Grace of God in Truth (Post Sermon Notes)

Expository sermon on Colossians 1:1-6 (Key verse – 6)

Grace

· Abundant

· Saving

· Amazing

Exodus 34:6-7

Psalm 86:15

“Doctrine” of Grace – a term hijacked by Calvinist / Reformers (IMHO).

Search and you will find almost nothing other than a Calvinist viewpoint. (Doctrine means teaching – thus, The Teaching of Grace.) The Doctrine of Grace should reflect TRUTH.

T_U_L_I_P

Total depravity of man – All men are depraved.

Unconditional Election – God CHOOSES who shall be saved.

Limited Atonement – the atonement is not for all men.

Irresistible Grace – God’s grace cannot be turned down or rejected.

Preservation of the Saints – Once saved always saved.

Irresistible Grace

· An unbiblical teaching of the Grace of God – this is the focus of the message.

o Failed to preach it but, the Mystery of the Gospel is that the Gentiles get in as well as the Hebrews. The Jewish people seem to think they are the ones who get salvation because they are born into the covenant. Calvinists think in a similar fashion. Ephesians reveals the truth.

· 2 Peter 3:8
