Has there ever been a time in your life when you tried to bargain with God? Perhaps it is something most of us do when we are in desperate circumstances, whether we realize it or not. There are a variety of biblical stories in which people seem to do this, and sometimes God responds favorably. This lecture will explore the notion of striking deals with God: Can the Lord of the universe really be maneuvered into an agreement by his finite creatures? Should bargaining ever be a part of our prayer life, and if so, what can we possibly offer God as a bargaining chip? What does God's willingness to respond to us tell us about his character?
