A Survey of the Reformation, pts. 7 – 10: The Five Points of Calvinism, Answering Objections & Why the Reformation Matters

~ Bob Hayton

This Fall, I’ve been teaching a 10 part Adult Sunday School series called “A Survey of the Reformation: Its History and Doctrine.” We finally have the audio up for the final four lessons in this series. I finish out the Five Points of Calvinism over the course of these lessons, and in the final session I make room for answering objections and wrap up the series looking at why all this matters.

The lesson plan for the entire series (which has changed some) is below, and you can download the audio or view the slides from the lessons as they are completed.

  1. Bob, have you been over to Kent Brandenburg’s blog lately? He’s been accusing the Reformers of “damnable heresy” and telling people to leave Protestant churches and join “Bible-believing Baptist churches.” Brandenburg’s writing is in my opinion a perfect example of the cultic thinking of the IFBx movement, as is his KJV-only writing.

    1. Funny you should mention him, Nicholas. He was my pastor for about 2 years or so. I think his thinking is flawed, but he is a good man. Unfortunately, he is a fierce debating opponent who rarely admits he’s wrong. This makes it difficult to interact with him. You can find numerous interactions here between myself and Brandenburg on a variety of topics. But I’m at the point where I can’t interact with him again on anything, pretty much. It isn’t edifying to me and doesn’t serve any practical purpose anymore for me.

      Blessings,

      Bob

  3. You commented on one of my replies and linked me to these. Thank you!! Because of family stuff time is a bit limited so have skipped to the doctrine but will be back for the history(love history!) These are really well done and very easy to understand. Thank you for making these available to those of us who are in need of some good sound information.
