So we're going to continue with our doctrine of the week series, and I would remind you once again that depending on the doctrine that we're speaking of, we may or may not find that exact word in the scripture.

00:21

For example, you don't find the word Trinity in the Bible, but there is a Holy Trinity of father, son, and spirit that is in the scripture.

00:30

Also rapture, you don't find the word rapture in the Bible, but you do find the catching up or the snatching away of believers.

00:38

So it's not so much about the specific word. The real issue is, does the scripture teach it?

00:44

So the doctrine of the week, with all of that said, the doctrine of the week for this Sunday is divine providence, divine providence.

00:54

I like to describe providence as the hand of God, which is guiding human history.

01:01

The Bible says in Romans 8 28, and we know that all things work together for good to those who love

01:10

God, to those who are the called according to his purpose. The word providence carries the idea of both foresight and provision.

01:20

This is God's divine care overseeing his creation and how he is able to bring about everything according to his will and bring about his will in history.

01:34

Psalm 46 verse one says, God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

01:42

Therefore, we will not fear even though the earth be removed. And a promise like that is impossible without divine providence.
