Perhaps the most common question asked about God is, why does God allow bad things to happen?

One recent survey found that this question, in some form or another, is at the heart of almost every faith question or struggle individuals have.

This week, we tackle that question head on as we study the rising action of the Exodus in chapter 7 through 13,

specifically the plagues the Lord sends to Egypt. If it's true that the Lord is all-knowing,

all-powerful, and ever-present, then we can look at moments of conflict and trial as prime

opportunities to learn more about who he is and who we are.

together. Hello and welcome to this week's episode. We are today studying, continuing our study.

How about that?

Well, I do like this study a lot because I think it helps to answer some really painful

questions.
