St Matthias talks

Chapman explains that God's sovereignty does not remove our responsibility. He looks at a variety of passages to explain this. Chapman looks at 2 Corinthians 4 to explore ministry. He explains that God takes action because we are blind and dead because of our sins. Chapman looks at our natural tendancy to say no to God. He stresses that in Jesus we see God's glory, and that it is Jesus who enables us to wonder at God and say yes to him. Chapman shows that God does the regeneration, resurrection, and giving sight. Chapman then looks at our part - to preach Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as servants for Jesus. 2003 Katoomba Easter Convention
