Does God supernaturally intervene in the lives of people today? He did intervene 2000 years ago when Christ paid the penalty for sins. He does intervene every time a sinner becomes a saint.

Sermons on God's Intervention
Most folks that believe in God also believe that God intervenes in the lives of individuals and societies to either punish or reward them according to their works. This is a common belief in Christianity also. But if God places you in Christ and imputes the righteousness of Christ to you when you believe, this creates a problem for that doctrine. If…
God has given Christ all things. Those who are in Christ are called joint-heirs with Christ. That means that all things given to Christ have been given to those in Christ. But it was Christ that was chosen. We become part of the chosen when we by faith are placed into the body of Christ. All things that we are given are…
All things work together for good to them that love God FOR WHOM HE DID FOREKNOW . . . The reason all things work together for good to those in Christ is because God foreknew Jesus Christ.

Yet He did punish some men for their sin during their mortal lives. The key to this is understanding that when He changed His ‘modus operandi,” He always forewarned and explained what and…
When Christians talk about God intervening in the details of their lives, that idea is seldom taken more than skin deep. If God is controlling all events, or just certain events, one must take the consequences of those actions to their logical conclusion. The events of 9/11/2001 demonstrate the absurdity of thinking God is controlling the events in our lives. Why did…
Many in public life are declaring that the near miss assassination attempt on Donald Trump’s life was a miracle. Trump himself said that God caused him to turn his head at just that moment. But was the miss God’s will? Was the attempt God’s will? From scripture we know that God’s will is an objective standard. It is not subject to the…
Is everything that happens caused by God? Does God allow some things to happen while intervening in others. Does God have a specific will for the individual lives of each believer? What is God’s will for your life? These are questions that Christians have wrestled with for ages. In this series we will attempt to answer these questions from the scriptures rightly…
