In the penultimate session of our Attributes of God series Pastor LeeWood addresses the topic of God's Sovereignty. By addressing what the Scriptures say about God's rule and control over creation we can then rightly define freedom, then later free will. When rightly situated in the context of God's revelation of Himself we discover that many of the tensions surrounding this attribute of God are alleviated.

In the ninth week of our Attributes of God series Pastor Anthony takes over to talk about God's Transcendent nature and His Immanence. Though this discussion we will learn that we have a balance to strike that may not be so easy as we think.

In the eighth week of our study of Theology Proper, Pastor LeeWood dives into the complex issue of God's Justice, Mercy, and Grace. By seeing that we have cheapened the language surrounding grace and mercy, we have actually fundamentally misunderstood justice. When we see that these three attributes of God actually coincide with each other frequently, we are now forced to reassess what we think justice looks like in the world.

In week 4 of our Attributes of God series Pastor LeeWood speaks about God's holiness. After defining what God's holiness is we will explore a bunch of biblical data that illustrates how this works out in the world. The big application for us is that we have to reckon with a single fundamental question concerning God's holiness: is it reasonable for God to demand perfection from us as created beings?
