Does God Love Everyone The Same? with Pastor Coulter Conner

Christ's love for the church is different than his love for the word.  God has a general love for the world. It's why every person has the opportunity to repent and believe. It's why God's air is in all of our lungs.  But God has a special love for his church. He gave his life for her and committed to working all things for her good.  Pastor Coulter Conner joins us to discuss what the Bible teaches about the love of God and what it means for us.  This will help us gain a deeper appreciation for God's grace to us. And we will see how this doctrine has major implications for many other doctrines.  Check out the book None Greater: The Undomesticated Attributes of God by Matthew Barrett that was mentioned in the episode.  Pastor Coulter Conner is a pastor at Christ's Church of Labette County in Kansas, and he is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in New Testament Studies from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.  Please leave a review of this episode with your honest thoughts or share any comments with us here.
