When the Crowd is Wrong (Part 2)

Speaker: Pastor Joe Ricchuiti
Series: 1 Kings, When the Crowd is Wrong
Passage: 1 Kings 22:1-40

Bible Text: 1 Kings 22:1-40 | Preacher: Pastor Joe Ricchuiti | Series: 1 Kings, When the Crowd is Wrong

God’s sovereignty:

-Acts in concert with human freedom and does not negate human responsibility for our actions

-acts in concert with our nature (example: Ahab, Judas Iscariot)

-“isn’t thwarted by human or Satanic opposition”

-doesn’t negate the need to pray

-“can override our choices” James 4:13-16

-“may allow us to experience adversity or success to mature us and show the world how we handle either one.”

-is an encouragement to us because it means God has everything under control (Acts 4:24-31)

-includes “what He causes to happen (His directive will) and what He permits to occur through secondary causes (His permissive will).”
