SERMON NOTES:

Acts 17:26-28

John Calvin:

“Some people think of God as if he sits hidden in a watchtower on the battlefield of time, waiting anxiously to see if what men and nations do will fit in with his plan and purpose. Thus, God’s plan would be contingent upon what men and nations do. But the Scriptural truth and teaching is far more than that—God acts before the nations act; he has determined from the beginning the course of their history.”

Romans 8:28

Hebrews 12:5-11

  1. THE  GRACE OF GOD IN 

Tom Landry:

“The job of a football coach is to make men do what they don’t want to do, in order to achieve what they’ve always wanted to be.”

2. THE  GRACE OF GOD IN 

Genesis 45:5-8

 

Derek Kidner:

“At first sight the rough handling of Joseph of his brothers has the look of vengefulness. But nothing could be further from the truth. Behind the harsh pose, was a deep almost uncontrollable affection seen in Joseph’s continually running out of the room to weep. And after the ordeal is over there is nothing but overwhelming kindness and tenderness. Joseph’s enigmatic treatment of them was a kinder and a more searching test. Just how well judged was his policy can be seen in the grown and new attitudes of his brothers as the alternating sun and frost broke them open to God.”

Genesis 50:20

3. THE GRACE OF GOD IN 

John Newton:

“Everything is necessary that he sends; nothing can be necessary that he withholds.”
