Sovereign Grace

from Vessel Houston · host Mike Yager

It was a blessing to welcome guest preacher, Malia Palmer, who beautifully led us through the challenging story of Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22. When God tests and commands, he provides and resurrects. (sermon begins at 01:00)Scripture & QuotationsGenesis 22:1-14Psalm 24:1“God is shown to be fully sovereign just as He is graciously faithful. That God provides shows His gracious faithfulness. That God tests is a disclosure of His free sovereignty. [...] the two marks of God are always encountered together.” -Walter Brueggeman“[A knowledge] beyond understanding that God will find a way to bring life even in this scenario of death. That is the faith of Abraham.” -Walter Brueggeman“God is [...] offered in this story [...] as the one whose promises and demands will often not be as we want, but which will never fail us.” - Andrew McGowan
