In such a fallen and broken world, are God’s promises still at work and can we count on them to be fulfilled today? How can we be assured he is sovereign?

God’s Promise Fulfilled // The Coming Of The Messiah

At the end even evil serves God’s purpose because he is in total control. God is in sovereign control of life and history and is worthy of our trust

“God heals the broken. Everyone in this genealogy of Jesus is sinful and broken except Jesus himself. But the question is what do these people do with their brokenness? What is the attitude of their hearts? We know how David behaved. He arranged the killing of Uriah and he took Uriah’s wife. But when he was confronted what did he do? We all know psalm 51. He repented, he went before God with a broken heart.”
