Predestination and Election | Romans 9-11 (Part 2) | Gary Hamrick

Absolutely incredible. God bless you. A man of Christ; not of Calvin, not of Arminius, not of Luther, not of Francis, but of Christ.

I'm so glad you have approached this subject Pastor Gary all my life and I am 83yrs now I never understood what the Word meant in this scripture. I just always hoped and prayed that I was loved by God. Thanks for explaining it so we'll. 🙏🙏

Scripture says that God chooses for salvation and that he draws and that whom he draws they will come to Christ, and the Father gives to the son and that all he has given to the son he is going to lose nothing, but raise it up at the last day

It seems strange that people who know the Scripture, that before conversion, we are dead spiritually without hope - that a person who is DEAD can make any positive movement towards God. I believe that our greatest hope lies with the sovereign Lord who does all things well, rather than hope in a dead man’s ability to make a choice that he is unable and unwilling to make.

Every time this topic comes up, I think of the 1 Cor. verse "I am of Paul" and "I am of Apollos." I was THRILLED to hear you use that passage in application to this topic. The Armenians say, "The other choice is Calvinism" and the Calvinists say, "The other choice is Arminianism" and I want to scream "NO!" Since when does anyone have a choice of 2 mere men to align their beliefs with? I'm not buying it. I am of JESUS!

Saved for 64 years I'm 84 thank you Pastor with this message I get it explained so well by you I'm so grateful. Blessings to you, I listen to your Bible studies and learn a lot.

Finally, a sensible voice of sanity on this subject.

Soli Deo Gloria! 🙌🏼☺️

God bless all who see this comment, and may you all have a great day/night. :) (Ephesians 2:8-9)

Thank you Pastor Gary for teaching me not to be divided. I know Jesus does not want this division in our church.🙏🙏🙏❤️

Thank you Pastor Gary for SOUND teaching of the Word! This is why I Watch you every Sunday, as well as Pastors Jack Hibbs and Brandon Holthaus- preachers who preach the Truth and rightly divide the Word of truth 🙌🏻

That was a wonderful explanation of God's love for everyone. Everyone has the "free will" to come to God through His Son, Jesus. But the Father already knows who will accept His salvation and who won't. My prayer is that everyone who hears His Word, will humble themselves, repent, and trust in Jesus. 🙏

Thank god for pastor Gary he teaches very well so i could understand the bible. Thank God he loves me and forgave me of my sin. Pastor Gary bring to serving the ture and living God. Thanks for the word of God.

I was baptized at Calvary Chapel, Bellflower, CA. I was saved at a non denominational church in Orange County, CA, but even as a baby Christian, I knew that they were very Ken Copland-ish, so I had to move on. Fortunately, the Holy Spirit led me to Calvary Chapel and it was there where I became born again! Then I accepted my full commitment to Christ, and I stepped into the water to be baptized. This was in 1989, and I had the blessing of going to Orange County (Costa Mesa, I think?) once a year to what was called Harvest where many of the "names" who represent the early foundation of Calvary Chapel stood on the stage and gave their testimonies, and encouraged everyone to come to Christ and to grow strong in faith. I never personally met any of them, including Chuck Smith who was also there. But I had never realized how large the umbrella was until I attended those events. I was a stubborn 39 when I came to The Lord. I'm now a willing 75 year old widow who is looking up, every day, longing for His appearing. God bless you.

I always find this man of God mature and balanced. Praise the Lord!

Thank you for excellent teaching on Predestination and Election. To God be the glory. ❤

Great sermon! It’s one of those you need to listen to a couple of times because it’s that good! 🙏

Such Excellent teaching, Pastor Gary!

Sovereignty of God ❤

AMEN! May God Bless you Pastor
