God's Word on Elections, Warnings, and Preparations.

The spread of the gospel to the nations is entirely dependent on the sovereign will of God, as He directs missionaries to preach according to His plan, illuminates the minds of the hearers, and regenerates hearts. Without the work of the Holy Spirit, preaching is in vain. But the Spirit never works without the Word, but through it for the effectual calling of God's elect from among the nations.

In a world of shaking kingdoms and election-season anxiety, Hebrews 12 calls believers to listen to the God who speaks, and to worship with gratitude because we have received a kingdom that cannot be shaken. Outline: We Have Come to the Heavenly Zion (vv. 18–24) We Must Not Refuse the God Who Speaks (vv. 25–27) We Have Received a Kingdom That Cannot Be Shaken (vv. 28–29)

This is a simple lesson answering a couple questions about the doctrine of election.

This sermon examines the list of virtues in 2 Peter 1:5-7, arguing that diligent pursuit of holiness is essential for confirming one's calling and election. The central message contrasts self-reliant moral striving with a grace-empowered life that begins with God's divine power and ends in eternal glory. It identifies spiritual stagnation as a form of nearsightedness caused by forgetting the definitive cleansing already received through Christ. The preacher emphasizes that progressive sanctification is fueled by remembering God's past acts of grace, which provides the assurance that believers will not fall and will ultimately enter the eternal kingdom.
