Speaker: Nathan JohnsonSeries: Ephesians Bible StudyStudy: 22 – Living According to God's Purpose (Ephesians 1:11-12)
A Christian's life will practically change when they realize that God is working all things according to His good purpose in Christ. In this expositional sermon from Ephesians 1:11-12, Nathan Johnson looks at the idea that we have been predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His own will – and shows how though God doesn't cause everything, He is using everything for our sanctification and for the praise of His glory. And knowing this, changes everything.
