Sermons About Calvin
Q And A With Dr. Steve Lawson
In an age of water-downed theology and casual Christianity, the church desperately needs to return to the doctrines of grace that shook the world during the Reformation. These grand truths-historically referred to as the five points of Calvinism (TULIP)-form a biblical outline of God's sovereign plan for saving sinners. Sadly, these foundational principles the Bible so clearly teaches about salvation are often misunderstood and misrepresented and as a result are often discredited and dismissed as divisive doctrines, or worse, unbiblical ones. Consequently, many Christians never experience the God-glorifying, Christ-exalting, pride-crushing, gratitude-inducing, worship-inspiring, missions-motivating, evangelism-encouraging, discipleship-promoting, soul-comforting, faith-strengthening, and life-changing effects that occur when one fully embraces the sovereign grace of God.

Session 1: Total Depravity
Sin controls every part of man. He is spiritually dead and blind, and unable to obey, believe, or repent. He continually sins, for his nature is completely evil.
