In week three of our Asking for a Friend series Pastor Mel answers big questions about the will of God, exploring the tension between human free will and divine sovereignty. He unpacks why God created Adam and Eve knowing the fall would happen, examines angelic rebellion with Lucifer, and explains the hardening of Pharaoh’s heart in Exodus through the lens of Romans. Mel contrasts the anxiety of viewing God’s will as a tightrope with the peace of seeing it as a river that carries us within safe boundaries, while affirming that God works all things together for good for those who love Him. He reminds us that holiness aligns our wills with God’s, and that the Father’s good plan includes redemption and restoration despite a broken world.
