We believe God knows everything, but if He does, why does He do things that grieve Him? Why does he regret decisions He makes if He doesn't make mistakes?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie answer a listener question around God's omniscience (knowing all things) and how that connects to his grief and sorrow over how things play out. There are some Scriptures that may give us pause when it comes to understanding the heart and mind of God, especially when we know God doesn't make mistakes. Our hope is that as you listen to this episode, you are able to learn a little more about the heart of God and why He allows things to happen in life that cause Him grief and heartache.

Kirk Cameron recently spoke out regarding his belief in annihilationism, that those who perish in hell will actually cease to exist. This has garnered a lot of debate, but what is right?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk about the history of annihilationnism, how the Bible speaks of eternal life and eternal torment and whether or not there is room Scripturally to believe that hell will cease to exist and be annihilated at some point in time to end the suffering of those there. This may not be a topic you have studied much, so we hope this episode can be helpful and informative for you!
