Expository Sermons

In this sermon, John MacArthur explores 1 Thessalonians 5:18, where Paul commands believers to "In everything give thanks." MacArthur emphasizes that gratitude should be a constant aspect of the Christian life, regardless of circumstances. He highlights that thankfulness is a distinguishing mark of believers, contrasting it with the ungratefulness characteristic of unbelievers. By recognizing God's sovereignty and His work in all situations, Christians are called to express gratitude in every circumstance.

In the sermon "The Sovereignty of God: ‘My Counsel Shall Stand, and I Will Accomplish All My Purpose’," John Piper discusses God's absolute sovereignty and control over all events in the universe. Drawing from Isaiah 46:10, Piper explains that God knows the future not simply because He predicts it, but because He plans and accomplishes everything according to His will. God's purposes are never thwarted, and His counsel stands firm. Piper emphasizes that God's sovereignty means that nothing happens outside of His divine plan, and He has the authority, power, and wisdom to ensure His purposes are fulfilled.

This sermon, originally preached in the 1973s, addresses the biblical question of whether the church will experience tribulation before the return of Christ. While this message was delivered long before the election of any political leader, including the presidency of Donald Trump, its timeless truth remains relevant for all believers today.
