can I ask? when was this message originally preached?
Late 80’s - 90’s era
💚
R.C.’s pants are proof of human free will.
😂 nah that morning decision was just depraved.
@peteryang2067 nice response 👍
The first thing I said to myself was "they had to go for the full body shot this time for the sake of those pants" 😂😂😂😂
@soundsource6908 indeed, it seemed like the camera panned out a lot more than usual.
😂😂😂😂
It is never about us it’s all about HIM
Amen!
Pastor R.C. Sproul, gifted pastor and teacher. Glory to our God for his faithful service to the church.
He wasn't a pastor. Theologian.
What a gift, this gentleman and his life's ministry. !!❤ Praise the Lord for all His goodness towards us, by having years of studies and teachings preserved this way for our continual benefit.
God is sovereign - gosh love the way he brings it all together at the end. God works everything down to the smallest detail - all started with a coat!
한국어로 자동번역되어 너무 감사합니다. 하나님께 영광!
Love the pants!
NO PROPHECY OF GOD
NO FULFILMENT- IT’S ALL ABOUT HIM
THE SOVEREIGN GOD
Our God is concerne about even the smallest details
“And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out” Luke19:37-40
Blessed this Saturday morning by this Word🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Amen! Praise God for His perfect sovereign will!
Such an amazing part of scripture this is
Haleluyah.
Thank you for this.
Almost twinning with the chalkboard 😮
Ha ha! He's in heaven wondering, "What was I thinking?" 😆
A few shades lighter. lol
I thought so too 😂
Insightful.
Those green pants are FIRE!
Wonderful teaching. Thank you!
I find it perplexing that for years, Jacob's sons lied to him about the death of their brother and watched him mourn, and not once did they reveal the truth until the end. Jacob the conman got conned by his own sons, horrifically.
The trickster gets tricked, for the second time! The first time was when Laban tricked Jacob into marrying Leah instead of Rachel, the woman he loved and had his heart set on.
Cover up as bad if not worse than the crime. But prophetic in showing the need for human salvation continuing apace..
🙏 Amen !. 🙏 Thank You Jesus 🙏
“I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.”
Genesis 3:15
Wow! RC is so young here with hip green trousers ; ) What year was this segment filmed?
And instead of a white board - a green chalkboard !!
Early 80’s and the kelly green w/ navy was very hip then!😉
Good stuff!
Amen, Sir!
I love the Genesis series. So many good lessons.
Also, could you guys restructure the CZcams channel to be based on what RC's hairstyle was at the time? That would be an interesting grouping.
Ha!
HAHAH
Amen amen. Amazing. The cistern
Thanks
Uufff!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Joseph was Rachel's son and Jacob loved Rachel the most. She was his original choice and he waited 7 years to marry her, but he was deceived by her Father into marrying the older sister Leah, and had to wait another 7 years to be allowed to marry Rachel. I suspect that is why Joseph was his favourite.
Thank you for sharing!
The fashion coordinator meant it for fashion, but God meant it for Christmas in 2023.
❤❤❤
Those pants tho. Nice.
Check out those pants!!
When was this recorded,
St. Patrick's day?
Great teaching! But what’s the story behind the green pants & purple shirt???
What year is this from😂😂the 90s? Early 2000s
Christmas pants. 😂
Its too late for me
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
Christmas is pagan
Christmas isn't pagan 😂
@@HearGodsWord they don’t call it Christ mass for nothing
@aletheia8054 Jesus Christ isn't pagan, and neither was his birth. Mass isn't pagan either. I'm not sure what point you thought you were trying to make there, but it seemed to add more weight against your comment than supporting it.
@@HearGodsWord Christ should have nothing to do with paganism. But when you stick a cone shaped tree in your house and tell your kids about Santa Claus, that’s exactly what you’re doing is mixing paganism and Christ.
They don’t call it a Christ mass for nothing .
He is dressed as a professor !!!!
18:34 no it was Judah. Genesis 43:8
But didn't God sovereignly create us with free moral agency to have genuine fellowship with Him? I think Calvinists conflate God's sovereignty with absolute determinism?? God's foreknowledge of all events does not make Him the causal agent of all events (see Jeremiah 19:5 for one of many examples).
Where in scripture is anyone irresistibly coerced to be saved?
Where in scripture is anyone resistably coerced?
@@HearGodsWord Matthew 19:22 & 23:37, John 5:40 & Acts 7:51. Who do you think Isaiah 1:18-20 is written to... volitional beings, or preprogrammed beings?
@mikelyons2831 thanks for showing how you either don't understand Calvinism, or are just disingenuously misrepresenting it.
@@HearGodsWord As a Pastor in my 60s, God has given me the privilege of leading many out of Calvinism & into biblical soteriology. I often discover, I know Calvinism better than many Calvinists.
@mikelyons2831 yet here you are not doing a very good job of it. You won't leaf anyone away from Calvinism with your comments. Partly, because you haven't given a valid reason to turn away, and partly because you haven't given a valid place to turn. That's why Flowers can't be taken seriously.
I can't believe his wife let him leave the house wearing those pants.😬
Ha! For real!
Lol
It takes a confident man to wear pastels like that.
@sonoftheredfox8921 yeah but you still need to be color coordinated. Especially when the focus needs to be on what you are saying, not what you're wearing. It's a total distraction from a great teaching. I'd rather have listened to it without the video. I can't unsee those loud pants. Lol
Have you considered those are khaki tan trousers and the video is 40 years old?
I love Sproul but no idea what he was thinking with those pants. They aren't doing him any favors.
Listen to the teaching and stop worrying about what he’s wearing

Remember, faith is not a reliable tool for discerning what is true from what is not true. If a person honestly, objectively cares about truth then they have no choice but to discard faith.
Your comment makes no sense
@@kimberleywalski6290 Please allow me to explain. A person can believe anything based on faith (And just to clarify I'm generally talking about faith in the religious context aka Hebrews 11:1, NOT just a synonym for confidence or trust). A person could believe tall people are superior to short people based on faith, or that they have a million dollars in their bank account based on faith...doesn't make it TRUE. That's because faith has no mechanism by which we can reliably get to truth. You cannot use faith as a tool and RELIABLY discern what is true from what is not. Thus, logically, if a person truly cares objectively about what is true then they MUST discard faith right from the outset.
This reply makes no sense
@@rocketsfan6116 get some valid understanding of theology before you post
@@kimberleywalski6290 This is entirely independent of a person's specific theology. It applies to faith in the religious sense, regardless of which belief system. Faith logically and factually speaking isn't a reliable tool to discern what is true from what is not. Lastly, if you'd like to discuss the actual theology, I'm happy to embarrass you publicly there as well. 😃
