SERIES: God In Control<\/h2>\n

TITLE:\u00a0 Sovereign Grace<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cBut when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of woman, born under the Law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive the adoption as sons.\u201d\u00a0 Gal.4:4<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I.\u00a0 SOVEREIGN<\/strong><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

We need to acknowledge one thing about God:\u00a0 He is the (Creator<\/span><\/strong>).\u00a0 That means God is (not limited<\/span><\/strong>) like you and me.\u00a0 There is nothing (confining<\/span><\/strong>) God.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How deep is the wisdom and knowledge of God?\u00a0 He knows (everything<\/span><\/strong>).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

God is sovereign. What does that mean?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. God is the (ruler of all<\/span><\/strong>).<\/li>\n
  2. God answers to (no one<\/span><\/strong>).<\/li>\n
  3. God can accomplish (whatever<\/span><\/strong>) He wants, (any time<\/span><\/strong>) He wants, in (any way<\/span><\/strong>) he wants.<\/li>\n
  4. God sees history from (beginning to end<\/span><\/strong>).\u00a0 He is not (surprised<\/span><\/strong>) by any event.<\/li>\n
  5. God is afraid of (nothing<\/span><\/strong>).<\/li>\n
  6. God always knows (what is best<\/span><\/strong>) and He never (makes a mistake<\/span><\/strong>).<\/li>\n
  7. God is (incomprehensible<\/span><\/strong>) and eternally (powerful<\/span><\/strong>).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Check out Job 38:2-4 (p.443)<\/p>\n

    OUTCAST #1: (Tamar)<\/span><\/p>\n

    2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jeconiah<\/p>\n

    Important truth to remember: It is not the people of the Messianic line who are on display; (God\u2019s grace<\/span><\/strong>) is.<\/p>\n
