The Sovereignty of God

We at Crossway often talk about the sovereignty of God, his power and purpose being displayed in even the smallest of events, and even over the actions of his free and responsible creatures. There are numerous reasons to affirm this doctrine, but the most important of these is that we think that it is biblical. But is it? The debate over such things has gone on for some time, but often comes back to the texts that we will be talking about soon – the hardening of Pharaoh’s heart. As we consider these texts today, and the other ways in which God is showing his power over the created order, I hope we can bring clarity and inspire faithfulness in this important doctrine!
