God’s Sovereignty in Your Suffering: ISAIAH 38

from Understanding Christianity · host Sean Cole

In Isaiah 38, King Hezekiah receives tragic news that his sickness will end in death. He pleads with the Lord who graciously adds 15 years to his life. What does this chapter teach us? God sovereignly ordains your suffering ultimately for your good. This is not a popular message, especially with the proliferation of the Word-Faith prosperity gospel. It’s also not a popular message because people don’t like to deal with a sovereign God who ordains suffering. Why would God allow me to suffer? How can God be good in any way if I have to endure an illness, disease, or catastrophe in my life? Listen and find out as Dr. Sean Cole preaches Isaiah 38.   You can purchase Sean’s two books here:   40 Days in Philippians: Finding Joy in Jesus:   https://g3min.org/shop/books/g3press/40-days-in-philippians-finding-joy-in-jesus-sean-cole/   Your Identity in the Trinity: Discovering God’s Grace in the Gospel:  https://rb.gy/yoa223     VISIT OUR WEBSITE:   www.seancole.net     FOLLOW on:   Apple:   https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/understanding-christianity/id979729949   Spotify:   https://open.spotify.com/show/5F5IniTefWZPu2DjaazxPc?si=c37f71675a6e4321     FOLLOW US ON OUR SOCIALS:   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyVY-eZBee0   Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/sean.cole.16144   Twitter/X:   https://x.com/sdcole
