How is the gospel connected to God's absolute sovereignty?

Are they connected?

They are connected, inseparably so, and millions of people in the United States and around

the globe over the past few decades have been waking up to this incredible connection.

As Pastor John explained in his 2019 gospel coalition National Conference message delivered

just over a year ago, I wanted to revisit this message on Mark 8 verses 31 to 38.

Here's Pastor John in Indianapolis to explain.

Now something has been happening in the last 50 years.

That's amazing in the world in relation to this text.

The gospel coalition, for example, has come into existence along with hundreds and hundreds.

I first wrote thousands, but I thought I'd stay with hundreds just because I could probably

find them.

I think it's probably thousands, but hundreds and hundreds of ministries, churches, schools,

mission agencies, publishing houses, websites, spiritual movements in dozens of countries

around the world.

Thousands of people have been waking up to the beautiful interweaving of the sovereignty

of God with the gospel.

More and more people are coming to see and cherish that the ultimate control of God over

all things is different than they thought it was.

Thousands of people are discovering that the sovereignty of God is not peripheral.

It's not troublesome.

It's not academic for debate to argument.
