Jeff Durbin: The Comprehensive Sovereignty Of God | Proverbs 16:9 

God bless you Pastor Jeff for a good sermon

There was a time when Proverbs 16:9 represented to me the presence of God in my life, I used to cling to it and recite it just to get through the day. Thanks for reminding me that God is Sovereign.

I was just speaking it to myself this morning that the sovereignty of God does not depend upon your participation or lack there of

Thank you so much for this--your sermon has helped me understand some things that troubled me. God bless you.

Rejoyced this morning thinking on our GREAT, Sovereign God as our family listened to this sermon. Thank you pastor Jeff!

This is why prayer works.

I'm so glad to hear someone teach this verse. It's one of my favorites, but I hope he talks about its sister verse 16:4 as well.

Amen praise God ❤

A truly amazing message here. I was so fortunate last night, i got to preach/teach the teen challenge men. Blew their minds with God's truth on this subject. 🙏

Beautiful. Someone addicted to something my feel they are free to choose their poison, but indeed, they are slaves to it.

So thankful to be able to listen to these sermons from NJ

This is really good

Honey for my soul.

May all idols be crushed into dust and their worshippers be made to eat that dust. Moreover, may the worshippers repent in the ashes of that dust.

I love the teachings and listen every week. Would you please fix the issue with the audio and video not being in synch? Thank you. 😊

I needed to hear this.

It was cool to meet Pastor Jeff a few weeks at G3 in Atlanta!

Amen

I'm not a Calvin's, but Jeff has a reL Chuck Missler vibe other then that. Thanks for your insight.

Divine council is gods gets scorched here and I was here for it

What is Provisionism? The terms Provisionism and Provisionist are new by the standards of Christian theology. These labels have only been formally defined and used in the past few years. In broad terms, a Provisionist-someone who holds to Provisionism-holds a generally Arminian view of free will and salvation, with notable differences such as positive belief in eternal security. The main gist of Provisionism is the idea that the gospel is the Word of God, which is sufficient in itself, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to enable a response in all who hear God’s appeal to be reconciled to Him (John 6:63; Hebrews 4:12). The clearest differences between Provisionist doctrine and classical Reformed theology are seen in the concepts of total depravity and limited atonement. The doctrine of total depravity suggests all people are inherently sinful, such that they could not even want to be saved without a direct, predestined act of God. Provisionism counters that all people are sinful and responsible for their sin, but they are also responsible for answering God’s universal call for men to be saved (Titus 2:11). Limited atonement is a doctrine teaching that Christ only died for those God had designated as the elect. A Provisionist would reject this, saying that the Bible teaches that Christ died for all people (1 John 2:2), which is why God promises to save any who come to Him in faith (Romans 10:11-13; Revelation 22:17). The Provisionist holds that Christ genuinely desires all of humanity to be saved (Luke 5:32; 19:10; 1 Timothy 2:4-6; ). In effect, this means a Provisionist would also reject other Reformed doctrines such as irresistible grace. The main use of the term Provisionism comes from the writings of theologian Leighton Flowers. The term is also meant to describe the general approach to salvation held by most Southern and Independent Baptists. So far as Reformed doctrine is concerned, this means narrow disagreement on the subjects of total depravity and limited atonement, as well as the exact meaning of words like predestined and elect. Similar to the TULIP in Calvinism, Provisionism can be summarized with the acrostic PROVIDE Responsible: Able-to-respond to God’s appeals for reconciliation. Open door: For anyone to enter by faith. Whosoever will may come to His open arms. Vicarious atonement: Provides a way for anyone to be saved by Christ’s blood. Illuminating grace: Provides clearly revealed truth so that all can know and respond in faith. Destroyed: For unbelief and resisting the Holy Spirit. Eternal security: For all true believers.

48:59 okay but you know what people mean when they say free will however I like the point that it’s not a free will, but a will to sin

Thank you, I've been fighting people on the false doctrine of Free Will, they don't understand also we have been given a Choice, His Will or our own, Life or Death but if you choose 1 or the other you still have a Master over you this it's not Free. Also true Free Will constitutes no Judgement for executing said Will, so in Truth to God alone be Free Will.

Can’t help but ask this @9:26 he starts talking about choosing the right way or trying to decide Gods will. From a Calvinistic perspective whichever way you choose would be God’s will. Even if I chose sin it would be Gods pre determined will. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Is there anything y'all can do to reduce the treble? I love Apologia but the audio always sounds peircing.

Sermon starts at 1:48 😊

38:42 just because God can tell you why everything happened does not mean he made it happen, I could tell you about why some things happen that doesn’t mean I made them happen.

Not so sure that’s what those verses mean though, is everything y permission? Yes but that in itself means God does not make every decision he did not plan for everything that happens to happen, otherwise it’s not permission it’s his decision. Someone murders someone it was Gods will and decision, but we know that’s not true it was by permission not decision. Other than decision to not act.

PROVERBS 16:9 9 A man's heart DEVISETH HIS WAY: but the LORD directeth his steps. Q: Yes or no according to the above verse does man have the ability to devise his own way? This verse DISPROVES your view and proves mankind CAN devise his own way. Answer this other question: If God has predestined everything then please explain to me what exactly is God directing in this passage? Is the Lord directing HIS own steps that He Himself has decreed? So God is directing HIMSELF? 🤦‍♂️ See how non-sensical and foolish that sounds?

becareful Jeff your gray hairs are coming 🤣🤣🤣

Funny how he doesn’t use a single passage of scripture with the word sovereignty or sovereign in it. He’s invented his own fleshly definition of sovereignty.

He’s a false prophet by the Bible’s standard.
