Kelly & Kristen conclude Season 3 by talking about how God's mercy shows up - from generation to generation, in John the Baptizer's life purpose, as a pattern for us to follow, as a refusal to let us try earning our own salvation, and in Jesus becoming our mercy seat.

Ashley and Kristen talk about what sovereign means & why it's important to understand this characteristic of God. While thinking about how everything is under God's control, we can see that this gives us assurance in God's overall plan as we consider "all the world Thy hands have made."

Christy & Kristen talk about how God always keeps His promises, starting from the first prophecy in Genesis 3 and continuing to God's covenantal promise signaled by the rainbow that we see even today. They discuss the conditional nature of many of God's promises, how we can experience promised rest & peace even during trials in this life, and the promises that were made to Mary before she became the mother of Jesus.
