Suffering and the Sovereignty of God

We are much better at finding areas of sin in the lives of others than we are at identifying our own sins. Jesus spoke wisely when he urged us to remove the plank from our own eye before attempting to extract a speck from someone else's eye. Because we are so often blind to our own sin, we rarely acknowledge the depth of our guilt before our holy God or the profound nature of the grace He extends to us. In this message, we will reassess common assumptions about human nature in the effort to recover a biblical understanding of what we truly deserve from God.
