Sermons About Sovereignty
Trust the Lord and Do Good (1 Samuel 18 - 31)
What do we do when things don't go the way we thought or hoped? The life of David is a wonderful example. David was very successful. He was anointed king of Israel, had great success in battle, had strong friendships, married the king's daughter, and was loved by the entire nation. But Saul was jealous and afraid of David, and set out to kill him. When the "good life" turned bad, how did David respond? Notice what was absent from David's response. There was no complaining or demanding of explanation. David didn't take matters into his own hands when he had an opportunity to kill Saul. David wasn't self-centered, but showed concern for others. What did David do? He strengthened himself in the Lord, inquired of the Lord before acting, trusted the Lord and did good.

All Things!
Now we look at the metaphysics of the Bible. In this often neglected passage of Scripture, the apostle Paul sets forth six different levels in which the supremacy of Christ brings itself to bear. We see that He is the creating Lord, providential Lord, covenantal Lord, invading Lord, incarnate Lord, and restoring Lord. The upshot of all this is that we do not simply have the right to think whatever we want to about these six different realms of reality. Nor does anything “stick out,†since the Lordship of His worldview covers “all things.â€

He Is Able (Jude 24-25)
God's sovereign power and authority cover not only our salvation, but all of live. He made all things and keeps all things. Jude reminds us that God's sovereign power extends to His keeping us from stumbling, and bringing us to eternal joy in his presence. And not only is God able to keep us, but He desires and intends to keep us.

Biblical Faith Trusts in the Sovereign Hand of God
Biblical saving faith clings to the truth of the sovereignty of God. In our verse this morning clinging is fleshed out in two ways: 1. Clinging to the truth of the sovereignty of God will cause you to cut across the grain of what society tells you for the truth of what God tells you. 2. Clinging to the truth of the sovereignty of God will cause you to correctly defy ungodly leadership.
