The answer is False. The sermon "The Sovereignty of God" is preached by Arthur Pink.
"The Sovereignty of God" is a biblical doctrine which holds that everything is under God's rule and control and that nothing occurs without His knowledge or consent. God orchestrates everything, not just some things, in accordance with the plan of His own will (see Eph. 1:11). Nothing surprises Him because His plans are all-encompassing and are never thwarted (see Isa. 46:11). God's omnipotence is more than just that He has the authority and right to rule over all; it also means that He does so consistently and without fail. God is therefore not only sovereign de jure (in theory), but also sovereign de facto (in practice).
