In part 1 of “The Predestination Puzzle” we looked at all of the passages related to predestination in Paul’s epistle to the Ephesians. But so many questions remain! What about Romans? Didn’t God harden Pharaoh’s heart? What does “Jacob I loved, Esau I hated” mean? And what about the Potter and the clay analogy? In this second part of our two-part series, “The Predestination Puzzle”, I address all of these questions and so much more. I hope you take the time to really soak this one in. I believe the result may be that you finally solve the predestination puzzle in your mind and then get to celebrate the fullness of the Gospel message like never before!

Maybe you’ve heard the idea that God has pre-selected some to believe and be saved, while others have no chance, because they were not “chosen” by God. If true, this confusing belief system would lead to all kinds of concerning questions: How could one ever really know for sure if they are “picked”?How could evangelism be essential if the saved are already chosen?Should believers be resigned to engage in a Plato-Socrates style debate over “fate” versus “free will” like so many do today? Rest assured that there are solid solutions to the predestination puzzle. And in this full-length message, I share the simple truth that may bring you the clarity you’ve been looking for!

Honor your father and mother (which is the first commandment with a promise), so that it may turn out well for you, and that you may live long on the earth. (Ephesians 6:2-3) Here Paul quotes from the Old Testament Law, instructing the Ephesian children to honor their parents. Why does Paul use the Law? Does this mean that we Christians are still under the moral Law today? This was Jamal’s question when he called in to our program. In this video clip, I share the truth about the commonly held idea of Christians being under the moral Law.

George struggles with sin every day. So, naturally he started to wonder if God even hears his prayers or if he has lost fellowship.

Tim is a seminary student, and he’s been learning about predestination in his courses lately. In particular, he’s been studying Romans 9 where it talks about God hardening hearts. So does God harden people’s hearts today? Does God pre-arrange who can respond to the Gospel and who can’t? These were Tim’s questions when he called in to our program. In this short video clip, I share what’s really going on in Romans 9 and what the hardening of hearts actually means for you and me.

Did Jesus spend three days in Hell? For many years, a popular creed often recited in church claimed He did. And some even believe that Jesus had to go to Hell for three days to pay for sin. But is any of it true? This was Joseph’s question, and in this short video clip, I share my thoughts on this controversial idea. Enjoy!
