The below video can also be accessed on YouTube at https://youtu.be/lNipkvikmFI?t=976. The link goes to the timestamp in the video when the sermon starts. The video itself contains more than just the sermon; it is the Sunday morning worship service of Faith Community Church in Hampton, NH from March 30, 2025. Brian Abasciano, the President of SEA, is also the Senior Pastor of Faith Community Church. And this sermon is on one of the main passages in the Arminian/Calvinist debate, one of the main passages Calvinists appeal to to support Calvinism. The sermon does not focus on the Arminian/Calvinism debate but is an expositional sermon on the passage from an Arminian scholar and pastor. One of our members outlined the sections of the sermon with timestamps, and those are listed out below below the video and are also included in the video description on YouTube where the timestamps are hyperlinked to the video.
