In this episode Jeff and I talk about God&apos;s amazing power. We seek to answer the following questions. Define omnipotence.  How is God omnipotent and what Scriptures support this attribute?Why must sovereignty and omnipotence go hand in hand?  What would the implications be of God "not being all powerful." What is your reaction to Tozer&apos;s statement of "God has delegated his power to His creatures, but being self-sufficient, He cannot relinquish anything of His perfections and, power being one of them." How does God being self-sufficient connect theologically to God&apos;s omnipotence? Is there anything God cannot do? Are there any common wrong views of God&apos;s power that are prevalent in either church history or current day? If so, what are they? Has there been a moment in your life where God&apos;s omnipotence has been especially meaningful and encouraging to you? Any books you would recommend on this attribute? Worship Song?

Episode #51: Interview with Ben Little (Worship Pastor at Seaford Baptist Church)

"May the Words of My Mouth and the mediation of my heart be pleasing to you my rock and my redeemer."  (Psalm 19) A beautiful prayer for us to pray as we live and breathe and have our being. Words matter. "Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.  (Romans 12:10) How can we practically show love and honor for those we interact with? "Consider others more significant than yourself."  (Phil. 2) What can be our default position normally when listening and thinking of others?"Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear." (Ephesians 4:29) This can be a tough one. Only the Spirit of God can take the tongue.  Why is it so tempting to tear down others instead of building them up?Listen in today and think through how to honor all in grace and truth filled conversations.

Episode #49: Drawing Near to God (Hailey Toledo)

In this episode, we examine glorification. This is the end of John Murray&apos;s book, "Redemption, Accomplished and Applied." We answer questions like: Explain what glorification is and why it is at the end of application.  When does it take place?Pastors often say to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Is this true and if so what is your scriptural proof text? Is the body of Christ glorified at the same time or when they each pass away?  What would you say to the person who says, “I thought Jesus is the only one glorified.” Is the believer done with sin at this point?
