Wk 3: Our God is sovereign
Jan 28, 2026 • Russell McCarson
One of the unquestionable themes of the book of Isaiah is that God is sovereign. That is a theological term that simply means that God is in control of all things at all times. 90% of the time, we would gladly affirm and “amen” that God is sovereign over all things. After all, he is God! But when things are going wrong, we don’t like to think about God being sovereign. We want to focus more on God as a comforter. But that is not the way it works. The reality is that God is both. God is sovereign, and he comforts us in tragedy. In fact, what I want us to see today is that because God is sovereign over all, he can comfort us in all situations.
