When the Word Abides
Summary
This sermon addresses the concept of prayer's power by examining John 15:1-8 and emphasizing God's sovereignty. John Piper, referencing Charles Spurgeon and Proverbs 16:33, argues that God's predestination includes our prayers, making them integral to His ordained plan. The takeaway is that our prayers are not in conflict with but are part of God's sovereign will, and when we pray, we fulfill His plan and are answered.
