A theological thesis challenging the modern Christian doctrine of autonomous free will. The text argues that the concept of a self-determining human will is a post-biblical development influenced by Stoic philosophy and Enlightenment thought rather than Scripture, which instead emphasizes human inability and the necessity of sovereign grace.

​Summary: A theological exploration of how God’s goodness and sovereignty remain intact even when life is painful, teaching believers to trust the "smiling face" hidden behind difficult circumstances. ​Description: In this profound sermon, we examine the "Frown of Providence"—those seasons where God's favor is wrapped in hardship rather than comfort. By looking at the biblical lives of Job and David, alongside the theology of preservation and divine government, this message reveals that no pain is pointless. Discover how the ultimate "frown" at the Cross produced the world's greatest hope, and learn to anchor your soul in a God who steers every storm toward His glory.

Faith grows through pressure. Faith grows through stretching. Faith grows through the crushing and the pressing of God.

This is the last part of a three-part sermon on the subject of Pureworship and the Glory of God in worship.
