Pastor Sean addressess the major events and individuals of the post-Reformation era up to modern day.

Arminians say that God purposely LIMITS His power in order to preserve the free will of humans. He maintains a “general” plan for the future, but that future is significantly affected by what humans DECIDE to do. Only on rare occasions does God direcltly intervene in the course of history and override man’s decisions. Is this what the Bible teaches? Or is God absolutely and meticulously sovereign over all things?
