God Is in Control
Romans 8:28–31 (NIV)
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.
30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Sermon Points
- God knows the end result!
- God called you, and He knows you!
- Your response to adversity is bigger than what happened to you!
Conclusion: The Blind Test
A blindfolded student is guided through the Great Room. The guide represents God, who can see the path when we cannot.
- I can’t see the path.
- I must listen to the guide.
- I must trust where I’m being led.
The test isn’t whether you can see where God is taking you—it’s whether you can trust God when you can’t see what He’s doing.
God is in control.
