The Man With the Plan
How do we reconcile Divine sovereignty and human responsibility? How can human beings make free choices when God is still sovereign? 1st Kings 12:1-24 offers insight...and hope for those who have made or even been on the receiving end of terrible, life-shattering decisions.

Blessed Persecution, Pt. 2 (Matthew 5:10-12)
Persecution, in all its forms and various degrees, is and has been the experience of the righteous ever since the blood of Abel was shed by his brother Cain. We often respond to ridicule, harassment, and other forms of persecution with anger, resentment, retaliation, and judgment. However, this is sin and we need to come to grips with the Lord's commands in Matthew 5:10-12 and respond with rejoicing, gladness, and graciousness. It is not easy and it certainly is not something we do in our own strength; it is a fruit of grace in the heart. The Christian, however, has a hope in heaven and a reward from the Lord for humble obedience that is our true hope and encouragement as we live out our faith in the midst of a hostile world.

Sovereignty and election
Is someone being a Christian ultimately attributable to their location, chance events in their life (think the film Sliding Doors) or because God chose them? And if he chose them to be, on what basis did He do it? Was it on the basis of foreseen good works, or even foreseen faith – does God pick those who are going to pick him?! No. A person trusts in Jesus because God chose them by grace (completely unmerited favour from the Lord) alone, but why? And doesn’t this mean they will live a deliberately sinful life knowing that they are chosen and therefore will be saved? And doesn’t this make the person proud if they believe they have been chosen and others haven't? And doesn’t it make evangelism pointless – since some are chosen anyway? Is it fair? Is it good news? Note: this sermon was followed by a time of Q&A.

God's Glory in Salvation (John 17, Bob Brainard)
God's manifold glory in the salvation of men is no more clearly set forth than in the Lord's High Priestly prayer, found in John 17. The sovereignty of God, the knowledge of Christ, the eternal glory that is Christ's and that believers will forever behold as the redeemed in the presence of their Redeemer are all realities that await us who know Him. And all this, "To the praise of the glory of His grace."
