Two Counsels, PS 33:10

Summary

The sermon explores the concept of two types of counsel: the counsel of the heathen and the counsel of the Lord, emphasizing that while wicked men work against God, God's eternal counsel ultimately prevails. It highlights biblical examples such as the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, where both counsels operated simultaneously, and historical events like the defeat of the Spanish Armada and the Normandy invasion as manifestations of God's sovereign control over history. The preacher underscores God's unchanging will and purpose in salvation and history, encouraging trust in God's eternal plan despite worldly opposition.
