25. Who is God? Omniscient!

25. Who is God? Omniscient!

Another attribute that makes God is amazing His omniscience. As humans, we are often reminded how much we don't know. God knows everything down to the smallest detail. Does the Bible really speak about this? If God knows everything why doesn't he stop the bad things that He knows will happen? What does it means that God foreknew who would be saved? Why should you be comforted by God knowing all things? Listen in, as we try to answer these questions!

24. Who is God? Omnipotent! Part 2

24. Who is God? Omnipotent! Part 2

In part two of Omnipotent, we covered how learning of God's power and authority practically impacts our lives. God's power should cause us trust him. With confidence that God has sovereignly protected and preserved His Word throughout time, we should be courageous to proclaim what it says in obedience, without fear of man!

23. Who is God? Omnipotent! Part 1

23. Who is God? Omnipotent! Part 1

We often say that God is strong and mighty, and we sing about how He is the Almighty God, but what do we actually mean by these titles? In Part 1 of our focus on Omnipotence, we go through some of the relevant questions that often arise concerning God's power and control over the world. If God is all-powerful, how should we look at the bad things that happen?

22. Waiting on the Lord

22. Waiting on the Lord

Many of us have gone through times of intense uncertainty in life. In these times we should wait on the Lord. But for you that have heard this phrase before, numerous times even, it may have become some cliche that doesn't create great confidence in your heart. In this episode, we go through why waiting on the Lord should breed courage in our souls. What does it mean to wait on the Lord? What about God would make us believe He won't let us down? What are the promises of God that Christians have the privilege of clinging to every second of their lives? These are some of the questions that we attempt to answer.

21. Who is God? Merciful!

21. Who is God? Merciful!

Why would God save you? With the help of Dr. Dane Ortlund's "Gentle and Lowly," we delve into one of the most beautiful truths in the Bible. Simply put, God saves us because He is merciful. We are not saved because we are particularly lovely. God doesn't save us because He needed to. We haven't done any good work that would impress God enough to save us. However, God desires to bring us near because He is at the core of His being...merciful. Come and marvel at the mercy of God with us.

20. Who is God? Omnipresent!

20. Who is God? Omnipresent!

The omnipresence is another attribute of God that blows the minds of us created folk. Is God really everywhere? Learning about this amazing truth of God is not purposeless. This attribute brings comfort to those that trust in Christ and terror to the unbeliever. Oh, btw, is God present in hell? Tune in to find out!

18. What is Repentance?

What is repentance, and why is it a necessary part of the Christian life?
