Does God control everything, or do our choices truly matter? The Bible affirms both God's sovereign rule and human responsibility, but balancing these truths can be challenging, especially in the face of suffering and unanswered prayers. This course explores God's providence, predestination, free will, and assurance, equipping you to teach and preach with clarity and confidence. Through indepth biblical study, historical perspectives, and practical discussions, you'll gain wisdom in handling difficult doctrines and learn to engage with other Christians on these topics with humility. Join us as we seek to understand God's hand in history—and in our lives.
