Why have certain events occurred in your life? The Bible says that ultimately God is in control of all the events in our lives and in world history. In this episode we learn about this biblical truth and about what difference it should make in our lives.
Some scientific theories and some interpretations of Genesis chapter one disagree with one another. However, if scientists and biblical interpreters are careful and humble, they can find some areas of agreement.
A while back, we considered some of God’s attributes, His personal characteristics. Now we turn to God’s main works. Among the greatest of God’s works, is His creating of all things at the very beginning of time.
We’re continuing the conversation from last time. Among other things, we talk about how it’s normal for believers to sometimes become depressed. We also discuss how God works many good things from the sad things in our lives.
Today we’re talking to someone who’s doing their best, by God’s grace, to follow Jesus. Though her story has its sad moments, ultimately, it helps us better understand why the gospel is indeed GOOD news.

All of God’s attributes work together in perfect harmony. In this episode we consider God’s great love for us in Jesus and how He saves us by His grace. The Bible teaches that God’s love and grace work alongside His justice and righteousness.

In theological language, the personal characteristics of God are known as His attributes. In this episode we consider several of these attributes, including God’s power, knowledge, wisdom, and sovereignty.

About Mission Upside Down
From the publisher's feed
For 2000 years, the followers of Jesus have been on a mission, even as Jesus himself was on a mission. Often wrongly understood as “saving souls,” this mission of Jesus actually is about bringing…
