Chosen but not Coerced // John 6:66-71

Sermon Outline: https://chosen-but-not-coerced-4z6q0gi.gamma.site/Description:In John 6, Jesus declares Himself the Bread of Life and reveals a mystery that has stretched the minds and hearts of believers for centuries: God’s providence in salvation and our responsibility to believe. Many disciples turned away, but Peter confessed, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”In this message, Pastor Nathan unpacks the tension and beauty of being chosen but not coerced—that salvation is fully a work of God’s grace, yet we are called to believe. Together we explore:The Father’s drawing and the Spirit’s life-giving workWhy disbelief flows from our sinful natureHow God’s providence humbles us and fuels our worshipThe mystery of divine sovereignty and human responsibilityThis teaching reminds us that providence is not fate, but the wise, holy, and gracious outworking of God’s sovereignty for His glory and our good. If you want life—believe in Christ. And if you believe, it is evidence that God has already been pursuing you.📖 Main Text: John 6:66–71📖 Supporting Scriptures: Ephesians 1, Romans 8, Psalm 147🎯 Topics: divine providence, sovereignty of God, free will, election, predestination, salvation by grace
