(John) Church, John Church, John (Preacher) Ruhamah The Gracious Designs of God, Accomplished by the Malice of His Enemies Being the Substance of an Address, Delivered on Wednesday, November 24th, 1819, at the Surrey Tabernacle, by J. Church, Being the Day of His Deliverance. Transcribed from the 1819 R. Thomas edition by David Price "The Gracious Designs of God, Accomplished by the Malice of His Enemies" by J. Church is a religious address delivered in the early 19th century, specifically in 1819. This book serves as a theological reflection that explores the concept of divine purpose in the face of human malice, particularly from a Christian perspective. The core topic revolves around the idea that God can turn the evil intentions of enemies into instruments for good, ultimately for the believer's benefit and God's glory. In this address, Church draws extensively on biblical narratives, especially the story of Joseph and his brothers, to illustrate his points. He emphasizes that, despite trials and the malicious actions of others, believers can trust in God's overarching plan, which turns adversity into spiritual growth and divine favor. Through various scriptural examples, including the lives of saints and the suffering of Jesus, Church reinforces the message that every hardship can lead to greater blessings and intimacy with God. The speaker also expresses gratitude for the support received during personal trials, highlighting the importance of faith and the community in overcoming adversity. Ultimately, the work reassures readers of God's faithfulness in being present, maintaining grace, and assuring believers of their salvation amidst life's challenges.
