And yet we also see the sovereignty of God…we see the gospel of Christ.

God rules the nations, even though they do not acknowledge or worship Him.
Not many names and varieties.

4. God is sovereign over our sins.
Abram will become Abraham—the father of nations
Through Abraham the nations will be blessed.
The curse will be reversed.
Jesus is the seed of the Woman, the seed of Abraham, the one who reverses the curse.
But notice in the great commission he does not say…go make one nation.
—Pentecost we see the Spirit descend and people begin speaking in tongues.
What we miss…is that one central message is being proclaimed and heard at the same time...
Jesus saves.
Revelation—Every tribe and nation worshipping around the throne.
BABYLON defeated and destroyed.
God is sovereign over our sins, and when we mess up…we do not thwart His plans.
He can use even our most spectacular sins and use them for his Glory.
The question is will we repent of our sins and see God for who he really is...
Will we listen to Christ who tells all sinners and nations...
pick up your cross and follow me...
