What does it mean to pray "in Jesus' name," and why do so many of us end our prayers that way? Should we end our prayers that way? We continue digging into the theology of prayer and look at how the Holy Spirit is involved in our prayers as well as how to pray effectively, in a way that is pleasing to God.

If God already knows what we need before we ask him (Matthew 6:8), then why do we pray? Does prayer really affect the way God acts?

We look at several ways in which the Bible makes it clear our prayers really do make a difference because God genuinely responds to them.

We continue digging into the question: do miracles still occur today? What evidence and arguments might suggest miracles were meant to cease with the death of the apostles? Also, what even makes someone an apostle?

We also look at the fact that the Bible openly admits that some people perform miracles, but not in God's name... these are false miracles, and they are bad!

Jesus initiated a period of time when miracles were especially common among God's people. He performed many miracles as a validation of his testimony about himself and to announce the coming of his kingdom. After him, the apostles also performed many miracles. But were miracles only for the early church? Were they restricted to Jesus and his apostles, or should we expect that God could perform a miracle for or through us today?

Is there a consistent pattern to the miracles which are described in the Bible? Why does God perform miracles? Are they a demonstration of power, such as the plagues of the Exodus? Are they simply a way for God to tip the scales in favor of his people, such as the walls of Jericho miraculously crumbling to the ground? Or is there some other reason for the miracles we read about in the Bible?

Join us as we try to work out what the Bible really says about miracles, and whether Christians today should ever expect to see miracles occur.

If God has decreed what should happen ahead of time, then do our choices really matter? While this also remains a mystery, the Bible clearly portrays our choices as being real and making a difference. Among the things which the Bible depicts as making a real difference in the world are prayer (God really responds to our prayers) and evangelism (people only know about Jesus because we choose to tell them). So even if you decide you're a Calvinist at heart, keep doing those things!

If God can use evil to accomplish good, then why are we condemned for committing evil? And if it is God who plans and directs everything, then are we still morally culpable for the evil deeds we commit?

Does God allow evil, or does he simply allow free will, and his willing creatures commit evil when they sin? Many Christians over the years have understandably affirmed that this second view is correct and that there is a wide chasm between God and the evil deeds which his creatures commit. But is this the understanding of the relationship between God and evil presented in the Bible? Join is for another week on God's providence as we dig deep into this question.
