The Absolute Sovereignty of God Over All Things

Image
The Absolute Sovereignty of God Over All Things Some people view God and Satan as equally matched in an arm-wrestling contest. At times Satan wins and bad things happen; on other days God wins, and good things occur. But the Bible teaches that nothing ever takes place apart from God's holy plan. Sorrow, pain, joy, pleasure -- all are ordained by God for our good and his glory. "Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come?" (Lam 3:38). "...I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD, do all these things" (Isa 45:7). "The Lord works out everything for his own ends, even the wicked..." (Prov 16:4). Yet amazingly, because he is infinitely powerful and good, God accomplishes his own ends in a manner totally without sin and without forcing his creatures to act against their wills. #bricklanecommunitychurch   #bricklanechurch   #elverson   #church   #worship #sovereigntyofgod   #faith

Fall Week of Prayer

Image
At Brick Lane we are intentional about praying together. We gather to pray every Sunday evening. Every spring and fall we have a special week where each day offers opportunities at various times and places for folks to gather and pray about particular timely matters in our church, our community and the world. This fall we will do it a little differently, but we will pray. https://www.brick52.org #bricklanecommunitychurch   #bricklanechurch   #fallweekofprayer   #prayer

The Grandeur and Glory of God

Image
The Grandeur and Glory of God God is infinitely above us, his thoughts beyond ours, "his paths beyond all tracing out."  He is by far the most important person in the universe. We exist for him, not vice versa. Worship is not primarily to comfort us but to magnify him. Yet amazingly, God has arranged that what glorifies him benefits us.  Only as we lose ourselves in admiring and serving him do we discover true life, and stumble upon real joy. "For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen" (Rom 11:36). https://www.brick52.org/what-we-believe #bricklanecommunitychurch   #bricklanechurch   #elverson   #gloryofgod
