 2026 national election.

As Election Night 2026 delivers a political earthquake, with Democrats projected to take control of Congress, what should Christians learn from this moment?

This sermon presents a Calvinistic exposition of Ephesians 1:1-5, emphasizing that salvation is the result of God's sovereign decree rather than human merit. The speaker argues that believers were chosen by God before the foundation of the world, establishing that election is an act of divine grace that precedes any human action or response. The text highlights the theological distinction between Arminian and Reformed views, asserting that man is merely a recipient of God's will, which includes predestination for adoption as children of God. Holiness is presented not as a prerequisite for salvation but as the natural byproduct of being chosen by a holy God. The message serves as a corrective to works-based salvation, urging listeners to rest in the assurance that their eternal life is secured by God's unchangeable purpose and the finished work of Christ.
