The Mystery of God's Mercy

by Pastor Barreca on Jan 25th 2009 (All day)

TODAY, we will learn about the things God wants us to know concerning the way He chooses. This study will bring us to the INTERSECTION of theology and living.

I like to explain it this way. I’m a DAYTIME Arminian, meaning that during the day, I pray and witness like everything depends on me.

This sermon will help you understand the important theological truths of election and responsibility, and avoid the traps of two dangerous extremes.

But I’m a NIGHT TIME Calvinist, meaning that when I rest my head at night, I rest knowing God is in control. I worship him for saving me!

This message explores deep theological truths concerning the mind of God. We cannot understand the mind of God. "“Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”" (Romans 11:34) God has revealed some things to us. Other things, He alone knows. (Deuteronomy 29:29) "The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law." Our goal from this passage: ‒ The things God wants us to know concerning the way He chooses. ‒ Why has God revealed these things? How does this truth effect our lives? ‒ The INTERSECTION of theology and living.
