Tottenville Evangelical Free Church

This sermon explores the doctrine of divine providence, emphasizing God's sovereign preservation and governance over all creation, including evil actions. It establishes biblical guardrails to clarify that while God is ultimately in control, He remains sinless and good, with sin originating from creatures rather than the Creator. The message argues against attempting to cross-examine God, asserting instead that believers must trust His perfect wisdom and justice even when circumstances are incomprehensible. Using examples like Pharaoh's hardened heart and Joseph's suffering, the text illustrates how God sovereignly uses evil for holy purposes without being its author. The message concludes by pointing to the cross of Christ as the ultimate demonstration of God's sovereignty over evil and His provision for salvation.
