Dr. Jordan Rogers concluded preaching through the entire Book of Genesis in this sermon from Genesis 50:1-26 entitled, "Three Affirmations of the Sovereignty of God."
The great comfort of God’s people is that He is graciously sovereign in His prerogative, His purpose, and His plan.
God is graciously sovereign in His prerogative-having all authority and power to make His decision and carry it out. He is graciously sovereign in His purpose-having His aim and intentions in mind always and only to glorify His name and accomplish good for His people. He is graciously sovereign in His plan-with absolute power and authority, God orchestrates all His actions in history together with perfect precision. Truly, these facts secure the peace of God’s people and provides unparalleled comfort for all who love Him.
