How can the loving and forgiving God we see in the New Testament seem to take so much pleasure in destroying people in the Old Testament? 

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through one of the harder questions for Christians to swallow regarding the relationship of God's wrath and His mercy. Listen in as we go through many Scriptures about the attributes of God and answer this question!
