If God truly ordains all things, does that mean our actions, words, and obedience are irrelevant?

In this clip from Acts 14:1–7, we confront a common mistake among Christians—especially those who rightly affirm God’s sovereignty—where sound doctrine is quietly turned into an excuse for passivity, disengagement, or careless witness.

Scripture teaches that the God who ordains the ends also ordains the means—and even the manner in which those means are carried out. How we live, how we speak, and how we persuade truly matters.

This message presses against over-spiritualizing reality and calls believers to faithful obedience grounded in God’s sovereign purposes.
