God’s Supreme Sovereignty

Psalm 95 1 Come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. 2 Let us come to Him with thanksgiving.     Let us sing psalms of praise to Him.

3 For the Lord is a great God, a great King above all gods.

Now Is the Time to Worship Come Now Is the Time to Worship

Come, now is the time to worship Come, now is the time to worship. Come, now is the time to give your heart. Come, just as you are, to worship. Come, just as you are, before your God. Come.

for those Who gladly choose you now. One day every tongue will confess You are God. One day every knee will bow. Still the greatest treasure remains for those Who gladly choose you now.

Come, now is the time to worship Come, now is the time to worship. Come, now is the time to give your heart. Come, just as you are, to worship. Come, just as you are, before your God. Come.

for those Who gladly choose you now. One day every tongue will confess You are God. One day every knee will bow. Still the greatest treasure remains for those Who gladly choose you now.

Psalm 86 8…there is none like You, Lord;     no deeds can compare with Yours. 9 All the nations You have made     will come and worship before You, Lord;

they will bring glory to Your name they will bring glory to Your name. 10 For You are great and do marvellous deeds;     You alone are God.

God’s Supreme Sovereignty

grace abounded much more, Romans 5 20…the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,

21 so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Grace Greater Than Our Sin 201

Marvellous grace of our loving Lord, Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt, Yonder on Calvary's mount out-poured, There where the blood of the Lamb was spilt.

Grace, grace, God's grace, Grace that will pardon and cleanse within; Grace, grace, God's grace, Grace that is greater than all our sin.

Dark is the stain that we cannot hide, What can avail to wash it away Dark is the stain that we cannot hide, What can avail to wash it away! Look! there is flowing a crimson tide; Whiter than snow you may be today.

Grace, grace, God's grace, Grace that will pardon and cleanse within; Grace, grace, God's grace, Grace that is greater than all our sin.

Marvellous, infinite, matchless grace, Freely bestowed on all who believe; You that are longing to see His face, Will you this moment His grace receive?

Grace, grace, God's grace, Grace that will pardon and cleanse within; Grace, grace, God's grace, Grace that is greater than all our sin.

…the disciples were glad 21 So Jesus said to them again, John 20 …the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. 21 So Jesus said to them again,  “Peace to you! 

As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” 22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them,  “Receive the Holy Spirit.”

Breathe On Me, Breath of God 260

Breathe on me, Breath of God,  fill me with life anew,  that I may love - the way You love,  and do what You would do.

Breathe on me, Breath of God,  until my heart is pure,  until my will is one with Yours,  to do and to endure.

Breathe on me, Breath of God, till I am wholly Yours, until this earthly part of me grows with Your fire divine.

Breathe on me, Breath of God,  so shall I never die,  but live with You the perfect life  for all eternity.

God’s Supreme Sovereignty

Sovereignty NOUN 1.Supreme power or authority 1.1 The authority of a state to govern itself or another state

Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom

God is before all things God Produced All Things  God Transcends All Things God Knows All Things

God Can Do All Things (that are consistent with His nature) God Owns All Things God Rules Over All God is in Control of All Things, including human decisions

God is always true to His character PRINCIPLE God is always true to His character and His purposes

* Romans 9 – Israel’s past election

Warren Wiersbe

…the main thrust of this chapter is clear: Israel’s rejection of Christ does not deny the faithfulness of God. Romans 9 does not negate Romans 8.

to accomplish His purposes and God is still faithful, righteous, just and gracious, and He can be depended on to accomplish His purposes and keep His promises.

We can depend on: God’s Righteousness God’s Justice God’s Grace Our walk should show forth the hope that we have in Christ

We can depend on: God’s Righteousness

14 Are we saying, then, that God was unfair? Of course not! Romans 9 14 Are we saying, then, that God was unfair? Of course not!  15 For God said to Moses, “I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose.”

who decides to show mercy. We can neither choose it nor work for it. PRINCIPLE 16…it is God who decides to show mercy. We can neither choose it nor work for it.

17 For the Scriptures say that God told Pharaoh, “I have appointed you for the very purpose of displaying My power in you and to spread My fame throughout the earth.” (Exodus 9:16)

and He chooses to harden the hearts of others 18 So you see, God chooses to show mercy to some, and He chooses to harden the hearts of others so they refuse to listen.

“God is holy and must punish sin, but God is loving and desires to save sinners. If everybody is saved, it would deny His holiness.

If everybody is lost, it would deny His love. The solution to the problem [dilemma] is God’s sovereign election.”

We can depend on: God’s Righteousness God’s Justice

“Why does God blame people for not responding? 19 Well then, you might say, “Why does God blame people for not responding? Haven’t they simply done what He makes them do?”

Who are you, a mere human being, to argue with [the sovereign] God? 20 No, don’t say that. Who are you, a mere human being, to argue with [the sovereign] God?

Should the thing that was created say to the One who created it, “Why have You made me like this?” 

21 When a potter makes jars out of clay, doesn’t he have a right to use the same lump of clay to make one jar for decoration and another to throw garbage into? 

PRINCIPLE Nobody deserves God’s mercy

We can depend on: God’s Righteousness God’s Justice God’s Grace

Even though the Gentiles were not trying to follow God’s standards, 30 What does all this mean? Even though the Gentiles were not trying to follow God’s standards, they were made right with God.

And it was by faith that this took place. 31 But the people of Israel, who tried so hard to get right with God by keeping the law, never succeeded. 

Because they were trying to get right with God by keeping the law 32 Why not? Because they were trying to get right with God by keeping the law instead of by trusting in Him. They stumbled over the great rock in their path.

in the Scriptures when He said… 33 God warned them of this in the Scriptures when He said…

“I am placing a stone in Jerusalem that makes people stumble, a rock that makes them fall. But anyone who trusts in Him     will never be disgraced [ashamed].

16…I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, Romans 1 16…I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ,  for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

What Next? We can depend on: God’s Righteousness God’s Justice God’s Grace

What Next? Our walk should show forth the solid hope that we have in our sovereign God

Have you accepted Christ as YOUR Saviour? What Next? Have you accepted Christ as YOUR Saviour?

Have you accepted Christ as Lord of YOUR life? What Next? Have you accepted Christ as Lord of YOUR life?

What Next? God is in Control of all things, including human decisions God can be depended upon to accomplish His purposes and keep His promised

9 …God elevated Him to the place of highest honour and gave Him Philippians 2 9 …God elevated Him to the place of highest honour and gave Him the name above all other names, 10 that at the name of Jesus

in heaven and on earth and …every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

King of kings, Lord of lords, Jesus is Lord of all King of kings, Lord of lords, Jesus is Lord of all. All my possessions and all my life, Jesus is Lord of all.

His glory with great joy,  Jude 24-25 Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of His glory with great joy,

to the only God, our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.
