When Is It God's Will and When Does He Allow?

Why do people suffer? Does God intervene? Are our lives predetermined or the result of our efforts and actions? When we experience difficulties, joyful circumstances or successes in life, is that God's will or is God just allowing those events to occur? This message explores a biblical understanding of God's will in our lives, and examines three aspects of His will: God's sovereign will, God's revealed will and His desired will.
