Is God Really Sovereign?

()
About this ebook
God's sovereignty is difficult for most people to wrap their minds around even when they're not going through difficult times; the topic raises many questions about salvation, evangelism, sin, and suffering. But when difficult circumstances arise, many believers ask, "Is God really in control?"
In this addition to the Church Questions series, pastor Conrad Mbewe explains the Bible's teaching on God's sovereignty and addresses the common questions that it raises. He shows how it affects one's outlook on salvation, suffering, prayer, and worship in the Christian life. This short and accessible work is ideal for anyone currently struggling with the sovereignty of God or for new Christians wanting to learn more about God's sovereignty.
- Part of the Church Questions Series: Developed to give biblical insight into common questions
- Global Perspective: Written by Zambian author and pastor Conrad Mbewe
- Useful for Seekers: Accessible for those new to faith or looking to learn more

Christians are pressed by very real questions. How does Scripture structure a church, order worship, organize ministry, and define biblical leadership? Those are just examples of the questions that are answered clearly, carefully, and winsomely in this new series from 9Marks. I am so thankful for this ministry and for its incredibly healthy and hopeful influence in so many faithful churches. I eagerly commend this series.
R. Albert Mohler Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
Sincere questions deserve thoughtful answers. If you’re not sure where to start in answering these questions, let this series serve as a diving board into the pool. These minibooks are winsomely to-the-point and great to read together with one friend or one hundred friends.
Gloria Furman, author, Missional Motherhood and The Pastor’s Wife
As a pastor, I get asked lots of questions. I’m approached by unbelievers seeking to understand the gospel, new believers unsure about next steps, and maturing believers wanting help answering questions from their Christian family, friends, neighbors, or coworkers. It’s in these moments that I wish I had a book to give them that was brief, answered their questions, and pointed them in the right direction for further study. Church Questions is a series that provides just that. Each booklet tackles one question in a biblical, brief, and practical manner. The series may be called Church Questions, but it could be called ‘Church Answers.’ I intend to pick these up by the dozens and give them away regularly. You should too.
