SA Ep25 (Doctrine Series) Lesson 3 - Decree and Providence

from Seeking Approval Podcast · host Dr. R.C. Smelcer - Gilead Baptist Church

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we turn from who God is to how God governs, examining the biblical doctrines of God’s decree and providence. Scripture reveals a God who is not reacting to history but ruling over it, eternally purposing all things and actively sustaining, directing, and governing every moment in time. We explore how God works through real human choices and secondary causes without surrendering His sovereignty, and how He remains holy and righteous without being the author of sin. From Joseph’s suffering to the cross of Christ, this episode shows how God’s purposes stand even in a broken world, offering believers stability, confidence, and worship in the knowledge that nothing falls outside the wise and sovereign hand of God.
