Embracing the Sovereignty of God: A Cornerstone of Worship at Spirit and Truth Church

Aug 27

At Spirit and Truth Church in Fort Collins, Colorado, we believe that understanding God’s attributes transforms how we live, worship, and serve. Among these attributes, His sovereignty stands as a foundational truth that anchors our faith and fuels our mission to follow Jesus in both spirit and truth.

What Does It Mean That God Is Sovereign?

God’s sovereignty means He holds ultimate authority over all creation, exercising His power, wisdom, and purpose without limitation. As Psalm 24:1 declares, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it”. This truth reassures us that nothing happens outside His control—whether the grand sweep of history or the intimate details of our lives. At Spirit and Truth, we embrace this reality, trusting that His plans are perfect, even when circumstances feel uncertain.

Key Aspects of Divine Sovereignty

Supreme Authority: God’s rule is absolute. He is “King of kings and Lord of lords” (1 Timothy 6:15), directing nations and individuals alike.
Unmatched Power: He created and sustains all things, from the cosmos to our daily breath (Nehemiah 9:6).
Purposeful Governance: Every event aligns with His redemptive plan, as seen in Joseph’s story (Genesis 50:20) and Christ’s resurrection.

Sovereignty in Spirit and Truth

Our church’s name reflects our commitment to worshiping God fully—through the freedom of the Holy Spirit and the grounding of Scripture. Here’s how His sovereignty shapes our community:

1. Spirit-Led Worship
The Holy Spirit empowers us to live boldly, overcome sin, and pursue God’s mission (Acts 4:31, Romans 8:11). Because God is sovereign, we trust His Spirit to guide our gatherings, heal brokenness, and ignite passion for the Gospel.

2. Truth-Centered Teaching
We submit to the Bible as God’s timeless, authoritative Word. His sovereignty ensures Scripture remains “relevant, instructing us on healthy living and providing wisdom” (Psalm 119:105). Through verse-by verse preaching, we explore how His sovereign love shapes our worldview and daily choices.

3. Community Transformed by Trust
Knowing God controls all things frees us from fear and fuels radical obedience. As Jesus taught, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me” (Matthew 28:18). This truth inspires our House Churches—midweek gatherings where we pray, study, and support one another in living out God’s purposes.

Why Sovereignty Matters for Your Life

In Trials: When suffering arises, we remember God permits only what He can redeem (Romans 8:28).
In Mission: His authority compels us to share the Gospel, knowing He alone changes hearts (John 16:8-9).
In Worship: We rejoice not in our circumstances but in His unchanging character (Isaiah 40:22-23).
