Essential Bible Studies

For the first time we have Dan from the Bible Basics Webinar (www.biblebasicswebinar.com) here to talk with us about the providence of God. This is an essential Bible study because it gets at the heart of how we perceive the circumstances of our life. Are events just by chance or can God manipulate them for his purpose? This question leads us to consider many examples from the Bible of how God works behind the scenes in the lives of believers. Key Verse: “But all this I laid to heart, examining it all, how the righteous and the wise and their deeds are in the hand of God. Whether it is love or hate, man does not know; both are before him.” Ecclesiastes 9:1 Show Notes: What is Providence? the invisible hand of God working in our lives Example of Elisha (2 Kings 6:15-17) The angels (Psalm 34:7) The book The Ways of Providence by Robert Roberts (hardcopy here or here) Awareness of God in our lives Providence vs. Miracles  Providence is more applicable to today Example of the healing of the man blind from birth
