Is It Luck or God? Divine Sovereignty vs. Free Will

B5L6 Is your life guided by luck or by God's sovereign plan? In this Bible study, Les Feldick continues his study of Genesis 24, showing how the story of Isaac and Rebekah is a perfect picture of Christ and His Church. You will learn how God orchestrates every detail of our lives while still giving us the free will to choose Him. Les Feldick explains the typology of Abraham’s servant (the Holy Spirit) finding a bride for Isaac (Christ) and how Rebekah’s decision to "go" mirrors our decision to follow Jesus. He also contrasts the "adulterous wife" of Israel in the Old Testament with the "chaste virgin" Bride of Christ in the New Testament, using Psalm 2 and 2 Corinthians 11 to show the difference between God's program for Israel and the Church. 00:00 – Introduction: The Allegory of the Holy Spirit & The Bride 01:12 – The Servant’s Journey: Gifts & Guidance (Genesis 24:10) 03:08 – The Servant’s Prayer: Asking for a Sign 05:20 – "No Such Thing as Luck": God’s Sovereignty in Our Lives 07:25 – Rebekah at the Well: The Sign Fulfilled 10:20 – Laban’s Greed & The Servant’s Welcome 12:54 – Rebekah’s Choice: "I Will Go" (Free Will Explained) 15:46 – Isaac Meets Rebekah: A Picture of Christ & The Church 17:34 – Psalm 2: The Rejection of God’s Anointed King 21:05 – Israel vs. The Church: The Wife vs. The Bride (2 Cor 11:2) 23:45 – God’s Response to Rejection: "He Shall Have Them in Derision" Watch more lessons from Les Feldick Bible Study to deepen your understanding of Scripture.
