Between the Trees V: The God Who Directs

Around the world we find that the Ruler determines the rights. As Americans, we learn from the Declaration of Independence "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." As a Christian, we learn from the Bible that God is sovereign. In this fifth week of the "Between the Trees" series, Pastor Andrew brings us to Isaiah 40 as we learn about God's sovereignty. How he weighed the mountains, measured the waters of the earth in the palm of His hand, and used His hand to mark off the heavens. Yet our sin has distorted our view of God and of ourselves. What about my rights? Remember, the Ruler determines the rights. We find that the sovereign God saved fallen man when God became a Man. The God who rules gave us rights as children when Jesus surrendered His rights as a Son.
