Podcasts about sovereignty of god

Today Pastor Mike is riding solo discussing the beautiful sovereignty of God, and the disastrous sin of man. This should be something we desire to understand dive into as the meaning of life is wrapped up in the truth of this.

In this sobering and soul-searching message, Pastor Karl dives deep into Matthew 5:17–48, where Jesus declares that He came not to abolish the Law but to fulfill it—and then raises the bar of righteousness far beyond anything the scribes and Pharisees ever imagined.Through six piercing examples—anger that murders the heart, lust that commits adultery in the mind, casual divorce, manipulative oaths, retaliation, and hatred disguised as justice—Jesus exposes the truth we all try to avoid: outward obedience is never enough. God judges the heart. Every single one of us stands guilty before His perfect standard.Yet the bad news is meant to drive us to the best news. Pastor Karl powerfully unpacks how Jesus' command in verse 48—“You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect”—is not a cruel impossible demand, but the very reason the Son of God came. We cannot achieve the righteousness God requires, so God freely gives it to us through faith in Christ. Jesus took our unrighteousness and imputes His perfect righteousness to all who repent and trust Him.A hard-hitting, heart-exposing sermon that leaves no room for self-righteousness, but ends with the liberating joy of the gospel: guilty sinners can be clothed in the very righteousness of God and stand before Him as if we had never sinned.

Shattering the 'God is in Control' Myth: Exploring Free Will and Divine SovereigntyIn this episode of Discovering Truth with Dan Duval, Dan explores the often-heard phrase “God is in control” and challenges its deeper implications regarding personal responsibility and human suffering.He argues that God does not control every event, highlighting instead the gift of free will granted to humans, angels, and even animals. Through real-life examples and key biblical references, Dan explains how the belief that God orchestrates every circumstance can foster a victim mindset and lead to flawed reasoning.He emphasizes the importance of taking personal responsibility and actively aligning our choices with God's will to manifest His kingdom on earth.

Even though persons have sinned for a long time, have been obstinate, have committed monstrous sins a thousand times, even till they have grown old in sin; if they have sinned while under the clear preaching of the Word; if they have been backsliders, and have sinned after receiving numerous solemn warnings and strivings of the Spirit, and after receiving numerous mercies of God's common providence: though the danger of such is much greater than of other sinners, yet God can save them if He pleases, for the sake of Christ, without any prejudice to any of his attributes. He may have mercy on whom He will have mercy. He may have mercy on the greatest of sinners, if He pleases, and the glory of none of His attributes will dishonored in the least. Such is the sufficiency of the satisfaction and righteousness of Christ, that none of the divine attributes stand in the way of the salvation of any of them. Thus the glory of any attribute did not at all suffer by Christ's saving some of those that crucified Him.

A new MP3 sermon from The Narrated Puritan is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: The Sovereignty of God and Human Responsibility - 1 of 2 Subtitle: Sovereignty of God Speaker: A. W. Pink Broadcaster: The Narrated Puritan Event: Audiobook Date: 11/6/2025 Length: 30 min.

One of the most flagrant sins of our age, is that of irreverence—the failure to ascribe the glory which is due to the august majesty of God. Men limit the power and activities of the Lord in their degrading concepts of His being and character. Originally, man was made in the image and likeness of God—but today we are asked to believe in a god who is made in the image and likeness of man! The Creator is reduced to the level of the creature! His omniscience is called into question, His omnipotency is no longer believed in, and His absolute sovereignty is flatly denied. Men claim to be the architects of their own fortunes and the determiners of their own destiny. They know not that their lives are at the disposal of the Divine Determiner. They know not they have no more power to thwart His secret decrees—than a worm has to resist the tread of an elephant!

How can the sinner be held responsible for the doing of what he is unable to do? And how can he be justly condemned for not doing what he could not do? As a creature the natural man is responsible to love, obey, and serve God; as a sinner he is responsible to repent and believe the Gospel. But at the outset we are confronted with the fact that natural man is unable to love and serve God, and that the sinner, of himself,

God's sovereignty means nothing exists apart from His relationship, nothing happens outside His purposeful activity, and nothing can thwart His gracious design in Christ. The apostles in Acts 5 demonstrate how we can live fearlessly despite opposition because God's plans cannot be stopped, as proven by Christ's resurrection. We don't need to fear failure because when we align with God's will, ultimate victory is assured. We don't need to fear inadequacy because God uses ordinary people and His strength is made perfect in our weakness. We don't need to fear pain because opposition often confirms we're walking in obedience, and suffering for Christ's sake is an honor that makes us more like our Savior.

“All things are possible with God!” — in front the words give hope, and behind they give humility. They are the antidote to both despair and pride.

Deuteronomy 10:12-11:1

Romans 9 & 11

We are finite creatures serving an infinite God, so we must keep learning and growing. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the need for a spiritual understanding of God's movements in the earth. We heard from speakers including Pastor John Amanchukwu, Pastor Rob McCoy, Eric Metaxas, and others during the 2025 Culture & Christianity Conference, and Pastor Allen shares some takeaways from their messages. Holiness and courage must take precedence over our happiness and comfort, and we must renew and deepen our respect for the Lord. Christianity demands of us a willingness to sacrifice our lives—so will we say to the Lord, “I'll follow you”?

Be freed from the burden of bearing your own load. Let God do that work. God loves to show his God-ness by working for us.

Pastor Chip Stevens

God does not need us. Instead, his infinite self-sufficiency spills over in love to us who need him.

If none of God's purposes can be frustrated, then he must be the happiest of all beings.

Welcome to the sermon. Today we're in Exodus chapter two. We often think of the Exodus as a "movement of the people," but it's not an uprising. The people are stuck. This is a move of God. He is the one who steps in to rescue the oppressed. As we study the life of Moses, remember this: God will do something in you before He does something through you. Moses's life is a mini-exodus that sets the pattern for the entire nation.Scripture ReferencesExodus 2: The birth, rescue, failure, and flight of Moses.Acts 7:21-22: Describes Moses's education and power in Egypt.Hebrews 11:24-26: Explains Moses's faith in choosing to identify with God's people.Song of Songs 8:5: "Who is that coming up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved?"Key Points1. God Delivers the DelivererAgainst the dark backdrop of infanticide, God sovereignly rescues Moses. His mother places him in a basket—described by the Hebrew word for "ark"—and he is saved through the very waters meant for judgment. In an incredible twist, the Pharaoh who ordered Moses's death ends up paying for his upbringing. God was preparing a deliverer right under the nose of the enemy. This is a move of God, not of people.2. God Gets Egypt Out of MosesMoses, mighty in the wisdom and power of Egypt, tries to be a deliverer in his own strength. He murders an Egyptian, only to be rejected by his own people. This failure teaches a crucial lesson: our own strength, status, and timing are not enough. God led Moses out of Egypt and into the wilderness to get the pride and self-reliance of Egypt out of him.3. The Wilderness Teaches DependenceThe wilderness is where we learn the prayer, "He must become more, and I must become less." For 40 years, the prince of Egypt became a humble shepherd. The wilderness is where God strips away what we lean on so that we come out leaning only on Him. He uses these mundane, difficult seasons to prepare us for what's next.ConclusionMoses's story points to Jesus, the greater Deliverer. Moses saw his people's suffering; God saw and knew. Moses identified with his people at great cost; Jesus identified with us by leaving heaven. God's goal is not just to get you out of bondage, but to bring you to Himself. He is leading a cosmic exodus to rescue you from sin and bring you into a covenant relationship with Him.Calls to ActionEmbrace God's Sovereignty: Recognize that your salvation and deliverance are a move of God, not your own works.Trust the Process: Allow God to work in you, even in frustrating seasons of preparation, before you expect Him to work through you.Lean on Him: In your wilderness, ask God what props you're leaning on and learn to lean on Him alone.

Confidence in God's absolute control is the source and power of radical obedience to the call of God.
