Summary
Dr. Leighton Flowers plays a sermon from Lakepointe Church in Rockwall, TX by teaching pastor, Josh Howerton, who uses Acts 18:10 to teach a lesson on Predestination.
When Jesus said to his disciples, "I am with you, and no man will attack you in order to harm you, for I have many people in this city," was He meaning to communicate that He had unconditionally pre-chosen some of the people in the city that He was going to irresistibly cause to have faith, or was he simply pointing out that there were many God-fearing people in the city who, like Cornelius or Lydia, were open to hearing the good news about Jesus?

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to Sochiology 101. |
| 0:13.1 | Today we're going to be talking about Acts chapter 18 verse 10, where Jesus talks about |
| 0:18.9 | that there will be many in the city that are mine. |
| 0:21.6 | There's, in other words, don't fear. |
| 0:23.7 | It's got things taken care of. |
| 0:25.4 | There are many in the city. |
| 0:27.2 | And so we're going to talk about that because that's often used. |
| 0:30.2 | I remember as a Calvinist, using that as a proof text for Calvinism. |
| 0:33.7 | And we're going to talk about why it's not a proof text for Calvinism by engaging with a sermon that's actually here local to me. |
| 0:42.3 | It's a church I was a part of for a long time, Lake Point Church. |
| 0:45.3 | It used to be Lake Point Baptist Church, which is called Lake Point Church now. |
| 0:48.8 | Steve Strupe was the founder of that church and a friend of the family and known Steve forever. |
| 0:58.7 | I know, happen to know Steve is not a Calvinist and that he's had teaching pastors over the years who lean more Calvinistic, some friends of mine even. |
| 1:02.3 | And so this is a little closer to home because this is actually a local church. |
| 1:06.4 | And my mom and dad listened to their messages quite regularly. |
| 1:09.4 | I listen to Josh quite regularly. He reminds me a lot of |
| 1:12.8 | my friend Matt Chandler. I don't think that Josh would even probably, if you cornered him, asked him, |
| 1:19.4 | you know, are you a Calvinist? He would probably deny being a Calvinist. I'm guessing. I don't know. |
| 1:25.1 | Based upon this message, there are several things that he says that I would actually not contend with. I mean, I actually would agree with, but it depends on |
| 1:33.0 | your vocabulary, dictionary situation, as we've talked about before. Sometimes people have the |
| 1:37.5 | same vocabulary, but a different dictionary. They're defining words differently. And there's certain |
| 1:41.1 | things that Josh says here that I would just sign off on, |
