I. The Principle The pleasure of God is wrapped up in His love; therefore, we get a glimpse of God's pleasure in His demonstration of love in the sending of His Son and subsequent offering of Him up for our salvation. II.

You and a number no one can count from every tribe, nation, tongue, and people group! III. The Peace The Beauty in believing in the sovereignty of God is not that the doctrine magically makes sense out of all life; rather the beauty lies in the fact that God's sovereignty gives me peace when life doesn't make sense.
