Sermon Summary:

God sovereignly chooses leaders, establishes His people, and directs His plan of salvation. In 2 Chronicles 13, He upholds His covenant with David despite rebellion. In Acts 15, He confirms that salvation comes by grace through faith, not human effort.

Key Points:

1. God Chooses Leaders for His Purpose (2 Chron. 13:1-13)

• Abijah declares God’s covenant with David.

• Victory depends on God, not human strength.

2. God Chooses Grace Over Legalism (Acts 15:1-12)

• God’s choice includes all who believe.

3. God’s Choice Calls for Trust and Obedience

• His plans are greater than our understanding.

• We are called to follow His will with faith.

What does it really mean to live by faith? Is it just believing, or is it something deeper—something that endures through trials, hardships, and the unknown?

• The perseverance of faith, even when the promise seems far off
