Join Pastor Dave Jordan for part two of our Bible Hour series on the Sovereignty of God.

In this sermon, Pastor Dave examines what divine sovereignty truly means, how it shapes our view of life’s trials and blessings, and why trusting in God’s ultimate plan brings lasting peace.

This message includes:
A review of key biblical passages demonstrating God's control over all things
An extended look at the story of Joseph and how God used suffering for His purposes
Practical encouragement for believers facing uncertainty, discouragement, or fear

Dive deep with us as we reflect on how God orchestrates every event—good or painful—for His glory and our good.

Key Scriptures: Genesis 35–50 (Joseph’s story), Proverbs 14:6, Romans 8:28, Jeremiah 18, Lamentations 3:38, Psalm 105, Genesis 50:20
