Does Calvinism Undermine the Sufficiency of God’s Word?
Soteriology 101 w/ Dr. Leighton Flowers
teaching
April 21, 2026
Is the Word of God alone enough to lead someone to salvation—or does it require something more?
In this episode, we examine what Scripture actually says about the power, sufficiency, and purpose of God’s Word. From Deuteronomy to Romans, the Bible consistently teaches that the Word is near, clear, and able to save. So why do some theological systems suggest otherwise?
We break down key passages showing:
The Word is “in your mouth and in your heart”
It is able to make you wise unto salvation
The Spirit works through the Word
And yet—people still resist it
Is the issue a lack of power… or a lack of response?
