: God’s Sovereign Providence in Persecution: Genesis 50 and Acts 8 Church History

This episode of Memorable Monday with Rocky Stevenson Pastor of Benoni Bible Church confronts a dark chapter in church history to expose an unshakeable theological reality: what man intends for evil, God sovereignly designs for the global advancement of His kingdom. We trace the direct historical line from the horrific events of August 24, 1572—the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre in Paris, France—to the arrival of the true gospel on the shores of Southern Africa.

Throughout the history of global missions, the Christian faith has primarily advanced through a dual engine: either the radical willingness of the church to go, or the sovereign pressure of persecution that forces the church to scatter. When King Charles IX attempted to eradicate the French Reformation by slaughtering thousands of Calvinist Protestants, he unintentionally sparked a multi-generational diaspora. Refined in the furnace of affliction, over 160,000 French Huguenots fled their homes, eventually leading a dedicated remnant to step off the ship Oosterland at the Cape of Good Hope on April 25, 1688. Grounded in the absolute sovereignty of God as revealed in Genesis 50:20 and Acts 8:1–4, this exposition details how a horrific tragedy in Europe injected vital spiritual grit, Calvinist theology, and biblical family discipleship directly into the bloodstream of the early African church. We invite you to listen to this gripping historical narrative and reflect on how the Lord remains completely unshaken, ruling sovereignly over human history today.

Wynand speak to Johannes Wolfaardt about his testimony and growing up under terrible circumstances and fosterhomes Good News Time

To face trials, the bible tells us to be armed with an unusual armour: humility. But humility is one of those things that slips out of our grasp. Peter shows us that we can only be humble by being confronted with the massive realities of the Gospel. We learn what these are in 1 Peter 1:17-21.

We start off with Dr. Chuck Day joining us every Monday morning. He is Associate Pastor at Lewende Woord and today he explains his theme: “The Hebrew poetry in Is 53:6” Good News Time

Vandag se Sondag Erediens is waargeneem deur Ds. Gawie Gouws (Kaap Kerk) met die tema: Jeremia 31

Op die 30ste Junie, het ons gesien hoe weke se opgeboude sosiale spanning ’n kookpunt bereik het met nasionale optogte teen ongedokumenteerde immigrante. Terwyl die politieke en sekuriteitsanaliseerders die gebeure vanuit ’n wetlike en ekonomiese lens ontleed, worstel ons met n ander realiteit. Volgens sensusdata identifiseer die oorgrote meerderheid Suid-Afrikaners hulself as Christene. Ons is ’n samelewing wat grootgeword het met die Bybel op die bedkassie. Jannie Pelser en gaste, Dr Braam Hanekom en Dr Andre van Niekerk het hierdie tema bespreek www.radiokansel.co.za
