In today’s climate of turmoil and uncertainty, threatening and incapacitating feelings run rampant. Yet the God who created your emotions has also given you everything you need to navigate them. The Bible paints relatable and resonant portraits of women and men struggling with grief, anger, guilt, and despair—and provides divine wisdom for transforming your emotional trials into spiritual triumphs.
Scriptures: Psalm 103:19, Romans 11:33-36, 1 John 3:20, Proverbs 15:3, Job 36:32, Jeremiah 23:23-24, 1 Kings 8:27, Isaiah 55:6, 40:8
The ultimate example of the "who you know" phrase is our relationship with God. God is the absolute ruler and authority over everything and everyone. Better still, He has chosen to love us as our Ruler, our Savior and our Friend. When we know God, we have nothing to fear from life because God will reign over every circumstance we face. In this message, Dr. Merritt explains what God's sovereignty means to use as believers.
"If God is sovereign you are not the captain of your fate and you are not the master of your soul. According to the Bible, God is sovereign over everything from the mightiest galaxy to the smallest atom. He controls the angels in heaven, the inhabitants of earth, kings on thrones and beggars in streets." --Dr. Merritt
