Are you struggling to reconcile God's sovereign plan with your personal choices?

In this powerful sermon, Dr. Roger Patterson addresses one of the most debated topics in theology: Predestination and Free Will. He explores the "unsearchable ways of God" by looking at three essential biblical concepts:

Predestination: God's eternal decision of what will ultimately come to pass.

Providence: God's ongoing direction of all things toward His purpose.

Personal Choice: Humanity's real ability to make moral choices and be accountable for them.

Dr. Patterson argues that the Bible does not present God's sovereignty and human freedom as enemies, but as "dance partners". Drawing from the account of Moses and Pharaoh in Exodus 5 and 6, he delves into the three-stage "process of the hardening of the heart", showing how Pharaoh's rejection was an intersection of divine sovereignty and his own will.

Learn how to live in the tension of these truths, understanding that God's plan will be fulfilled, yet your choices still matter.

Scripture Reference: Exodus 5-7

Key Takeaway: Your choices matter (your "rudder"), but God's will (the "current") ensures His plan will be fulfilled.
