It’s a good thing God doesn’t treat us as we deserve. Some think that they have earned God’s favor because of the good things they do. But that thinking causes us to miss the point of the Gospel. What we all really need is God’s mercy. And God delights in showing us mercy. Tune in to The Bible Study Hour this week to hear Dr. James Boice speak on the God whose name is Mercy.

Join Dr. James Boice next time on The Bible Study Hour as he reveals the secret to Joshua’s complete trust in the face of overwhelming odds in a strange and hostile land.

Join us this week on The Bible Study Hour as we explore the doctrines of election and reprobation.

It is undeniable that God passes over some and chooses others. Join us this week on the Bible Study Hour to hear a biblically-grounded message on this difficult topic.
