Sovereignty 12. I have to hand it out to you who have stuck with me all this way looking at the sovereignty of God. If you have, you will recall that we saw that God is sovereign over ALL. [Romans 11:36 For from Him and through Him and to Him are ALL things. To Him be glory for eternity! Amen.] And of…

Sovereignty 11. Here I am up preaching, again. You probably say, “Paul’s preaching; what will he be speaking about? It will be the sovereignty of God again!” I’ve been stuck on the same topic for over a year now, and yes you are right: it’s the sovereignty of God again! If you were here last time you…

Sovereignty 5. We have been looking at the subject of the sovereignty of God [P]. So often we look at things from man’s perspective; it’s natural because, after all, we are men, living here on earth. We have an earthly perspective, rational and reasoned. We trace things back by their mechanistic cause,…

Sovereignty 3. We have been having a look at the subject of the sovereignty of God. Alex led the meeting last time I spoke and did a bit of research: he looked up “sovereignty” in the Bible – only to find that it is not there! Unless you use the NIV which, due to a peculiarity of translation, has it…

Sovereignty 6. I don’t know if you recall, but last time I spoke I set a little homework exercise. You don’t remember? It’s always a good excuse when it comes to homework: “I forgot”! We have been looking at the sovereignty of God, and last time, in particular, His sovereignty over animals. I gave example…

Sovereignty 4. Who still says “grace” before they eat their meal? [P] It may be considered old-fashioned and become just a habit – but it is a good one – acknowledging that all you have to eat is provided by God, thanking Him for what He faithfully and constantly gives in abundance. Our family always…

Sovereignty 10 Having attended this fellowship for over 15 years, in all that time I have never heard any teaching on a regular part of church life: the church lunch. So I thought that I would correct that omission this morning. So, … there is going to be a church lunch; …. and you are faced with the…

Sovereignty of God 8 (A tale of two kings) What do you do these days if you want to find out about something? – you Google it! [P] Even at work, if we come across something obscure and want to find out about it, we say, “Ask Dr. Google.” The internet has the answer to everything! Right? It is omniscient!…

Sovereignty 9. I remember, it was not long after we came to New Zealand, we went down south and stayed at Duntroon in the Waitaki valley. We went to the little church there one Sunday and were invited to dinner by some people who had a farm. This was the first time I had been to a farm. Look, I was a…

Sovereignty 13. The year is drawing to a close, so I thought I ought to draw to a close this extended series that I have been doing on the sovereignty of God. [P] I actually think that I could continue it until the LORD returns. I stated right at the beginning that viewing sovereignty is like looking…

Sovereign Christmas. Christmas is getting very close! I have an aunty who makes all these wonderful creative cards, so this year I thought that I would have a go at making my own Christmas card. [P] What do you think? A nice traditional snowy picture, a fairly standard Christmas greeting: “I wish you…

Sovereignty 7. We have had a bit of an interlude, there was Christmas and the holidays; and then I did a couple of talks on what happens when you die. But you may recall that last year I started a series on the sovereignty of God, and today I want to take up that theme again. This morning I want you…
