After a follower of Jesus has departed from this life, God may continue to use his or her influence to change the lives of others. Even those whose hearts were once hardened against the gospel can later be softened by the memory of a believer's testimony and the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit. In this message, we will turn our attention to the wife and children that Christian left behind when he began his pilgrimage to the Celestial City. Though they were once hostile to Christian's faith, their attitudes have changed since his departure.
Beloved for the way in which it highlights Jesus' care for those on the margins of society and for its care in telling the story of our Savior's life and ministry, the gospel of Luke has always been treasured by the Christian church. Dr. Sproul's expositional study of this inspired account of Jesus looks at the significant events of His life and His teachings while unfolding the meaning of both for us today.

Nations rise and fall. In our own day, we have seen the Soviet Union collapse with a swift military coup. In ancient history, there was Egypt, Assyria, and the mighty Roman Empire. But it takes more than an army to secure a nation. Here in this series "Providence: God in Control," Dr. Sproul will revisit the night when Belshazzar, the king of Babylon, discovered that walls and armies could not stay the mighty hand of God.
It is only natural for people to desire a life of significance—to make a difference in the world around them. Most of us will never do those things that solicit the world's attention. But as we shall see, nothing is too small for God to use in His master plan. If you have your Bible, open it to Exodus chapter two, as Dr. Sproul looks at some seemingly small events that changed the history of the world.
God's word tells us that we are to live by faith, not by sight. But our responses to life's trials are often riddled with sin when we distrust the goodness of God's Providence. Here Dr. Sproul will look into the life of Gideon, that "mighty man of valor" who had trouble believing God's goodness. Relying on what he saw, he doubted God's providence, and the victory that awaited him. As you shall see in this lecture, the Providence of God is never thwarted by men's disbelief.
By faith, we hold to the promise of God that "all things work together for good to those who love God." And as we go through life, we are able to see that promise manifest itself through blessing upon blessing. But when trials come our way, our vision gets blurred, and so does our faith. If we are not careful, we may be tempted to think that God is only as good as his last blessing. Here, Dr. Sproul will show how the hand of God was working behind the scenes in the life of Jacob—regardless of what Jacob could see.
Whatever you decide to do in life, it will be according to God's sovereign plan. So, ultimately which is it: your plan or God's? How do our actions work with God's providence? In this lecture Dr. Sproul continues teaching on the providence of God as he explores the "Mystery of Providence."

How can we as Christians live with confidence amid competing truth claims? Today on Renewing Your Mind, Drs. R.C. Sproul and Stephen Nichols join Lee Webb in the studio to remind us to be confident Christians. Our trust should always be in the almighty God, the One whose kingdom is unshakable.
Coming at the close of the eighteenth century, the American and French Revolutions had an enormous impact on subsequent history. While both movements were revolutionary in nature, you will see how different their aim and character were. In this lecture, Dr. Godfrey will highlight some of the key points of these events, showing especially how the American Revolution affected American church history.
God excels at overturning human expectations. When John Calvin left Geneva in 1538, he assumed that he would not be back. Content to study and minister in relative obscurity in Strasbourg, Calvin was unwittingly being equipped to return to Geneva and carry on the task of Reformation that he and William Farel had begun there. During the years ahead, John Calvin would leave a permanent mark upon both this city and the Reformed branch of Christianity.
It is often through trial and adversity that God shapes His people the most. After publishing what he thought to be an unremarkable critique of corruption in the sale of indulgences, Martin Luther found himself at the forefront of a controversy that he neither expected nor desired. In the years that followed, Luther repeatedly returned to Scripture for guidance and instruction, and his exposition of God's Word soon put him at odds with both the political and religious elites of his day.
As the church continued to consolidate its power and define its beliefs, it did not always act and speak with one voice. In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, certain churchmen began to speak out against the corrupt practices and unbiblical doctrines that had become increasingly common within the medieval church. Emphasizing the authority of the Bible and a life of genuine piety, these leaders quickly gained a large following among the spiritually hungry common people. Though these reform movements were fiercely opposed by the church, they helped to lay the groundwork for profound spiritual changes that would come in later centuries.
