T.U.L.I.P. - Sermon Series
Total Depravity — Genesis 3:1-24
No passage of scripture better explains the origins of sin, corruption, and death than Genesis 3 which relates the historical narrative of man's fall and God' promise of a champion who will reverse sins devastation and restore righteousness and life to fallen men.
Unconditional Election — Romans 9:1-24
Is God unfair because he chooses one unto salvation and not the other? Paul says "no way;" the sovereign creator is free to display His divine character through his creatures.
Limited Atonement — John 10:1-30
There are only two ways of conceiving of the extent of the atonement: either Jesus died for no one, or Jesus died for someone. This message makes the case from Scripture that Jesus died for "someone," that is, his sheep, his people, and his church. Jesus died for a definite number of people on the cross, and for that definite number of people there is justification, redemption, reconciliation, and propitiation.
Irresistible Grace — John 6:35-45
Irresistible grace means God never fails to bring his elect to Christ for their salvation. Jesus gives the basis of this doctrine in the "Bread of Life" discourse in John 6:26-59.
Perseverance of the Saints — 1 Peter 1:5
The bad news is, that though Christians have been justified and changed by the power of the Spirit, the body of sin still remains, and, sometimes sinful desires so overwhelm us that we fall into great sin. The good news is that Jesus never takes his hands off his people; he clutches us so firmly in his hands that no one/thing can pluck us out. In this way, believes are preserved in their salvation until they experience the full outworking of their salvation in glory.
