A Short Work

7/19/2025
Romans 9:25-29 The Apostle Paul reminded the Ephesians that at one time they were aliens from the Commonwealth of Israel, strangers to the covenants of promise, without Christ, and without hope in the world.

Election

7/5/2025
Romans 9:21 There are many people who are swing voters. They cannot decide whom to vote for and sometimes remain undecided right up to election day.

But is this accurate? Listen to Dr. Barnhouse to find out what the Bible teaches about election on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

God's Sovereign Will

6/21/2025
Romans 9:17, 18 When Moses delivered his people from bondage, Pharoah's stubborn resistance against God led to the destruction of the Egyptian army in the waters of the Red Sea.

Salvation Is of God

6/14/2025

Dr. Barnhouse asks the question, "Has the Lord transformed you by his sovereign work of salvation?" on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

God's Righteousness
