Sermon Notes

WHO IS IN YOUR CORNER?

Our Sovereign God Controls Kings and Kingdoms
Our Sovereign God Controls His Children
Our Sovereign God Provides for His Children

OUR SOVEREIGN GOD CONTROLS KINGS AND KINGDOMS

Isaiah 44:28
It is I who says of Cyrus, ‘He is My shepherd,
And he will carry out all My desire.’
And he says of Jerusalem, ‘She will be built,’
And of the temple, ‘Your foundation will be laid.’”

Isaiah 45:1
This is what the Lord says to Cyrus His anointed,
Whom I have taken by the right hand,
To subdue nations before him
And to undo the weapons belt on the waist of kings;
To open doors before him so that gates will not be shut:

Proverbs 21:1
The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord; He turns it wherever He wishes

OUR SOVEREIGN GOD CONTROLS HIS CHILDREN

Jeremiah 29:10
“For this says the Lord, ‘When seventy years have been completed for Babylon, I will visit you and fulfill My good word to you, to bring you back to this place.”

Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.”

“Many Jews remained in Babylon, not wishing to leave their possessions behind them.” Josephus

OUR SOVEREIGN GOD PROVIDES FOR HIS CHILDREN

Join us now and learn to fight for what's important. We are encouraging everyone to be a part of a small group as they go through Fight For It, whether that’s via a Community Group on Sunday mornings, one that meets off campus, or even by leading one yourself!
