Philippians 2:12 | Should Christians Live With Fear Of God?
Some Bible verses seem to indicate that we should not walk in fear, while others seem to encourage us to have "fear" of the Lord. In this video Jordan explains a solution to this seeming contradiction and answers the question, "should we fear God?"

Hebrews 6:1-8 | Impossible To Be Renewed To Repentance?
This episode of Rightly Dividing focuses on the controversial and fearful warnings in Hebrews chapter 6. Many fear that this scripture teaches that they are beyond the possibility of salvation and without hope, but Jordan explains why this passage does not leave anyone without the chance of repentance and salvation. God is truly able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to Himself through Christ!

In 2 Timothy 2:15 Paul tells Timothy to "rightly divide" or to "accurately teach" the word of truth. This episode explains that the main thing God is communicating to us through his word is His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus is the word of God who brings the division of soul and spirit in us.

(Answering Calvinism) | Who Are God's Sheep? | A Reply To John Piper
Who are Jesus' sheep that he refers to in the gospel of John? Are they the unconditionally elect who God predetermined to salvation while leaving the rest of humanity to destruction and wrath?

(Answering Calvinism) A Reply To John Piper | We Are Chosen "In" Christ

(Answering Calvinism) Refuting Calvinism With Ephesians 1:3-4
Being chosen by God is a spiritual blessing, and Ephesians 1 says that God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing IN CHRIST. This means that the moment in time where believers receive every spiritual blessing (including being chosen) is the point in time when we come to be in union with Jesus Christ. So at what point in time does this take place for believers? The answer to this question sheds a lot of light on what it looks like for believers to be chosen by God.

(Answering Calvinism) Romans 9 Part 6 | Jacob, Esau & Pharaoh
In this episode of Rightly Dividing, Jordan continues through the "Answering Calvinism" series and explains the spiritual analogies of Jacob and Esau that Paul uses in Romans 9. Did God really "hate" Esau before he was born. Did God unconditionally elect Jacob to salvation and Esau to damnation or does Paul have another point he's making with these Old Testament figures? Find out in this episode.

(Answering Calvinism) Romans 9 Part 5 | Isaac & Ishmael
In this episode Jordan continues through Romans 9 and discusses Paul’s usage of the story of Isaac and Ishmael. Why does Paul bring up this story? What is he using these Old Testament figures to illustrate? How do they further his argument that God has chosen faith in Christ over works as the way to receive salvation? This episode answers those questions. Romans 9 is not primarily exalting “God’s sovereignty” but rather is exalting “God’s sovereignty IN CHRIST.” Though this may seem like a trivial distinction, it makes all the difference in accurately understanding the Spirit’s revelation in Romans 9.

(Answering Calvinism) Romans 9 Part 4 | Seed Not "Seeds" Of Abraham
In this episode Jordan focuses in on a scripture in Galatians and connects it to Romans 9 to communicate that believers are only "chosen" and "elect" by first being IN CHRIST by faith. In Christianity today many of the most popular and prominent Christian teachers are reformed and are teaching a Calvinistic interpretation of the Bible. The goal of our "Answering Calvinism" series is to exalt and centralize Jesus Christ in the doctrines of election and predestination and in doing so to offer a reply to Calvinism's interpretation of scripture.

(Answering Calvinism) Romans 9 Part 2 | Accursed & Cut Off From Christ
In this first episode we begin teaching through Romans 9. In this controversial chapter, Paul's purpose is to make a case for God's sovereign choice of faith in Christ over works as the way of salvation. In Christianity today many of the most popular and prominent Christian teachers are reformed and are teaching a Calvinistic interpretation of the Bible. The goal of our "Answering Calvinism" series is to exalt and centralize Jesus Christ in the doctrines of election and predestination and in doing so to offer a reply to Calvinism's interpretation of scripture.
