In this brief series of lessons, we look at the sovereignty of God, focusing on the fact that there are different aspects to the will of god: His permissive will, His determined will, His providential will, and His desired will.
These Bible lessons were taught by Pastor Gregg Bing in 2023 during the adult Sunday school class at Grace Bible Church in Fort Worth, TX.

God's Determined Will
Though God, in His sovereignty, does at times allow men and even angels to make their own decisions (permissive will of God), there are things that God does determine will happen exactly as He purposes. This includes things such as the creation of the universe and the call of Abraham to father the nation of Israel, however, the most outstanding example is the finished work of Jesus Christ: His sacrificial death on the cross and His resurrection.
