Soteriology Series | Lesson 5: Predestination & Election

Few doctrines stir more wonder — or more controversy — than predestination and election. In this lesson from our Doctrinal Statement Deep Dive series, Pastor Lance Nelson works through what Scripture actually teaches about God's sovereign choice to save, and why this doctrine is not a cold philosophical puzzle but one of the most worship-fueling truths in all of the Bible.

We cover:

• What election is — and what it isn't
• How election runs as a thread through all of redemptive history
• What God's electing grace actually accomplishes in us
• How divine sovereignty and human responsibility are held together in Scripture
• The implications of election for grace, assurance, the church, worship, and world missions
