“God Reigns: The Sovereignty of God”
Teacher: Justin Pillsbury
The sovereignty of God, is it possible that this doctrine could
lead to a greater, deeper and more abiding joy? It may seem a
little more natural to say God reigns in the sweet moments of life,
but what happens when we don’t get into the school that all our
25
friends do, or when our parents get divorced, or when our best
friend is a superior athlete, or when we become obsessed with
our body image, or when we get a cancer diagnosis or we move
to a new town? Is it possible for us to praise God in the sweet
moments of life as well as the moments it feels like He is slaying
us? This beautiful doctrine teaches us our sovereign God is in
love with us, for us and is calling us to trust Him. God is using
every moment in our lives to bring us near to Him. God’s
sovereignty enables us to not lose heart as we trust in His
guiding, sustaining, loving and all-sufficient hand. We are in the
grip of the loving Father and He will never let us go!
