Sovereignty & Suffering – God’s Character
Thanks for joining us today as we continue to build upon the content from Sunday’s sermon by revisiting elements like the main idea, exploring unanswered questions, and expanding more in depth into segments of the message. We trust you will be encouraged and challenged by the men and women of faith in Scripture as you see their walk of faith and love for the Lord.

Mix Reactions Toward God’s Sovereignty
The sovereignty of God can invoke a number of reactions from people. It may incite praise. It may create bewilderment and questions. It may incite critical comments and even anger. Since Romans 9’s focus was centralized on God’s sovereignty, let’s take a bit more time to explore that today and our mixed reactions as human beings toward this important attribute of God. “God Is the Potter. We Are the Clay.” (Romans 9:14-33)
Focus for 2023
A new year lies ahead of us. While we may have plans, we don’t know what the year may bring for us. God does though. I’d like to encourage you today with an email I received recently which addresses our focus as we enter the new year ahead, grounding is in great truths from the Scriptures and God’s character. Thanks for joining us! “A Fitness Plan for the New Year” (1 Tim 4:6-11)
A TOWERING PROBLEM (GENESIS 10-11)
Sandwiched between two genealogies is the story of the Tower of Babel in chapter 11. What is often a children’s story has important application for us today reminding us that God is still in control of this world and sovereign over it. In the chapter, we see the sin that continues to plague mankind and are forced to ask of ourselves a very important question. Thanks for watching.
GOD SAID (GENESIS 1)
We’re on vv. 3-5 today of Genesis 1. What a great set of verses this is and at the same time host to much debate. We’ll discuss that in part today and focus on two words that captured my attention as I read this text. Join us today as we journey through Genesis.
AMAZED AT GOD
As I think on God and read various passages of Scripture, I am continually amazed by our God, particularly his response toward us. In these days of chaos, I am reminded of the sovereignty of God. I wonder what the disciples thought at Jesus was on trial and headed to the cross. All their plans for him, all their plans had gone up in smoke so to speak. God of course had a bigger plan. I so appreciate the grace…
COMFORT FROM ISAIAH 40
I have talked much recently on the sovereignty and glory of God in this time of what seems to use as mass chaos. I have found those things to bring me immense comfort and help me to filter the events and situations around me. Yesterday, Pastor Paul spoke on Isaiah 40 and God being a god of comfort. Take a moment to listen to this video by Paul David Tripp where he brings both of these concepts together.
WORSHIP & RESISTANCE – JONAH 1
As I was studying the book of Jonah last night for a school paper, I was struck by comments Jonah made. We normally think of the big fish that swallowed him. Yet the story is about the sovereignty and grace of God. And Jonah becomes a picture of the attitude of the nation of Israel. In Jonah 1, he makes some interesting comments that perhaps reflect our own attitude at times. Please visit www.graceadell.org for our contact information and resources.…
EVEN THE WIND & WAVES (APRIL 16, 2020)
We read some amazing words in Matthew 8. We see the power of Jesus on display. Even the disciples you have been near him for a bit now are amazed at the power of this one who commands even the wind and waves. God is sovereign and in control, even in this time.
