The Providence of God: Part 1

I want to speak on the subject of the Providence of God. This is a subject that is not often taught. In all my years as a Christian, I have never heard someone speak specifically on this subject. There have been many who bring up various passages that deal with the Providence of God, but it is more often just an “aside” than a “specific”.

The Providence of God: Part 2

“Providence is God’s loving care and provision and Sovereignty is God’s supreme power and authority over His creation.”

This teaching should be familiar to most of you, because it will remind you of God’s sovereignty over good and evil and that we can be confident of His promises to bring good out of our lives.

The Providence of God: Part 3

One of the early church fathers once said that if the whole of Scripture was a feast for the soul, Romans 8 was the main dish. Romans 8:28-31 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.”

The Providence of God: Part 4

Now as we continue our study on the Providence of God, you will recall that in our last lesson we looked at the popular passage in Roman 8:28, where the apostle, with tremendous optimism tells us “All things work together for good for those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose.” Hopefully, you remember in that discussion that I raised the point that everything that happens to us being ultimately good.
