What does it mean that God is sovereign over all events?

God's sovereignty encompasses His absolute rule over creation and every event that unfolds. The sermon illustrates that God is the first cause of all things, fundamentally challenging the belief that evil acts are outside His control. For example, in the historical events recorded in scripture, such as the Exodus and the destruction of Sodom, God demonstrated His sovereignty by orchestrating circumstances for His chosen people while enacting judgment on those opposed to Him. This recognition provides comfort to believers, affirming that nothing occurs apart from God’s divine wisdom and purpose. Therefore, we pay homage to His sovereignty in worship, acknowledging that even the most difficult events serve to glorify Him.
