You know all the passages that say nothing is impossible with God. And yet, there are things God cannot do. Not from a lack of power, but out of consistency with His nature.
What does the Bible say about God's providence?
Providence is God seeing ahead and providing: "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap... and yet your heavenly Father feeds them" (Matthew 6:26). From Abraham naming God "The Lord Will Provide" (Genesis 22:14) to Paul declaring that "my God will supply every need of yours" (Philippians 4:19), the Bible describes a God who cares for his own, even when nothing is visible yet.
The sermon summaries on this page explore that daily trust: finances, the future, projects, and the seasons of waiting when God works in secret. Each summary distils a teaching with its key verses and links back to the original video.

God does not beg and the Church is not a system to enrich pastors: the gold and silver already belong to Him.

There are seasons when you no longer dare to move. The stream you used to drink from has dried up, the ravens that fed you no longer come, and yet you stay clinging to that place. You hope God will simply repeat yesterday.

You've known a season when everything flowed naturally. The ravens came morning and evening, the stream flowed, the provision arrived without you having to chase after it. Then one morning, you woke up and the water had stopped flowing.

Frequently asked questions about "Providence"
What is God's providence?
It is God's action of directing, caring and providing for his creation. The word comes from the Latin providere, "to see ahead": God knows needs before they arise and prepares the answer (Genesis 22:14).
If God provides, why work?
Providence does not cancel responsibility: the Bible condemns laziness and honors work. It frees from anxiety instead — Matthew 6:33 invites us to seek the kingdom first and entrust the rest to God, not to stop acting.
What if God doesn't seem to answer?
Waiting is part of how God works: he often labors in the unseen before the answer becomes visible. Several sermons on this page show how to stay confident in the delay, without confusing silence with absence.
