In this sermon, Stu White from AFES - Monash, explores one of the most surprising moments in the Bible: God chooses Cyrus, a pagan king who doesn't know Him, to accomplish His saving purposes.

Through Isaiah 45, we see that God is sovereign over all nations, rulers, and history itself. Far from being restricted by human expectations, God works through unexpected people and circumstances to bring about His plan of salvation.

This message asks:

If God rules over all of history, how should that shape our confidence in His mission today?

You'll be encouraged to:

• Trust that God is at work even through people who do not acknowledge Him

• See that all nations and all of creation serve God's saving purposes

• Remember that God's salvation is centred on His Son and proclaimed to the ends of the earth

• Live with confidence that those around you may be only one conversation away from Christ

The good news of the gospel is not hidden. God has acted in history, revealed His salvation through Jesus, and continues to draw people from every nation to Himself.
