Highland Park Baptist Church - Sermons

At some point we've all wrestled with understanding unanswered prayers.

So how do we address this objection that trips up so many? Join us as we explore this issue.

Christian churches and individuals are often called hypocrites. This is largely due to examples of Christians not always living out God's teaching in their day to day lives. But is this a fair accusation and even if it is, does it invalidate the Christian Faith? Join us as we explore this Big Objection.

This is the first part of a series in which we will explore the core teachings of Calvinism and see...
