Calvinism's Foundational Experience

In this lesson, Pastor Hamilton addresses the foundational experience that lies at the heart of Calvinism. As he does so, we are called to consider Isaiah 6 and the "common notes" that all believers share in the Christian life—even when the circumstances of their conversions vary. Pastor Hamilton shows us that God replicates such "notes" in every person trusting in Jesus Christ alone for salvation.
