Podcasts about god is sovereign

Greg adds another thought to the objection he addressed in the last episode, then he answers questions about possible proof Proverbs 21:30 is objectively true, drawing lots to get a message from God, grace for sanctification, and blaming God for bad things that happen.   Topics: Commentary: Man's free will doesn't determine the course of the universe. (00:00) Does the fact that reason, logic, and deduction seem to be irreducibly complex prove that Proverbs 21:30 is objectively true and not just religious jargon? (06:00) How should we take the Acts 1:23–26 passage, where they drew lots to get a message from God about who should replace Judas, and when is it our place to challenge leaders who are teaching something that isn't biblical? (14:00) Does the Bible teach that grace is required for sanctification? (29:00) Why does God get the credit for all good things but doesn't get the blame for bad things (like natural disasters or disease)?

In Today's Secular Uncertainties, God is Sovereign; and God “the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he {God} will” MESSAGE SUMMARY: Political discord and health care uncertainties surround us in all directions today. Without Jesus in our lives, we have reasons to be anxious and fearful. However, Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:31: “Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.”. The future years may hurt our pride, wallets, and/or our freedom. On the other hand, we should not let the current secular political environment and culture hinder our resolve to continue in our fearless faith in the truth; our constant hope in the future; and our radical love for our neighbors. God has a plan; and, regardless of how things look from our eyes, we must remain faithful to His purpose. Now is the time to draw near to Jesus and to advance His Kingdom. Our gaze must remain on Jesus if we want to walk on the water during the storm. God is the King of Kings and the Sovereign God of the Universe. As Daniel interpreted King Nebuchadnezzar's dream in Daniel 4:17 when God told Nebuchadnezzar: “to the end that the living may know that the Most High {God} rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he {God} will and sets over it the lowliest of men.”. God is always involved in our lives, and He gives the government offices “to whom he will”, even if the political processes produce “the lowliest of men {or women}”. Sometimes, we receive the elected officials we need, and sometimes we receive the elected officials that we deserve; but God is always Sovereign and faithful.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Father, I confess that when difficulties and trials come into my life, large or small, I mostly grumble and complain. I realize the trials James talks about are not necessarily “walls,” but they are difficult to bear, nonetheless. Fill me with such a vision of a transformed life, O God, that I might actually consider it “pure joy” when you bring trials my way. I believe, Lord. Help my unbelief. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 94). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be a complainer (Philippians 2:14). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14).

Subtitle: Devotional Speaker: Larry Phillips Broadcaster: Pineville Sovereign Grace Fellowship Event: Devotional Date: 8/5/2025 Bible: Revelation 17:14 Length: 12 min.

You are God, and I am not. You knew me before I was formed. You know the number of hairs on my head. You sent Your Son for me. Help me stay grateful—even for the next breath. I trust You again. Amen." God's sovereignty isn't just a doctrine. It's a pillow for your weary soul. Rest on it tonight.

Psalm 127 - God is Sovereign Over ALL things!1) Because God is sovereign, He can be trusted in the day by day. (1-2)2) Because God is sovereign, He can be trusted with our family. (3-5)

Despite the devil's lie, God's sovereignty is actually the best reason to pray because it gives us confidence in the fulfillment of His promises.

Josh Gilchrist // Psalm 147 and selected Scriptures Sermon notes

About This Episode Why does a sovereign God tell us to pray? He knows what we need, does what He pleases, and can't be changed by human manipulation. If we're honest, sometimes it can seem like prayer is pointless, and that makes it even more difficult to "pray without ceasing." In this episode, I explore why prayer isn't our way of changing God's will, but His way of changing ours.  Timestamps: 00:00 Intro and the "problem" of prayer 7:25 Understanding whom we pray to 10:22 3 things prayer accomplishes in Christians 11:03 #1 Prayer acknowledges that God is God 12:33 #2 Prayer demonstrates our trust in God being God 20:11 #3 Prayer asks God to act as God 54:19 Reminder why my content isn't short! 54:48 Summarizing this discussion Book mentioned: "Sovereignty of God" by AW Pink Scripture Used: Matthew 6:8b Psalm 115:3 1 John 5:14-15 James 4:1-3 2 Corinthians 12:8-9 Psalm 50:12-15 Jeremiah 29:11-14 Romans 8:28-29 1 Thessalonians 4:3 Support My Work  • Monthly Support: https://www.Patreon.com/OnwardintheFaith  • One-Time Donations: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/OnwardintheFaith | https://account.venmo.com/u/Ray-Burns-6 Check Out My Devotionals on Amazon (affiliate links):  • 40 Moments From Christ's Final Days: https://amzn.to/4kGDDgE  • 25 Days of Christ in the Old Testament: https://amzn.to/41GuqfK Hashtags #Christianity #Theology #Faith #Pain #Suffering #ChronicPain Music Credits  • YouTube Outro Music by UNIVERSFIELD from Pixabay  • Podcast Outro Music by LesFM from Pixabay

To know God is to acknowledge His sovereignty!

Have you ever wondered, If God is in control, why does life feel so out of control? In this meditation, we’ll explore the comforting truth of God’s sovereignty through Isaiah 46:9-11. This passage was spoken to God's people during a time of exile and uncertainty. Just as it reassured them, it reminds us today: even when life feels chaotic, God is still in control. His plans always prevail. As you listen, you’ll be guided to reflect on God’s sovereignty over all things and remember how He has worked in your life before. We’ll also explore how He’s inviting you to trust His good plans today. Whether you’re waiting for God’s plans to unfold or simply need a reminder that He is still in control, this meditation will help you pause, reflect, and rest in the truth: God’s good and sovereign plan will come to pass.

What does it mean that God is immutable? What does it mean that God does not change? What does it mean that God is sovereign? What does it mean God is entirely in control of everything?

Speaker: Pastor Jason McMullen - The weekly podcast of Deeper Fellowship Church, led by Pastor William McDowell

“I know that you can do anything, and no one can stop you.” (Job 42:2 NLT) Sovereignty is a tough concept to wrap our heads around, especially in today's highly influenceable culture. Everyone answers to someone. Public figures change their stances based on the feedback they get. Politicians are swayed by donors. Corporations react to boycotts. In contrast to the famous sign on Harry Truman's desk, the buck doesn't seem to stop anywhere. There is no ultimate authority, no sovereignty. Except with God. Job scratched the surface of God's sovereignty when he said to God, “I know that you can do anything, and no one can stop you” (Job 42:2 NLT). In fact, God will do what He pleases with whomever He chooses whenever He wishes. That's absolute power. God answers to no one. He is not swayed by public opinion or conventional wisdom. He doesn't have to ask anyone's permission or worry about anyone's reaction. He doesn't seek approval, likes, or popularity. God can't be second-guessed because everything He does is perfect. His ways are right—always and without fail. Psalm 115:3 says, “Our God is in the heavens, and he does as he wishes” (nlt). Some people challenge His sovereignty by asking, “What about the bad things that happen in life? Are they part of what He wishes?” And the answer is yes. Evil, suffering, and tragedy aren't arguments against a sovereign God. They are all firmly under His control. Whatever happens in this life, good or bad, is either caused by God or allowed by God. I know that's hard for some of us to digest. But that's because we're limited in our present circumstances. Someday, we will better understand the wisdom and purpose of God's plan. In the meantime, we take the word of the psalmist who wrote this about God: “Your faithfulness extends to every generation, as enduring as the earth you created. Your regulations remain true to this day, for everything serves your plans” (Psalm 119:90–91 NLT). Everything serves God's plans. The apostle Paul wrote, “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them” (Romans 8:28 NLT). Everything is part of God's good plan. In Paul's words, we find the most amazing truth about God's sovereignty. The English historian Lord Acton wrote that absolute power corrupts absolutely. But he was referring to human authorities, none of whom ever possessed “absolute power.” The amazing truth is that God, who does possess absolute power, uses His power to accomplish genuinely good things in the lives of His people. God's sovereignty can't be separated from His love. That means we can trust Him to care for us. We may not always understand what that care looks like or why certain things happen, but we can be confident that God will work all things for our good. No one and nothing can thwart His will. We can rest assured in His sovereignty. — Listen to the Greg Laurie Podcast Become a Harvest PartnerSupport the show: https://harvest.org/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
