Is God sovereign over every aspect of our lives?  What does Jesus mean when He says that all authority has been given to Him?  Typically when we think about God's sovereignty we almost immediately think about how to understand evil and suffering in the world.  Today we focus on a different aspect of God's sovereignty, namely how He is the Lord and King over our work, recreation, worship, family, and relationships.  We also discuss the reality that even though there are different spheres in our lives, Jesus is Lord over all of them.
