Ordinary & Extraordinary Providence of God

Summary

The sermon explores the concept of God's providence, distinguishing between ordinary providence—God's usual laws and natural order—and extraordinary providence, where God intervenes in miraculous ways. The preacher illustrates this with biblical examples such as the floating axe head, the feeding of the 5,000, and the protection of Jerusalem from the Assyrian army. He emphasizes that while God sustains the universe through ordinary means, He can and does suspend these laws for His purposes, but such interventions are not to be expected regularly. The message also addresses misconceptions about predestination and God's involvement in every event, highlighting that God deals with people differently at different times.
