Hyper-Grace, Open Theism, and Other Dangerous Doctrines Exposed

About this sermon

Welcome to the second installment of our series on the gifts of the Holy Spirit! In Part 2, we continue our deep dive into one of the most pressing questions in the church today: Are the miraculous gifts—healing, prophecy, miracles—still available for believers? We explore why many hold a “cessationist” view (that gifts have ceased) and examine the biblical evidence showing that God still moves in power. Drawing from personal stories of healings at Westminster Chapel, we reaffirm that God’s character does not change—He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. However, we also learn the importance of approaching Him with humility, saying, “If you will, you can,” just as the leper did in Matthew 8. Beyond these foundational truths, we delve into two crucial disciplines—daily Bible reading and prayer—as keys to walking in greater intimacy with the Holy Spirit. We highlight dangerous doctrines like “hyper-grace” and “open theism” and explain why they undermine God’s sovereignty. Finally, we share life-giving insights from Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones on experiencing the Holy Spirit directly and personally. Join us for this encouraging conversation, and discover how solid theology and deep devotion can help you stand firm, discern the times, and truly experience God’s Spirit today.
