Scripture affirms God's sovereignty over all history, guiding events according to His divine purpose.
God's sovereignty is a central theme in Scripture, evidenced through His control over historical events. The sermon reflects on examples from the Bible, such as the experiences of Pharaoh and Nebuchadnezzar, illustrating how God raises up and brings down rulers. This consistent pattern shows that regardless of human arrogance, God is executing His grand design throughout history. The psalmist's plea in Psalm 9 serves as a reminder that God remains seated on His throne, judging the nations with righteousness, assuring us that nothing occurs outside of His ordained plan.
