Man's Impotency

Summary

Elder Neal Phelan, Jr. preaches on the doctrine of man's total depravity and inability to recover himself from the fallen state by his own free will or ability. He emphasizes that spiritually, man is dead in trespasses and sins, unable to seek or understand God without the sovereign work of the Holy Spirit. The sermon highlights biblical evidence from Romans, Psalms, Jeremiah, John, and other scriptures to show that man is spiritually blind, deaf, and at enmity with God until born again. The preacher also addresses common objections about free will, affirming that salvation is entirely of God's mercy and not human decision.
