Ronald Hanko preaches about the central truth of the Reformed faith, which is the sovereignty of God, emphasizing that predestination is not the central truth but rather a part of the doctrine. The absolute sovereignty of God is the core of Calvinism, faithful to its heritage, as seen in the confession of God's sovereignty by believers. The knowledge of God is highlighted as man's highest calling and greatest good, with salvation itself consisting of knowing God. The sermon delves into God's sovereignty over all things, including creation, men, salvation, and even the adversities of life, refuting objections and denials of God's sovereignty in various aspects of life.

Ronald Hanko preaches on the doctrine of total depravity, emphasizing its importance as the foundational truth that describes man's sinful nature and wretched condition, highlighting the need for God's grace in salvation. The doctrine of total depravity reveals man's rebellious and deliberately evil nature, emphasizing that he is conceived and born a sinner due to original sin. This doctrine is crucial as it leads to a correct diagnosis of man's spiritual condition, showing the necessity of God's grace in the other four points of Calvinism for salvation.

Ronald Hanko preaches on the doctrine of unconditional election, emphasizing its importance as the second of the Five Points of Calvinism represented by the letter U in the acronym TULIP. He highlights that the gospel declares the suffering and death of Jesus Christ for the elect, those predestined unto salvation, and that faith is worked only in the hearts of the elect. Hanko stresses the practical value of understanding predestination, refuting misconceptions that it is a doctrine of little benefit or solely the invention of theologians. He echoes John Calvin's unwavering commitment to proclaiming the free election of God, emphasizing the greatness of God's goodness in calling the faithful to salvation.

Ronald Hanko preaches on the doctrine of limited atonement, the third of the Five Points of Calvinism, emphasizing the importance of understanding that Christ's death on the cross is efficacious and fully saves those for whom He died. The doctrine of limited atonement is often misunderstood and rejected, causing division among believers, but it is crucial to grasp that Christ's death is not merely a possibility of salvation but a guarantee of eternal life for His chosen people. This doctrine impacts how the gospel is preached, missions are carried out, witnessing is conducted, assurance of salvation is obtained, and the glory of God is praised, highlighting the sovereignty of God in salvation.

Ronald Hanko delves into the theological debate on whether salvation depends on God's grace or the sinner's free will, emphasizing the doctrine of irresistible grace. Irresistible grace asserts that when God determines to save a person, nothing can hinder that salvation, highlighting the sovereignty of God in the process. The sermon explores key Bible passages supporting salvation by grace alone, the denial of free will, and the practical importance of understanding irresistible grace for assurance of salvation and intercessory prayer.

Ronald Hanko preaches on the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints, the last of the Five Points of Calvinism, emphasizing that those who are truly saved will continue in faith and salvation to the very end. The sermon addresses misunderstandings of this doctrine and highlights the responsibility of believers to persevere in faith and holiness, emphasizing that saints are made holy by God's grace and not by their own works. The importance of prayer, gospel preaching, holiness, and finding peace through the assurance of God's faithfulness in preserving His people are key practical implications of the doctrine of perseverance.
