Ferris Jordan was Adult Consultant for the Sunday School Department of the Sunday School Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. The service begins with a welcome and introduction of the Sunday School Board, and of the speaker Dr. Ferris Jordan (0:00-2:47). Dr. Jordan speaks on John 11, and the sovereign plans of God. Dr. Jordan begins his message with an introduction (2:48-4:06). Afterwards, he reads John 11:1-17, and prays (4:07-8:07). He continues by explaining that despite how it may appear, God is actively working in the present world (8:08-10:56).

He continues by explaining that Jesus always acted in obedience to the sovereign will of his father (13:41-15:03). He demonstrates that God is moving in the life of each believer, in order to keep His sovereign purpose, which allows Christians to partake in the benefits of His plan (15:04-26:50).
