The following is excerpted and adapted from a sermon by Pastor Jordan, called "Real Knowledge in Confusing Times." You can listen to the whole sermon or read the text here.
"As a church, we focus a great deal on the fact that God does everything in this world for His glory. He is absolutely sovereign over our salvation (Ephesians 1:3-12), our suffering (1 Peter 3:17) and our lives (James 4:13-17). God was sovereign over Jesus’ death on the cross (Acts 2:23) and over His resurrection (Acts 2:24). It is because God is sovereign that we have hope of the future (1 Peter 1:3-5), confidence in our mission (Matthew 28:18), and live without fear toward the Satanic forces set up against us (Ephesians 1:19-23). We strive to rest in the fact that God does all things in this world for His glory, and in turn, everything is for our good.
"This truth allows us to walk in assurance, and walk in confidence with joy; this means we can have faith in all circumstances, and it frees us to glorify God in every area of our lives."
