Dr. Jordan Rogers continues preaching through the Book of Genesis in this sermon from Genesis 47:1-31 entitled, “The Sovereign Providence of God."

God providentially sustains His people as He prepares them to receive His promise.

Among many things we learn about God in Scripture, one particular truth God’s people should observe and comforted by is the reality that God in all His power, has determined to provide and care for us during the time in which He is preparing us to receive all the benefits and full realization of His promises. So then, during our lives here on this earth, despite suffering and trial, we can and must be filled with joy and hope as we faithfully rejoice in the sovereign providence of God.
