What Does God Do Today?

God is not merely a truth to believe about the past. This sermon explores the present activity of an all-powerful God who hears prayer, opens doors, works providentially, strengthens His people, and brings peace through His presence. Lydia's response in Acts 16 becomes part of a larger question: how should Christians speak and pray if we truly believe God is active today?

About this sermon

God is not merely a truth to believe about the past. This sermon explores the present activity of an all-powerful God who hears prayer, opens doors, works providentially, strengthens His people, and brings peace through His presence. Lydia's response in Acts 16 becomes part of a larger question: how should Christians speak and pray if we truly believe God is active today?

Key ideas

  • Christians should pray as people who believe God is active, present, and powerful.
  • God's work never eliminates human responsibility or obedience.
  • Providence may be difficult to explain precisely without becoming unreal or meaningless.
  • The peace of God grows from confidence in God's presence rather than control of circumstances.
