In our sermon this week, we jump back into our series on an examination of what it means to be a Reformed Baptist. One of the fundamental aspects of being Reformed is treasuring the Doctrines of Grace. The Doctrines of Grace themselves are an exposition of Sola Gratia (Grace Alone) and Soli Deo Gloria (God's Glory Alone) which we find in the Five Solas. The Doctrines of Grace themselves, better known as The Five Points of Calvinism and the oft recited acronym TULIP, have been points, no pun intended, of ongoing contention in Christian circles. But are the five points some ugly monster that is imposed in the Bible by force in order to remove the will of man as is often claimed? Or are they actually biblical realities found in scripture? Are humans initially born innocent in the eyes of God? Or are we tainted by sin from the beginning? Is it possible to give God the glory He is due unless we first understand just how hellish and deplorable our natural condition is? Join us this week for Part I of our examination of "Total Depravity," or the "T" in TULIP, as we attempt to answer these questions and more.
