Calvinists Are SHOCKED By THIS?

About this sermon

Discover why the claim that we should be shocked that God loves anyone is upside-down. In this deep conversation, Leighton Flowers and @AKRichardson respond to James White’s teaching on “Jacob I loved, Esau I hated,” showing from Scripture that God’s love for all people is not an unexpected twist—it’s the very heartbeat of the Gospel. We’ll unpack Romans 9, Calvinism’s view of election, and the overwhelming biblical evidence that God’s compassion is consistent and universal. If you’ve ever wrestled with God’s character or the tension between justice and mercy, this episode will challenge and encourage you.
