Description
Grace Before Time: Unpacking Unconditional Election
This week on Upon Further Review, we continue our 'Amazing Doctrines of Grace' series by exploring the second letter in the TULIP: Unconditional Election. In this episode, Dr. John Hall and Associate Pastor Cody Kitchen flip roles. This time, Dr. Hall poses the questions, and Cody unpacks what it means that God chooses by His grace, not by our merit.
Together, they walk through Scripture, wrestle with the questions, and point us back to God’s sovereignty and mercy. Whether you’ve studied this doctrine before or are hearing it for the first time, you’ll be invited to marvel at God’s glory and His plan of salvation—grace before time began.
