Sermons on Gods Sovereign Will:

Worthy Is The Lamb! (Revelation 5)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 8, 2024

The Lord Jesus Christ has all things and events under His Divine and Sovereign control. He has the final word on how everything will conclude. No amount of evil on the world's part will stop Him from His mission to "make all things new".

I sometimes think that when we study the book of Revelation, we tend to focus upon the impending judgments of the wicked and the horrendous consequences that follow. While God's wrath is certainly a major theme of the book, we must remember that the book of Revelation is also a book of ...read more

The Will Of God

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jun 17, 2001

Are you in His will?

The Will of God We have made the will of God into something mystical and foggy. Therefore we are always looking for it, guessing about it, worrying that we missed, etc. I believe that we miss the specific will of God in our lives because we are ignorant or disobedient to His general will. If ...read more

Psalm 86

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Feb 22, 2016

David's crying out to the Lord shows us total dependence, something that more of us can benefit from today. It is when we humble ourselves fully that God truly can work in our lives ... so will we submit to His will and His majesty?

Psalm 86 - The psalms are always portions of scripture which we can use to cry out -- Sometimes, even when we don’t know what to pray – we can pray scripture - If you will remember, David had some real life challenges Affair with Bathsheba Had his best friend (soldier in his army) ...read more

A Counter Decree Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 23, 2021

Our lives face much adversity at times, but we can rest in the sovereign hand of God. Thankfully His Word is forever settled and it will never be altered or countered by the devices of men or Satan.

A Counter Decree Esther 8: 9-17 Although much had changed in a short period of time, work remained for Esther and Mordecai. We must understand the process involved regarding an official decree of the king. Once a decree was signed, it could not be altered or changed. It remained law until it was ...read more

Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Oct 14, 2019

This is the 27th sermon in a series on the Gospel of John. In this sermon we discuss Jesus healing the man who was born blind, and how that displays the glory of God. We look at some misconceptions people might have about illness, and focus on God's sovereignty and purposes in all things.

Sovereignty Of God

Contributed by Colin Bain on Nov 13, 2007

How do we understand a God who is so very different from us and sometimes appears almost evil?

Do you remember your first love? Do you remember the feelings that you had when you entered into their presence? Perhaps struck dumb? Overpowered by emotion? You may on the other hand have gabbled all kinds of nonsense. You changed your daily routine for a glimpse of the one who had you trapped in ...read more

Doubting God’s Provision

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Mar 19, 2017

Like the Israelites of old, we are quick to complain and grumble and quarrel, and our fight really is with God, doubting his provision, forgetting what he has done for us in the past. But God is present and at work if we will only trust him.

Exodus 17:1-7 Doubting God’s Provision Do you wake up grumpy in the morning? No, just let him sleep! (That’s an old joke.) I went to the dentist this week, and I heard a patient in the cubicle next to me grumbling about the fee. She said, “Two hundred bucks for one tooth extraction! And it’s only ...read more

God’s Promise For The Rebellious Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Mar 10, 2025

If you’re not following God, then who are you following? For example, if you are following the enemy of God, then why would your ending be different than what is awaiting him in eternity?

The Sovereignty Of God Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 8, 2015

God’s the infinite Ruler of all; He is “running the show.” Nothing can prevent His predetermined plan. Nothing takes Him by surprise. Those who see God’s hand in everything can best leave everything in God’s hand.

It’s been said, “How do you make God laugh? Tell Him your plans” (G.K. Chesterton). Our plans aren’t always in line with God’s. We may try to fight God’s will, but someone pointed out, “Your arms are too short to box with God” (J. W. Johnson). The ...read more
